You know you've missed us

Let's clear one idea up right away....

Yes, it has been a REALLY long time.  Sorry.  You must be thinking, "there's no way Eric has been too busy to write one of these posts every now and then."  Well, you're right.  Sure life has been busy but, and let's be honest, Eric has been too lazy.  This is nothing new.  Everyone who's everyone knows this is the case and has been for... how old am I again?

So, let's move on to the happy couple...

We are still alive and kicking.  Some of you have seen us and some (a.k.a unlucky) have not.  The new apartment is no longer so new, but we're loving every second of it.  Although Crystal's cat Hugo has developed a wonderful habit of pawing at the metal blinds at 4 in the morning.  Gotta love cats!  Otherwise, the apartment life is grand.

Eric started a new job in August.  The teaching life has been traded for a big boy job at a non-for-profit based in Oak Park.  Out are the Adidas pants and gym shoes and in are the khaki pants and polo shirts.  Not many people can claim to experience adulthood for the first time at 30.

Crystal is still working hard with Cook County.  She spent most of the summer extremely jealous of Eric and his pool time, yet she still has somehow managed to be as tan.  Yes, yes, we hate her. 

As for the wedding... 4 months to go!  We've had to rebook our flights 2x already.  The esteemed Mexicana Airlines decided to go belly up and leave us scrambling for alternatives... pricey alternatives.  Either way, the trip is still good to go.  We've been busy planning our at-home reception party.  Actually, Crystal has been busy planning the at-home reception party.  Occasionally, Eric tries to provide input, but ultimately looks like an idiot because he doesn't recognize the differences in anything or understand why there have to be decorations for decorations.  But if it makes her happy then there will be decorations for decorations.

Speaking of Mexicana Airlines, Mexico is really calling our names right now, yet many people are still not officially booked.  These trips don't book themselves people!  Whether you call our travel agent or pull up expedia, it's time to take the plunge.  In case you need motivation, again, here's the pitch, again.  Fun in the sun in February, booze, pools, food, excursions, booze, oh and a wedding.  I'm pretty sure I hear the sound of keyboard keys now.

We hope all is well.  Happy marathon weekend everyone!
