Tyler got back last week from a 4-day business trip to Milwaukee. It was hard being away from each other that long- it was the longest we've been apart since we got married. Melissa stayed with me for two nights and we had a lot of fun, so it wasn't all bad.

Our new place is starting to feel like home. The spare bedroom is still filled with boxes that we haven't been able to motivate ourselves to unpack yet, but we usually just keep the door shut and try to forget it is there.

Our neighbors are a little strange though. The woman that lives above us turns her tv up really loud and likes to fall asleep to it. So, when Tyler and I lay in bed, trying to get to sleep, we get to listen to what she is watching. We joked about buying a universal remote and trying to switch off the tv through the ceiling. Sigh.
Another neighbor likes to stare at us with her huge eyes. Really- she doesn't smile or wave, just looks us right in the eye and stares. And finally, our other neighbors work at a Chinese restaraunt and don't speak much English- but they seem nice. We want to make friends with them so that they will bring us leftover food each night. It hasn't happened yet though.
