relocation.

Posted on by

I know the updates have been sporadic lately, but I just had to stop in and share the good news:

WE ARE RELOCATING TO CHICAGO!

After YEARS of wanting to go, trying to go, planning to go, almost going — We have FINALLY managed to actually make it happen!

My partner and I signed a lease on a DREAM apartment right in 6 corners in Bucktown/Wicker Park. We’ve got nearly our entire house packed and ready to go. We have an appointment to pick-up our truck tomorrow, and we’re going to load up throughout the night so we can leave in the morning …

It’s really happening.

No joke.

We’re moving to Chicago …

Looking for more?

    Oh that’s so awesome!!! YAY! I’ve wanted to visit Chicago for awhile! What will you be doing when you get there?

      Unfortunately, I will only get to enjoy the dream apartment for a short while. I am set to deploy to Afghanistan soon. 

      However, my partner will be working as a nurse! She’s currently in the application process for her Illinois Nursing License. She’s got years in the industry, but even with all that experience, Illinois’ system is still an effin’ NIGHTMARE!

        Oh! So you’re going to the middle east! :[ How long will you be gone?

        I can only imagine! A family friend worked in the medical industry back in WA but when she moved here, she had to go through the entire application process and background check. It takes like a month or something to get through the whole thing! o.O

          Yeah, the whole process has been absolutely horrifying, really. 

          I am indeed headed on overseas. I’ll be gone for 12 months total. Not so bad. Goes by in the blink of an eye :D

          Before you know it, I’ll be back and blogging with a vengeance!
