For Real- We're moving!

We are moving to Chicago! Quick history. Last June the law firm, that hired Chris after Graduation, informed us that they wouldn't be able to pick him up in Jan 2011, like we were expecting. As everyone knows the economy stinks! We were extremely disappointed and discouraged. So since that time, Chris had been looking for work in different places and a week before Christmas an awesome Law firm in Chicago made him an offer. This was an amazing Christmas blessing for our family. We are very sad to leave family and beautiful Washington behind, but we are excited to have new adventures in the Land of Lincoln. We are flying out in 1 week. So until then I am going crazy weeding, cleaning, packing, recycling, goodwilling, and craigslisting our stuff. We feel very blessed to have this job opportunity for our family.
