Garry's Surprise 30th Birthday Party. Got there around 4pm and ate waaay too much cheese and smoked meats, played Bags of course and then ate waaaay too much Portillo's!
Humor
Quoting 'Major League' "Look at this fuckin' guy" "You want me to take him outside? Beat the shit out of him?" "Too high, Too high!" "What does that even mean 'too high'?" "I don't know how these guys are laying off pitches this close!"

Taco Dip for the Phantom Regiment party.
Social Butterflies
Sunday
Sadly departing from DoCo & Chelsea's wedding weekend, we stopped in Sturgeon Bay and had some yummy "breakfast" of lunch food.
Saturday
Tim had Billy's Bachelor Party in Hammond, IN. A town in which Billy is not allowed to return to : /. Their day was filled with Laser Tag, crappy Golf, Strip Club and walking around trying to find the drunk groom!
Monica went to Rockford for the Phantom Regiment 2008 World Championship Celebration. I've never seen so much food in my life, and learned that I'm not very good at smoking cigars ;)
Humor
Continuing to quote 'Human Giant'
"Swindled!"
"Look at all these dickheads"
"Why don't you take of MY shirt"
"Nice beard you piece of shit!"
"Tell me something I don't know ya dumb fuck!"

Can't remember :(
Social Butterflies
Thursday
We headed up to Milwaukee, I picked up my bridesmaid dress and got a mani/pedi then met Tim over at Josh & Tina's for the night
Friday
Breakfast with the Nelson's & Vogel's then hit the road for DoCo! Rehearsal, Rehearsal Dinner, and DEBAUCHERY in the hotel room!
Saturday
A very light breakfast for Monica, swirly time getting ready at the Kaeske cabin then wedding fun, gorgeousness and yes, more debauchery to round out the day!
Humor
Human Giant. Over and Over and Over.
Aww...That's Nice
The last song of the reception was "I've had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. I found Tim and made him dance along with me as I re-enacted the movie choreography ;)
20-Second T.O.
Tim programmed all the necessary DoCo addresses into Darth before the weekend. Since we were separated going to the rehearsal, I was in a carload of bridesmaids from the rehearsal and Tim & Josh just went straight to the dinner. Well, I guess the restaurant address couldn't be found when he entered it so it drew up some other "nearby" address. Well, that address ended up being in Sturgeon Bay - about 20miles south of where we needed to be. Being that one of my top 5 pet peeves is getting lost and turning around, this was quite an annoyance for me.

La Magdalena and then went to see Pineapple Express for Tim's birthday.
That's Hilarious
Katie saying she wanted to have sex with Tiger Woods on a bed of money - and Tim hearing it as bed of monkeys!
Good Talk
We've been discussing the reality of where recent events are taking us. With Tim getting the job at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange that is only part-time and not paying well, but wanting to go back to school that CME will pay for, we had to figure out what this means for us financially and for our marriage as a whole. It's still just a day at a time, so we'll have to adjust as we go : \
Recap
Tim made some career strides this month starting with more promising job opportunities and ending with his new job at the CME. Unfortunately, what we thought was the best-case-scenario, a job at the CME, wasn't as good as we hoped - as with many of our hopes. He's getting paid less than he did when he was an intern there in 2003 and it's only part-time. On the bright side, it is not sales, they pay for school immediately and it is a gigantic company. But we are in for a very very long journey before we're even near I'd been hoping to have when we got married.
Marriage Epiphany
Rolling with the punches.
A year ago, I thought we'd be house/townhouse shopping by now. Heck, I even thought there was a chance we'd be talking babies! But the past 3 months have thrown us for a loop and now we're on a different path.
So now what? We need to find things to replace what we are lacking. We aren't house shopping - so instead let's career shop! I am taking a Meeting & Event Planner course at Harper College and Tim will be looking into Master's programs - enrolling most likely in the 2nd semester.
I guess you could call it a distraction, but these positive efforts are more like filling the space available in our "dream cabinet." Life is always a little more exciting when there's something to look forward to.

My mom came to town to stay overnight before heading to....
Saturday
Drum Corps International World Championship in Indianapolis/Bloomington, IN! Which was the greatest decision EVER b/c my corps, the Phantom Regiment - friggin' WON the World Championship outright for the first time EVER. I nearly had a heart attack!! So it was very social outing since we went to the Alumni Gathering before and hit up the buses afterwards to celebrate the win with staff, members and other fans!
Humor
Playing the alphabet game on the way to Indy. And NOT finishing it until we were at the show!
Aww...That's Nice
Tim tagging along to DCI with me. I think he's off the hook now on coming to drum corps events with me!
20-Second T.O.
On our way to dinner Thursday night. Tim forgot a coupon and I was just annoyed that he forgot after he was just at home all day and couldn't remember that one thing. So he hates when I'm annoyed by him and said I was blowing it way out of proportion, etc. A couple U-Turns later, we were back out to dinner.

Hung out at Garry & Jacqui's
20-Second T.O.
I was wearing my sassy hat on Saturday, making remarks on the sly and whatnot. Tim was not a fan. It turned into much more once we got home from G&J's.
Humor
I had a really bad dream Sunday night. In it, Tim did something really bad - I have no recollection what - so I was really mad at him. Well, in this dream sequence fight it comes out that tim did a porno back when he was 18??? So I was LIVID and asking him all these questions. Turns out his part was him alone in an empty room being videotaped masterbating. Riiiiight. So we joked about that the whole week. My silly subconscious!
Aww...That's Nice!
At the baptism/birthday party at my brother's, Tim was really getting along with my aunt & uncle he barely knows as well as some of Lorie's extended family.
