After a day of packing, or telling myself I should be packing when I was procrastinating and doing other things, we met up with Dallas’ Uncle Dee, who is visiting on business from Kauai, and drove out to South Elgin for a family barbecue. It was at Dallas’ Uncle B and Auntie Glenna’s house right on the Fox River. Gorgeous. It was nice to see everyone again and nice to see Dee, since we hadn’t since our last Hawaii trip. Also, Doug & Naoko had a baby, Tommy, about a month ago and we finally got to meet him. You can barely see Heather holding him in these photos. Here’s a better one, if you’d like to take a peek. He looks exactly like Doug.

Last Saturday Nancy and Riley came down and brought some boxes and helped me pack. Riley loved Dallas and was having fun playing with him and hugging him and kissing him. She was only shy for about 5 minutes when she first got to the house. After packing up most of my books, we went to Pizza Metro for some slices of pizza (I’m going to miss that place!) and then went to Wicker Park. We could only stay at the park for a few minutes because it started raining. Nice to see Nancy & Riley again and extra thankful for the boxes and the help packing!

Dallas' Move

This week was a busy week with Dallas finally moving from Boston to Chicago. On top of that Killian and Liz moved into a new place in Wrigleyville this week. It was cool because Dallas & Killian could share a moving truck, but still tiring. Kristin moved in last weekend and I guess it was good to get Dallas & Killian’s moves all over at the same time. I’m happy for everyone.

Yesterday we just relaxed, eating lunch at a bar Greg recommended, Fizz. They had pretty good food. If you don’t consider the bad taste in your mouth from watching the Cubs blow it while you’re eating. Pretty much couch surfed the rest of the afternoon before making a Jewel/Blockbuster run to get ingredients to make dinner, Lemon Chicken with Rice. Ate while watching Matchstick Men.

Today I fly out to New York for work. See ya in a few!

Arriving in Chicago last Sunday, February 29, Jess and I were greeted by my parents, my brother, my two nieces and my friends Nancy and Josh. My landlord showed up shortly after. It was a bit overwhelming at first because I was so stressed out from the move and the traffic and about getting the keys, etc. .. but as soon as things settled down I was so grateful to have everyone there to help me. Also, thanks to my Aunt Sue who, along with my parents, went all out in getting me apartment starters like dish soap and towels and potato chips x 20. Thanks again to everyone for all of your help.
