New Arrival

So I had my dad bring up the things that I had forgotten to take with me and some things that I couldn't. One of those things being a couch that would never fit in my car, and a bike for me to ride around on. I completely forgot to take hangers, my bed mattress and all my pots and pans. Now we have a fully working apartment with 2 couches.

Moved In

Finally after being at AU for a complete day I finally get my key and was able to fully move it. It took about 2 hours to get everything arranged. During the time I was able to identify multiple things that I had forgotten.

Moving day

I have waited as long as possible, it is now the day before classes start and I have packed nothing. I started packing at 11 in the morning and finished 5 hours later. I packed nearly everything I own too. After a 3 hour drive, I arrived to find that there was no RA there so I was locked out of my apartment until 10 o'clock when I got back from a meeting.

Let It Loose

Today is his big day. Getting married on this gorgeous Saturday. They had these marvelous cupcakes at every table that looked like flowers. I was also able to get a sneak peak of the rings before they were used. All in all a very nice wedding. Danced for well over an hour as well. Very good day.

Bachelor Party!!

After rehearsal and dinner it becomes time to party. To live up to our standard awesome parties we start a good size fire in his back yard. This wasn't too huge just a solid 10 feet. We stayed outside and talked for 2 hours and then went inside and shot pool and played Call of Duty till 6 in the morning.

Package!

Well it is getting that time of year again. Books being sent through the mail. And getting things sent to you. Most of the time it is something lame but you never know till you open it up and until then you are more excited than a baby on sugar.

Perspective

Day after getting back from cedar point and I feel like doing nothing all day. Which is precisely what i did. Very fulfilling. I did managed to find a slightly more interesting picture than of a wall though. At one point I climbed a tree and felt like it would be a good idea to take a picture hanging upside down. This is the view of my neighbor's yard from my tree.

Windmill

After watching Pushing Daises for a while I have grown to enjoy it immensely. There are many things in this show that have become very recognizable. This was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. It isn't the exact windmill farm but it is still unique and awesome.

Thrill

After a summer of very little fun and hanging out with just about nobody, I choose to set up a get together. Out of 7 people I invited only 2 were able to go. Cedar Point is a great theme park. A slew of great rides, plenty to see and tons of people to watch. A nice sunny day with occasional clouds to keep us cool. I was able to snap this picture while seated on the Top Thrill Dragster, before we took off.

New Shoes

Today I drove an hour and a half to a shoe store. It was the closest place that had Vibram Five Finger shoes. These are my first pair and probably not my last. So far I'm loving them. They look quite unconventional but that fits me perfectly.

Eloping

Well they didn't elope but it was a smaller wedding. This was a very informal wedding. Sandals and shorts. Had close family members from both sides. Making it a personal wedding to the both of them. Afterwards we put on some trunks and hoped in a pool to relax.

Relax

Sometimes it is good to take a day off. That is what consisted of this day. Had a lot of down time. I did manage to find some time to work on my dad's bike. (He was getting jealous of not having one)

This is my first 1000 piece puzzle I put together. It is pretty intense. As you can see looks a lot like me.

No Hands

So I decided to go on a bike ride today. And that is exactly what I did. I wanted more than just a little half mile around our circle by my house. Went all out and biked all the 5 miles to my old high school. A very enjoyable ride, only usual traffic. Once I got there I found my track coach. Was my coach during 4 years of track and 3 years of cross country. My favorite person at the school and a great teach. Careful though he bites. I then made a quick workout in the gym and made the trip back, before everyone got out of work.

Mr. Fix It

Not much happening today. Spent most of the day being lazy. But I did find some motivation in the day. At some point I decided to fix some bikes mom had a flat tire and bad chain. So I decided that I would do something nice for her and fix it. So now my mom and I have working bikes that we can ride together on.

Ferrettie/Baugo

Decided to ride my bike 2 miles to the park today. It was a marvelously beautiful day. Great biking weather. I read for close to an hour on a bench that sat upon a huge hill. It was a taxing walk up but worth it.

