Well, we both made it. Luke left a few weeks earlier than I did because he had to start work, and I stayed behind waiting on an offer to come in on the house...which never did come...so I finally decided to surprise Luke and arrive a week earlier than planned. I showed up Thursday night and it was fun to see the surprise on my little bored bachelor's face.
We've been having a lot of fun here in the last few days. Friday we explored the area together and Saturday morning we got up early and went rollerblading through the trails at the local state park. The park has about 10 miles of paved trails winding along the river, and it is really serene and pretty. I'm getting a little better and the stopping thing...but I did take one crash down a little hill. (Note to self: ski-like traverses do not slow you down on rollerblades...it just makes you out of control and going really fast.) No injuries, besides my pride though...
Watching to see if I make it in one piece down the stairs with my rollerblades on:

On Saturday, we also made a trip up to Chicago and saw a White Sox game. There was a group going from Luke's work, so we decided it would be fun to see a game. It was pretty darn cold and rainy, but we had a good time and our streak is still alive...So far the home team has always won whenever we are in attendance. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
