The Countdown Came and Went

So I started a blog post about my last week in Chicago, and guess what?  It didn't get finished.  There were several things that didn't get done/accomplished/finished in my last several days there, and that's okay.  We still own our condo there, so I'm sure we'll be back to see friends and the most expensive thing we own.

There will be some things I definitely miss about Chicago - probably the take out options, cabs, and most of all our friends, but I'm so excited about our new adventure in Portland.  Eric has been here for a while now, and he was most excited to see his stuff/clothes and sleep in his own bed again.  It has been weird for me because I don't think I've processed it yet.  The drive out here was awesome, but it felt like a vacation.  (I'm going to put together the photos soon of our trip).  We have been working like busy bees, plus actually working at my job so I'm dying to get out and explore.  And with the exploring, I am going to start a new blog about our life here.  Technically we're not on Kenmore Ave anymore, so check back for the new URL address coming soon.


Meanwhile, we're in unpacking hell.  The beautiful thing about relocation moves is the moving guys come in and pack everything.  Talk about being pampered - hells yea.  The flip side to that is a big box is overflowing with packing paper to only reveil one item.  Usually something small, something we didn't care about, meanwhile we can't find underwear or shoes, which one would think would be in the master bedroom boxes.  Oh well.  We definitely are not the "greenest" new couple to the greenest city in America.  We will work on that. 
 
 
We're Portlanders now... bye Chicago and Kenmore Ave.
 
 
 

 
 

Old Kitchen, New Kitchen

So we decided to redo the kitchen that has been the bane of our existence for the past 5 years RIGHT WHEN Eric started interviewing for his new job in Portland.  We changed the green countertops, green backsplash and white floor.  Of course we love it and now we're moving.  I particularly love the marble subway tile backsplash.  I want to snuggle with it actually.
