GOIN TO THE CHAPEL

NOT ME. That title may have been deceiving....my apologies. I did walk down the aisle a few days ago, but I was not the one wearing white. My very, very dear family friend Hillary and her man Atlee tied the knot, and I had the honor of being a bridesmaid. It was a great weekend filled with love, dancing, and drinking. The best kind of weekends, in my humble opinion. David was back home in St. Louis, so I was dateless; but it was still a gas. Hillary has always been like my big sister. Our dads were best friends in high school, and still have the cutest "bromance" I've ever seen. He's my brother's godfather, and their family has had an incredible influence in my life. They were an unbelievable support system when my anxiety was really bad, and I think that tough experience brought our families even closer than we were before. They truly are family. So it's been really cool to see Hillary marry such an awesome guy.

The new Mr. & Mrs.

As soon as I got back from the wedding weekend, my new roommate Cate moved in. So happy she's here! My last roommate moved out a few months ago, and I've been flying solo since then. I like my alone time as much as the next person, but that was far too much of a good thing. Cate and I actually went to high school together, we both came to DePaul, but then drifted apart. We both sort of just got into different things and different groups of friends. We reconnected a while ago, and it has been really awesome to get close with her again. She introduced me to David, so I owe her big time. It's been pretty crazy around here figuring out the move, and then just putting our apartment back together. But it's coming along! I'll be posting an apartment tour on here in the next few days, as soon as this place looks semi presentable... ;)
