Yep. We will be living in the red circle!

Sorry -- I haven't had a chance to post because there's a lot of stuff going on. Oh yeah, and I'm a worthless piece of shit!

We got the condo in Carol Stream (516 Timber Ridge Dr, Unit 308!) and we're closing on May 6th. We're moving in THAT DAY! Cuz I say so. Even if it's really late at night. Anyone want to help? I'll post a couple pictures in a few minutes.

Paul now has his own apartment, and it's absolutely fantastic. The move last weekend went extremely well. The group helping out included Mr. & Mrs. Staron, Mr. & Mrs. Kowalski, Bob (Laura's uncle), Mark Staron, Val, Laura, and myself. Last night I went over there after work and we ate some steaks, corn, potatoes, kettle chips, drank some Bud Light, and played Mario Cart on the GameCube. I can't wait to do it again.

Wedding stuff is crazy. Bridal shower is April 24th, rehearsal dinner is May 28th, wedding is May 29th. I've still gotta figure out what I'm wearing, and what the other boys (Paul, Rob, Erik) are wearing. The invitations are just about ready to be sent out. We're also working on music stuff, along with some other not-so-exciting details like the layout of the tables in the tent. I can't believe how close we are, and I can't wait.

You may wonder why I didn't mention Bill Jagnow in the list of groomsmen. Well, I found out a couple weeks ago that Bill will be unable to attend the wedding. He may be deployed the day before the wedding. Even if he's not, the powers that be won't let him take any leave. I'm certainly disappointed that he won't make it, but the fact that he'll be overseas makes it much, much worse. Good luck, Bill. Hurry the fuck home.

I purchased the new QOTSA album "Lullabies to Paralyze" last Friday. I think Paul's actually listened to it more than I have at this point, but it's good stuff. Probably not quite as good as "Songs For the Deaf", but that's tough to beat. There's a new RBF album out too. My birthday's coming up... hint, hint.

That's all for now. Someone's in the wolf!
