we’re here!
we arrived earlier this week, after a two and a half day road trip that took us through new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, ohio, indiana and illinois. sounds like a lot but it wasn’t bad at all, roughly a 13 hour drive (not attempted all at once, thank goodness!).
we started looking for a place on monday and found an amazing ultra modern apartment that same day, in the river west area, kind wedged between wicker park and the loop/river north. we move in late next week. it all happened faster than i had expected. i’m sure it will take a while to get settled. i’m used to it now.
will possibly post some photos when that eventually happens.
my soul already feels lighter, being back in a big(ger) city. the bustle and movement and diversity are energizing for me.
living in suburbs was difficult; and greenwich, ct is a very tough suburb to get into, no matter which way you slice it. i don’t miss it one iota.

poppy’s THIRD birthday was last friday (august 19th).
we can hardly believe it.
she is the awesomesauce.
favorite activities: reading, painting/drawing, digging in the sandbox, playing with duplos. avid collector of hello kitty stuffed toys. she’s basically a huge hello kitty fan all around. so cute.
it’s been a crazy summer.
bittersweet news:
we’re moving to chicago next month. pete’s office here is closing, and they are moving everyone back to the chicago office.
i’m a little sad to be leaving (the) new york (area), but happy to leave greenwich (not my scene) and i’m kind of looking forward to going back to chicago. it’s a bigger, urban, vibrant city (compared to greenwich!) and i kind of know it already (having lived there 5-6 months in late 2009-2010).
trying to think positive.
