He's So Vain!

I walked in on him like this. No joke. It went on for a couple of days.

Howdy Strangers

So, it's been forever since we've posted. But in our defense, we've been super busy. Megan has been so swamped at work that she hasn't even had time for her lunchtime Perez Hilton browsing (it's a yummy guilty pleasure, and one she's absolutely not ashamed of), and John's had a cold, meaning he's been dying a slow painful death as if he has suffered a stab wound. Anyway, we promise to be better.
It's been wicked cold here in Chicago. Today it was a whopping 28 degrees and felt like an indian summer. So mostly we haven't been up to much besides trying our best to stay warm. Some friends hosted a Nintendo Wii tennis tournament last weekend, so we'll post a pic or two from that to tide you over.

A Look Back at 2007

2007 has been a big year for us. In trying to decide what to post for New Year's Eve, I considered copying my friend Michelle's great idea, a Top 10 List, but decided I should probably think of something myself. Unfortunately, I am having a creativity block, so I've posted my own version of Michelle's list (Meesh - yours is much more creative and humorous). So, here's our Top 5 of 2007:

5. John learned to play the guitar. He's getting quite good, and I'm considering hiring him out to Potbelly Sandwich Works to play music during the lunch rush.

4. I had my gall bladder out (you laugh, but I feel SO much better).

3. I've made some really awesome friends this year. Moving to a new city can be tough, and it's hard to meet great people when not thrust into traditional social situations (i.e. school), so I'm very thankful for my fun girlfriends.

2. John got the perfect job (finally!)

1. Buying our first home! The move was stressful and it took a long time to get things the way we wanted them, but we absolutely love our new condo!

I wish I could have included "Finally learned how to parallel park," but it just wasn't THAT great of a year. Happy 2008 everyone!

More Merriment...

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Our Christmas was merry for sure, but certainly not little as we had 4 different family celebrations. Lots of presents (John's fave) and even more food. Hope everyone had a good one, and here are some pics of all our celebrations.

Funny!

So, John's mom wanted to find an easier way to get out a Christmas card this year. She stumbled upon some Web site that let you create your own animated card. I've posted the URLs below -- I have to say, I'm impressed with my own moves.

Elf Dance One

Elf Dance Two

P.S. You must have Flash to see the e-cards.

Leather

Today is our third anniversary, and guess what the traditional gift is: leather. Could be worse, I suppose - who ever heard of getting your spouse paper for your anniversary? Anyway, I can't believe it's been three years! They've gone so quickly! It's amazing how time flies when you're out of school and part of the daily grind. I'm not sure what we're going to do to celebrate this occasion, nor do I know what I'm going to get John (leather wallet, perhaps?). But I do know that it's been a long (and fun) road, and I can't imagine traveling it with anyone else.
