Life...

Another week has come and gone. It's crazy how the weeks kind of just run away from you when you get stuck in the M-F, 9-5 rut. Needless to say I'm very grateful for that rut now after being out of it for so long.
Nate's here visiting until tomorrow night and it's nice to have someone new to pick on. Dale was getting kind of boring. It's been so great to be here and be able to consistently see friends. It's been literally about every other weekend (and sometimes even every weekend) that someone's been up here visiting and I've only been back to St. Louis once in the past 3 months.
Missing friends is by far the hardest factor of moving for me. Everything else is stressful but there's just something about those familiar faces. I was talking on the phone with Missy tonight and just hearing her voice and the girls screaming in the background was somehow so soothing and comforting to me.

It's crazy to me that I've been here 3 months now. We've been in our new house for about 5 weeks and it's just now that we're starting to feel like things have a place. We still have a ton more of boxes to unpack though.

We plan on putting the tree up on Sunday and I'm so excited! Christmas has come so quick this year and I feel totally unprepared. I had really hoped we'd be able to come home for Christmas but it looks like we'll have to stay here with the way my schedule at work is. I did score 4 good tickets to the Milwaukee Bucks game 2 days after Christmas though, so I'm looking forward to going to that and checking out Milwaukee a bit as I've never been there.

Anyway....that's the very boring update of life lately. More to come some other day - hopefully a more exciting day at that.
