Step One: Check. 2 More Celebrations To Go.

So, fun weekend.

I had no work on Friday, which is always a good thing. It was a shame the Cubs lost that day, but since the tail-spinning Brewers gave up a game to the Reds, the magic number decreased to 1. Later on that day, Ryan, Sami, and I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to try and find a wedding gift for Megan. But, we wound up walking around for 20 minutes, finding things we wanted to get for ourselves. To counter this, we went to Best Buy's boring section (where all the fridges and washing machines are) and we got her a George Foreman panini grill. It'd be perfect for her; she can make Chicken Pomodoris any time she wants!

The following day was Megan's wedding out in Clarendon Hills. It was about 10 minutes away from Naperville, so it took about half an hour to get there. The service was short and sweet; it was a Christian service; no communion was had. A huge emphasis was put onto Jesus, and not the couple themselves, which was quite an interesting spin on things.

Anyway, our present was wrapped up in Bob the Builder wrapping paper. We had nothing else! So, since we wanted to show a bit of class, we went to a nearby Walgreens to get decent wrapping paper. All the while, I was glued to the radio, listening to the Cubs pound the Cardinals. Then, it happened. The clinch. I jumped around the parking lot, expressing my elation with everyone else there; I was one happy man. I immediately texted each one of my friends to spread the good news, and to share the joy of the Cubs winning back to back division titles!

The reception was a few hours later. Knowing that it was a Christian wedding, we thought that there wouldn't be an open bar.

SO wrong.

The night was real fun, dancing away to the songs, eating delicious food and drinking awesome stuff, and enjoying the company of my CBC friends. Also, I almost caught Megan's garter, but this kid beat me to it. I suppose I'll be single for a long long time.....hopefully this won't be the case so soon.

Oh, and I just got back home from riding the El for a project in my Chicago History class. I pretty much rode the Brown and Pink lines, both from the end of the line, and through the Loop, taking notes on the people I saw, and what was around me. 3 hours of beautiful insanity, I tell you.

We're a game away from getting home field advantage, we still beat the Cardinals, 5-1 with the majority of our regulars on the bench, and Marquis hit a grand slam a few minutes ago. I feel so.....alive!!

This is going to be a good week. I feel it.
