well, i haven't posted for a few days and things have been not full on, but some heavy stuff has been going on. pat's dad passed away early this morning and it was expected to a degree as pat was away all sunday because her dad had a turn for the worse but still, i don't know what she must be feeling, i just want to help as much as i can.
on saturday night i went to navy pier and froze my butt off but it was worth it, i love fireworks! on sunday i ended up working so nothing exciting there. and this week will probaby be consumed with helping pat. this sunday i'm going to great america and there's a new girl arriving and she seems really nice and has great english so i'm excited about meeting her.
i spoke to my parents very early (2am) sunday morning and it's less than 7 weeks before they arrive, i'm VERY excited about that. and the trip away is all expenses paid for me so i'll pay them back by taking them out for dinner a few times here, it allows me to save some more for the november trip.
anyway, that's all for now. hope everyone is well!
