The Adventure Begins

All my life I have thought that I would never leave Chicago, I love this town. I hold dear everything Chicago has to offer, from the hot dogs, Cubs games and knowing the perfect spot to view the beautiful skyline. I truly am in love with Chicago. Even the thought of moving to a suburb terrified me. I never wanted a phone number with a 708 or 847 area code, no way! I hated people who said they were from Chicago and when I asked, where, north, south.. they would respond with a suburb of Chicago, Glen Ellyn etc.. that's not Chicago. So it is with a saddened heart that I venture out of my great city to the nemisis of Chicago, the east coast.... where pizza and hotdogs become a heavily debated subject. I will become an east coaster... Officially July 2009 I will be living in Connecticut. My job has relocated there and I have chosen to move my family. This decision was extremely difficult to do, but it was either face unemployment or go where the pay check is, and in this economy, it was a no brainer, my children need to eat. Of course, Danny and I have played in our heads financially how things would work out if I didn't work and he did for a bit.... and it sounded like a dream.. me staying home with my babies, just like I've always wanted.. but then reality kicked in.. there was no way we'd be able to make ends meet. So it's time to suck it up, sacrafice and survive! Connecticut here we come.

So this blog will document our many adventures, so our closest friends and family can keep up with us and know how we're all doing. So with my fantastic supportive husband at my side and my two treasures in our arms, the adventure begins....
