Moving!

It's always nice to have a guy around, isn't it? This weekend I'll really miss mine, as I am moving out of my apartment and into my parents house for a few months. This is a huge step into the official waiting/transitional period before getting married! Joaquim and I are already thinking about where we will live in 4 1/2 months. Feel free to browse the "for rent" sections of the newspaper for us.

Last year on April 25th, Janell and I moved into our fun home for the year, and it has really been a nice place. I think we got a bit spoiled. I'm moving back in with 'rents, and she's moving into a SUPER cute one-bedroom that unfortunately has no dishwasher. Our move-in day was quite the experience! Joaquim was still here, so he and my dad pretty much did the heavy lifting. (Sunday my dad and Brian get to do it again! They're such gems.) We got all settled in, and then went back to my parents' house for a farewell dinner of Portillo's...then to O'Hare airport and a hurried goodbye. At least we were too worried about getting him onto the plane to really be sad.

All that to say it's been (almost) a year since Miss Janell Keller and I moved into apartment 206, and we are going to have a moment of silence on Tuesday, our last night there! By then, I will be sleeping on an air mattress and we'll be using plastic utensils.

Joaquim is excited for me to move out, and wishes he were here to help. So do I! And I am excited about having a tv in my room at home, because I am sure I will be holing up in there quite a bit, maybe doing my Jillian Michaels workout routine.

Should be a busy weekend, and we are on to a new phase!
