Home is Where the Heart Is

Well - we found our new apartment! And we didn't have to look too far. Our friends, Curt and Celeste, just bought a home in the burbs so we are moving into their place. Not their actual apartment but the house. They lived on the lower flat and we are moving into the upper unit.


I am really excited to live in this apartment for several reasons: We are on the second floor and can have the windows open all the time. We also have two garage spots which is a definite plus for us and our vehicle history. Another plus is the location - right off Brady St. which is great because of all of the shops and restaurants. I am happy to head back to the Eastside. We are two blocks away from a lake view and close to everything.

I'm also excited to decorate a new apartment. We have a dining room now so I've been trolling Craig's List for a diamond in the ruff....an ugly dining room set that I can beautify! I'll be sure to do a 'before and after' of the new place. I wish I would have done that in our current apartment - it was quite the transformation!!

Lisa Ling is my hero!


Tomorrow, I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to hear Lisa Ling speak at Marquette. I am so excited to see Ling in person. She is truly one of the most remarkable, determined and unrelenting journalists of our time and her work to tell the stories of persecuted and mistreated women worldwide is beyond admirable. I have been a fan of Ling for several years and her work continues to leave me speechless, humbled and inspired.
