Saying Goodbye to the Merchandise Mart

Today was our last day in the Merchandise Mart. I’ve been pretty busy with work all week, so the fact that we’re leaving here still… still hasn’t fully sunk in yet. I had to stop working on things at around noon, and finally got around to packing up my desk and all the random things

Lisa, Jake and Tus

Tonight, Jake and Lisa swung by to hang out. Jake joined Liz and I for dinner, and Lisa showed up a bit later to drink some beer and catch up. It’s crazy to think that we’ve only been here at this apartment (together) for a week. It definitely feels like so much longer than that.
