this was a happy weekend. the weather was beautiful. in a place like chicago you learn to really appreiciate the sunny mid 70 degree weather. yesterday i started tearing up my lawn- i want to expand my garden. i met some great neighboors who i'd never met before. we had a great time talking in the sun. one of my best friends came over and we sat on the front "stoop" (that's what we call the tiny front porches in chicago) and had a couple of mid-afternoon beers. perfect.
last night i went to a friend's housewarming party. it's funny, while everyone else in my life is getting more and more settled, my fiance and i are doing the opposite. i'm back in school and, if all goes as planed, he'll be back in school soon. studying to be a luthier so he can make instruments in the violin family. we'll sell our house and go back to apartment living so we can afford it. owning a house, as great as it is, carries with it a huge amount of cost and responsibility. i just realized yesterday that we're paying almost $500 a month, just for the gas bill! i can't wait to be living the simple life again. starving artists and students...
today is another gorgeous one! i plan to go to breakfast once the fiance wakes up. by the way, am i the only one that doesn't like that word, fiance?--- so i'll call him the boyfriend. so once the boyfriend wakes up we'll go eat and then i have a lot of studying to catch up with today.
