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!

That's so awesome, Amy! Don't be disheartened. :)
Love the story about the dogs shaking your hands. You need to meet Zooey. I think you'd like her. :)
p.s. - In an effort to keep Zooey from escaping through the porch, we grabbed a bunch of logs from behind the garage and set them up as blockades...
WOW! You guys are awesome. I'm proud of you. Post some pictures ;)