I brought more than just a book to the park. I came prepared :) Afterwards I practiced my boomerang skills for half an hour in the open fields. I definitely need more practice.

Yum!

Decided to have another fire today. This time was able to cook some marshmallows. They were irresistible. My niece even had to have some and boy did see enjoy them. My mom is the best nana ever!

Cleanse with Flames

Bonfires are one of my favorite pastimes. These flames were special. I decided to burn my clothes that I worked in this summer. I burnt shirts, gloves socks and even pants. I've worked at the same roofing company for 3 summers now and I am finished with them. This was my way of clearing that from my life. And to make sure that I never go back.

I Wash My Hands

After almost 2 months of having my hands look like this everyday after work. It will be no more. I'm tired of work but more, I am sick of being dirty everyday no matter how much I clean. This is what my hands are looking like after approximately 10 washings and 2 showers.
I did manage to get awesomely tan arms and face/neck with working outside everyday. Score one for skin cancer!

Circus

I have always thought the being in a circus would be very interesting. I could be an acrobat possibly tight rope walker. (I do enjoy wearing tights) But alas my juggling skills are mediocre.

Rest

I decided to take the day off. I know that this was my last week, but I felt that I needed it. I spent half the day lounging around, and the other half was spent mowing the lawn and tidying the house. I even needed a nap after my strenuous day. After reading for a bit, I passed out on the hammock.

Knight

Just got out of the theater from Knight and day. Good movie but all the funny parts they put in the previews. So stole the thunder from the comedic side of the movie. But I did go see this movie at 10 O'clock at night and I have a chance that I need to be up for work at 4. So Hopefully it is another Rain day, or I may just not go to work.

Flashback

Not much going on on my day off. Stayed at home alone writing stories. Very exciting. Hopefully they will be appreciated. These are my shoes from the 8th grade. Pretty much had all the guys on the football team sign them. Very vintage. I'm sure very few people remember them.

Dunes

Today I went to the beach with one of my little brothers friends I have adopted as mine. It was pretty much a date with him lol. We went to two different beaches looking for the clay pits, which we never found :( Afterwards I treated him to dinner at Applebees, for giving me company at the beach. This is a view from the tallest moving dune.

Church

I know that it is Saturday but this is the day my rents like to go to church. I was trying to be sneaky while taking the picture so this is the terrible view that I have to show. It was a very interesting service today.

Lunch Part 3

This is the tree I have been eating lunch under in Chesterton, IN. It is very well shaded, but there are tons of ants in the grass. Not a very good place for a picnic.

Mexicans!

These two bad boys are the people I have been carpooling with for the past two weeks. The one in yellow lives in an area in which I am quite scared driving through. I actually saw like 4 people up at 3:30 in the morning walking around. Very shady.

Dirty

My job is very hands on. I also get to play with hot asphalt. These pants are this dirty of 2 days of use. There is even more tar on the sides of my legs.

Rain Day #2

So I have another day off. Rain just is keeping me from making money. I wake up at 4 precede to get ready to leave by 5 and call before I do. And then find out that we are not working. I then spend the entire normal persons day hanging out with Allen P. Konrath. He is the hobbit looking one on the left. Yes, he is very proud of this fact as well.

Rain Day.

I woke up at 4 got ready and called my boss to see if we were working, he said not today. I have tons of energy now and decide to go to my school and have a little run. I ran, count em. Not one, not two, not three, but four miles today. This is the stadium in which I spent 6 years running on the track.

Longing

I sure do wish I was getting close to a different New Carlisle. This one isn't near anyone I want to visit. At least I get to reminisce as I drive for 40 minutes after I see this sign.

Dice games

Drove around South Bend for an hour today trying to find a specific store. Finally found it and bought this book. We are thinking about moving into the Forgotten Realms world. This has some awesome pictures.
