Well lets see, before the mess in our apartment happened. Annie came to visit on a Thursday and stayed for the weekend. I drove up to Chicago to pick up Annie from Midway airport. I would just like to state that people from Chicago who work in airports are not very nice people. after pulling up for a fraction of a second a lady told me i had to move because my party wasn't waiting for me, while little did i know Annie was running over to the car, in my frustration with this lady who wouldn't leave me alone i drove off, right as Annie came up. Annie also explained to the lady that she was here and ready to enter the car. I'm not sure, but i think there is some opportunity cost in the case of driving around the airport once again and only to make Annie wait longer. all in all, we made it to Eureka IL and only to enjoy a fun and exciting couple of days full of showers and girl time! On
Thursday night the Nelsons were able to join us, for a home cook feast cooked by Momma Chally and then we spent time watching Annie open a plethora of presents. And of course later enjoyed stories shared between both families. A good time had by all. Friday Mom Annie and I spent the day doing wedding things along with taking a trip out to the much coveted Tanners orchard. It was really packed, and quite hot that day so we didn't stay long. Got the goods, and left Saturday we took a trip up to Gevena IL, where we had a wonderful lunch hosted by Aunt MB, Emily, and Aunt Cindy the afternoon was a blast. Abigail became the center of our comic relief, and then grandma didn't remember
how long her and grandpa were married which made everyone laugh. It was a great day had by all. Well after a fun filled day in Geneva we headed home. Although for me the traveling of the night was just beginning. my car was left on 17, which is about 20 miles from Lacon, where Mikes parents live. i got into my car and headed back to bourbonnais to pick up mike, and then we got back on 17, and drove the hour and 30 minutes to lacon. all in all that day i think i drove a good 7 hours and 30 minutes or so. we spent the night Saturday at dale and Betty's only to get up at about 6 am and drive to carlock IL where mikes aunt and uncle live. we then drove to Turkey Run and spent the day hiking. The Heinold Hike, a tradition held every year by the Heinold family. it was pretty hot out that day, but we had a good time. mostly taking pictures on every rock we passed . after a long weekend we headed back home only to lear
n from our landlord that instead of star
ting the construction for our apartment on Thursday they were going to start on Wednesday. (it being Monday night we had a lot of work to do). we moved everything out of the living room, and then worked on the kitchen as well. Our guest bedroom became so full you couldn't even walk into it, and our bedroom also became our kitchen. Our microwave and coffee maker were plugged in right outside of the bathroom in the hallway between all three rooms. It was a tight space for a couple of days. When it was all said and done, everything looked really nice. While Mike and I have been trying to put our house back together, go to school and work a lot. our computer decided to die on us. With mine being "in the shop" right now, and now our only working computer won't turn on, things are not looking good. with midterms last week, we both had a lot of hmwk to accomplish. i was able to have a few days off work, so we went home for a day to Mikes parents house where dale was able to fix mikes computer. and we also just got word that mine is going to be saved as well. one of the memory sticks went bad, so we are ordering some new parts and she should be as good as new. With October flying by and probably being the busiest month since the wedding we had a lot going on. I cant believe there are only 5 days left in October. The weather is finally starting to feel like fall! although i would like to say as a conclusion to this busy month loaded with laughs, tears, and some great memories! God will never give us anything beyond what we can handle. Praise God for our new renovated apartment, praise God for all the great weather we've had to enjoy fall this year, praise God for great friends and family to enjoy life and also praise God that October 2007 is almost over! finally time to take a breath of fresh air!

ahh...sometimes i miss IL - like in the fall. Fall for you = cool crisp mornings and leaves turning. Fall for me = wildfires and smoke inhalation.
