Time is flying...

Well, I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I'm so behind on updating this thing! Here is an update on some things that I have done.

I went to a Loon's game. They lost.


I went back to Indiana but this time with a truck full of all my stuff. Damla and J.B. came down. Unfortunately it was too dark to actually do anything but they finally got to see where I live! We woke up really early in the morning and packed up the truck with the help of Tyler and my roommates Zack and Steve. By 9 am were were all set and we made the trek down to Indiana.

The drive was pretty uneventful which was a plus. When we got to Indiana we unloaded everything in the truck into the garage where it will stay until I sign a lease with the girls in Indiana. Then we showered and I headed off to show Tyler all the glory that is Indy. I showed him my new office location at Dow AgroSciences because I think it's a pretty cool looking
building.
Then we headed off to see good old Carmel High School. Then we headed down to Broad Ripple where he got to see the strip. We ate dinner at Bazbeaux's with some friends and then hit up Chumley's for a little more friendly conversation.

The next morning we got up to go look at a potential housing option. It was cute but not my favorite. After that we headed home for some Mother's Day brunch! It was only supposed to be some close family but we never close our door and ended up having quite a group of people! But as always, the more the merrier. And of course we never ran out of food thanks to Mommy's amazing ability to prepare mass quantities of food and make it all see so effortless.

After some brunch and story telling Tyler and I headed out once again to go look at a potential apartment to live in. I liked this place SO much better. So hopefully by the end of next week I'll officially have a new home...but I won't be moving again until June.

Here are a few more pictures from one of my last nights in Midland...for a couple months at least! 


I have since started LIVING in Indiana. My mom has taken to calling herself my roommate which I find pretty funny. I'm her roommate who has to call home if I'm going to be late for dinner. :)

Monday

Trey and Titus are Married!!

What a wonderful weekend!

Friday night I went over to a friends house for a BBQ which is possibly my favorite thing about warm weather finally being here. That and not having to wear coats or socks. The food was delicious and the company was amusing as always. I got to play on the Wii for a little bit and confirm that I am only good at Wii bowling.

I had to leave early on Friday night so I could get some sleep and get up early on Saturday to drive down to Indiana for...Trey and Titus's wedding!! The ceremony was lovely and pleasantly short. Then we headed downtown for the reception at the Marvis Arts and Event Center. I'd never been there before but it's really cute! The floors are all hard wood and the room just has a very warm cozy feel to it. And you could see a train go by every once in a while through the window which was so appropriate for a room full of Boilermakers! :)

The night was filled with delicious food, killer dance moves, and lots of laughter. As much as I don't like the 5 hour drive home (especially when I forget a book on tape to listen to), it's always worth it when I get there. And it's always so nice to see my friends who don't live near me!


As if 6 hours of dancing wasn't enough, we headed out to Broad Ripple to continue the fun after the wedding. We managed to stay out for a few more hours before I didn't think having cute shoes on was worth the pain in my feet anymore and we headed back to our respectful beds/couches/floors. Sunday we were supposed to have an appointment to look at a house to potentially rent but that fell through so I had lunch with my parents and then packed up and headed back to Michigan. Hopefully we'll find a place to live soon!
I managed to pack up 3 boxes of kitchen good when I got home last night so progress is being made on that front. The truck will be here on Saturday and hopefully by that time, I'll be all set to go. I can't believe that my moving day is almost here! Clearly time has been flying by but hopefully there will be lots more fun times to come this summer!

Sunday

How could I forget to mention...

...RIVERDANCE!!

It was awesome and if the farewell tour comes near you, I highly recommend going to see it. Tyler might have a different opinion. I mean, sure we were the youngest people there by about 50 years but that's beside the point. I am still amazed by the talent that those people have. How do they move their feet so fast!? And I will always love synchronized dancing. I think the best part of Slumdog Millionaire was the random dancing scene during the credits at the end. Sure it had nothing to do with the movie but you can't go wrong with a sweet dance number at the end of any movie.
