Hey everyone,
Stephen and Mal's wedding was a blast. I pity the fools who didn't go.

EIU bomb scare?
Poli sent me this over AOL news.
WHAT THE?!?
College Application Causes Bomb Scare

Emergency crews evacuated an Eastern Illinois University building Friday, after a campus postal carrier discovered a disheveled-looking package heading for the college's admissions office.
"There was no return address, it was poorly written, poorly addressed to the university, there were misspellings," school spokeswoman Vicki Woodard.
The stuffed-and-stained envelope was strange enough that police alerted the bomb squad. Explosives investigators X-rayed the package and blocked off a nearby street before they discovered the envelope contained only an application to the 12,500-student school.
Why does this not surprise me? And who would want to bomb EIU?

Congrats, Grizzly!
I'm so happy for you. :)
I am in the process of scanning for new jobs too. No big hurry though I guess. I don't even know what I want to do specifically.
I hope that Mal got my RSVP, I remember filling it out but can't remember whether I mailed it. I also need to reserve a hotel room like ASAP probably.
In other news, I felt creative tonight so I'm moving my personal blog over to blogspot. It's appropriately named http://onetoomanyblogs.blogspot.com
I also am working on a real project, which is a blog about St. Louis- things to do there, reviews, news commentary, etc. I always tell people why it's so great but this should spell it out a little better.

My Facebook and MySpace will be updated with the blogs I will actually be using from here on out. :)
This one included.

I quit
I quit my job in Mattoon last week.
Luckily, it was because I got a job offer from the Herald & Review in Decatur to join their photo staff. I miss shooting. A lot... so it was a no-brainer.
I start there next Wednesday.
Between the new job, packing up all of my stuff, throwing out all of my college boy things to move into a married boy and girl apartment and finalizing all of the wedding plans things have been pretty hectic.
That's about it. I'll update more once the job gets into full swing.

Update
Coming up on one year with The Telegraph.
I have been out of school for more than a year now, and I'm still adjusting to some things. I'm not used to being in one place constantly, and my one year marks one year of being at home with no changes in the forseeable future.
I always liked having something to count down to.
3 more weeks until I come home from Rock Island...
1 month before Christmas vacation...
2 years until graduation...
stuff like that.
Now its
one month until..
oh wait, I'll be doing the same thing in a month, possibly for a lot longer than that. I'll be in the same place with the same people and nothing seems like its going to change.
I guess what I am trying to say is I'm getting comfortable, but comfort is feeling more like boredom at the moment.
