SPLAT!

So the other day Branson and I were driving (the long road trips seem to never end) and I, as always, was eating some fruit. I LOVE fruit. It's so great to bring during a car ride because it's just ready to be eaten! But then when your done eating it, what do you do with it? I will admit that I am horrible about throwing food out the window. I NEVER throw trash or anything out, just fruit. Is that bad??? I always just think some little birdie or starving animal will finish it off for me. But anywho, I told Branson to throw my pear out the window and, well, the pictures pretty much tell the story...



This may not seem funny to anyone else, but we were DYING! It's not like the window was small or anything. haha. I'll admit, I ate every ounce of that little pear which made it a little flimsy. But still, the window is pretty big and RIGHT next to him. haha Our poor kids...

Settling down in Chi town...

So I decided it was about time I started blogging...hopefully for good this time. I had Aarean make me a blog last summer, but I was just so busy with work and school to really stick with it. Now that I am living in Chicago for the summer (with no car) I figure what better time to become a blogger! Branson is now working for an alarm company called Elite Home Security which is what brought us to Chicago. (32 hour drive, by the way, and we're still goin strong.) We actually aren't living in the city, but are in a little suburb called Bloomingdale. It is so pretty and green here. REALLY humid though. The weather has actually been really weird since we got here. Huge thunder storms that have actually knocked over semi trucks and over 1,000 people are out of power. It's crazy! I'm so not used to this kind of weather, but it's fun to experience something new. Anyways, while Branson is at work all day, I try to keep busy. There is a Meijer right across the street (which is equivalent to a Walmart) and a mall a block or two down the road so I just walk wherever I need to go. I have really enjoyed that and not to mention it's good for me! We didn't bring much with us to Chicago simply because it wouldn't all fit in the car. But we love our first little place together and we couldn't be happier!

I probably could have tidied up a bit before taking pictures, but OH WELL. Obviously it's nothing special but it's all we need for two months here. It feels good to finally settle down after planning a wedding for months and traveling for the past two weeks, and we can't wait for what is in store for us!
