Hey guys,

Well, it was my idea to start the blog, so now that Ax has resurrected it, I better get off my lazy ass and write a post. Pat - sounds like Spain is a pretty good time, and it is pretty awesome that you get to travel Europe to meet with your girlfriend. Should I be doing a creepy facebook invite to this girl? Ax - thanks for getting things started again and the wonderful memories.

Speaking of memories, Jonathan, Meryl, and I relived some of our college days this past weekend, when we went to Molly's 21st birthday party at ISU. Yes - my girlfriend just turned 21, so deal with it. I had to drive to a work event at 6:00 AM the next morning, which was horrible. I think Jonathan and Meryl had a good time, but I don't think Jonathan blacked out (so maybe not).

In other news, I moved into my new place at the beginning of the February. I've got a one-bedroom on the far northwest side of Chicago. My daily commute went from 50 miles to 14 miles, which I am liking quite a bit. The good news when you guys come into Chicago for games, I live like 15 minutes from O'Hare and there are bars within walking distance of my apartment. The bad news is that it won't be like my parent's house with a bed for everyone.

In regards to Ted's idea, I would be up for a pre-wedding get together. I have no idea what my schedule is like for the Spring/Summer, but I'd be up for something. I'm living on my own now and on a budget, so I can't go crazy. You guys are always welcome at my place as long as I'm not visiting Molly.

Hopefully we'll keep the blogging momentum going.

Peace out,
Chris
