Joel McHale Show

The show was a blast last night!  We got to the casino fairly early so we gambled a little.  I basically broke even, but we bought a few beverages, so that put us a little behind... darn slot machines!  As we were hanging around the casino we heard some guys talking about a Bears player that was there, Hunter Hillenmeyer.  So we walked by and saw him playing Craps- Alex was excited!  

We then wondered up to The Venue.  It was actually a pretty nice venue.  It just opened last summer, so still in nice shape.  There was an opening comic Chris... something, he was on The Last Comic Standing.  He was actually really funny!  Then Joel came on and he did his skit for about 90 min. it was cool.  Lots of jokes about the Kardashians, Tyra Banks, and of course his nemesis... Ryan Seacrest! haha They had made an announcement that if you buy a t-shirt you get to do a meet and greet with him, so we bought a t-shirt and waited in line for like 2 hours (ahhh!), and we got to meet him.  He signed my shirt and we took a picture with him.  All and all a good time.  For all you Soup watchers out there I got the shirt that says "Its a Felony!" and he signed it "Its Miley!" haha 

But, here are some pics from the evening: 

So, it has been awhile since our last post!  I'm not really sure where the time has gone.... April has been a pretty busy month for me.  Started off with my Spring Break and my birthday, woo hoo 23! haha Then Easter, parent teacher conferences, Jake and Rox visiting, Brandy's bridal shower, and then it was May!  7 more weeks of school I can hardly contain my excitement!  I honestly didn't know in September if I was going to make it this far... just a few more weeks.  But then, I have signed up to teach 2 weeks of summer school.  I am splitting the time with another kindergarten teacher.  I was having an internal battle with myself over this b/c my summer is short as it is, but its good dinero for 2 weeks of work and only 4 hours each day.  Especially since we will be having a lot of purchases for the "big day" next summer, I figure I need all the $$ I can get!  

Finals are beginning for Alex- so he has been hitting the books!  Today he went to his first Cubs game of the season w/ LBC.  As they were waiting for the other guy they were going to the game with they were hanging outside of Murphy's the bar right by our apt.  And all of a sudden this camera crew walks by and it was Denise Richard's filming her reality show "Denise Richards colon Its Complicated".  They had to sign waivers b/c they will probably be on the show when it comes out.  So make sure you all DVR her show and look for Al.  He is the one w/ the look on his face like, "Who in the world is this lady and why are these people following her w/ cameras?" haha 

Tomorrow we are heading to the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN to see Joel McHale's comedy show.  He is the guy that hosts E's The Soup.  We love that show and watch it every week, so we are really looking forward to it! 

Hope everyone is doing well!
