Oh how things change...

Changes. Brian and my life has been going through a whole lot of changes. The first this is that I will be switching campuses again at work. I am going back to work at the Chicago campus, so I am back to commuting. It is a whole long story of why I am going back, but the main reason is that I am quote "the lowest on the totem pole" and "our campus is overstaffed." It led us into thinking, well.... what about moving to Chicago then? So I don't have a 3 hour commute everyday? WE ARE! We looked at apartments and asked around to everyone we know and we found out one of my coworkers is moving out of this adorable place in Lincoln Square. We went and looked at it and signed the lease. We get our keys May 28th! Here it is!

And along with that we get a view of this from our rooftop! Isn't it awesome?
The apartment is just a one bedroom but it is pretty good sized. It has a fake fireplace with shelves and we can't wait for it. Brian has been interviewing like crazy lately. He is actually at an interview right now and I am anxiously waiting by my phone to hear how it went.

Weight loss... drumroll...

Brian weighed in today and has officially lost the same amount of weight that our dog Potter weighs. Isn't that crazy to think about? He has lost 40 lbs. 40 lbs! Isn't that awesome? He was disappointed by low weight loss the last week or so but he lost 4 lbs this week.

I am a little disappointed in my 1 lb loss this week, especially after my last chance workout last night where my legs almost gave out. I am down 30 lbs. Not too bad, but it is no 40 lbs, that's for sure. Although, I am officially wearing pants from my junior year of college, so that is a good feeling.

Dog training has been going great! Ian (or my bff) is so good. Wednesday night we had both dogs in the living room on leashes all night. At one point, I was laying on the floor with Rudy on one side, Potter on the other and I asked them to shake and they both shook my hands. It was so adorable my head almost exploded.

Ok, I am off to do something more productive. Have a good weekend!

Spring breaking...

Well, I am officially on spring break (one day long spring break, whoohoo!) I also officially have a sinus infection and the meds are making my stomach hurt but my face is feeling better. I got a large punch in the stomach at work yesterday. I found out that in two weeks most likely be transferring back to the Chicago campus. That means I am losing 15 hours of my life a week again, plus I don't think I will be able to have Fridays off anymore. I guess things can only go my way for a little while...

On to happier news, Brian's parents and sister are coming to Illinois tonight!! We can't wait and have lots of fun activities planned. Plus, the weather is beautiful outside.

I will do a 5k race post soon. It went well!

Potter had her first visit with the dog trainer yesterday. It went really well and she walks 500x better on the leash now. And at one point she was walking on a leash next to Rudy. It was pretty awesome. The dog trainer is tall, named Ian and had a red shirt that said "Ian." He is totally magical!! But now he says we have to put Potters food in a bowl by us while we eat and when we are done eating we can give it to her. And she can't jump up on our bed anymore also, which is sad.

Alright, have to clean the bathrooms and enjoy the nice weather before the in-laws get here. Have a good Easter weekend!

P.S. Brian and I both lost two pounds this week. It is a little surprising b/c I missed working out two days and when I did go I didn't work out as hard as normal b/c of my headache.
