You don't need new pants, you just need pants, and the party's in New York, so you may not even need pants.

Last night Jeremy and I went up the the Chalk the Block festival at Riverwoods.  They sell parking spots to artists to earn money for a charity, and the artists have about 24 hours to create a masterpiece in the parking spot using chalk.  There were some amazing drawings!  Here are a few pictures I took:

I just had a Moonpie and a Ding-Dong, and washed it down with and Orange Crush in the cafeteria, I have no desire for anything nutritional.

I have officially had my first bridal shower.  My sweet roommate Bre, with the help of my other roommates, threw me the best little bash ever.  It was so fun to see everyone; my mom even came up for it!  I still can't believe how spoiled I was that night.  It was like having a birthday party when you are 5 and everyone brings you the best gifts ever!  Here are some pictures from that fun night:

 My dad's side of the family: Grandma, Aunt Kim, Aunt Lis, and my cousin Camille


 My mom's side of the family: Aunt Angie, Aunt Libby, grandma, and my mom


 My roommates: Kenze, Bre, Whitney, and former roommate Tina


 My future sisters-in-law: Brittany and Kristine with cute Emma


 Former roommate Marian


 Erica and Emily


Neighborhood friends: Whitney, Rachel, Mikell, Lisa, Lizzie, Kaylene, Bre, and Morgan

Time is pressing. I have a ten pound salami sitting out in the van.

The wedding plans are coming along.  The announcements have been sent to the printer, engagements and bridals have been taken, the guest book has been ordered and is in the processes of being created, and much more.  The most exciting event that has happened as of late (for Jeremy and I, that is), is that we now have a place to live!  We are really excited about our new place.  It is 3 bed, 2 bath, and it is in a great location.  When we finally start getting things moved in I will take some pictures for you.  In the meantime, here are some engagement pictures taken by Heidi Brinkerhoff:
