Well...we are now officially in Chicago, but I would hardly call us settled in:/ However, before moving up to the windy city we enjoyed some time at the Lake for the fourth of July (where we managed to start a small fire in the neighbor's yard...I guess there was a burn ban for a reason), Four Seasons Nevis, Lake Travis with the fam, Napa and Carmel! Not a bad month, all in all.
We officially moved out of our house on June 30th, but had our stuff picked up by Bekins on the 28th (I will get to them in a minute....words CANNOT describe my
frustration anger). We decided to sleep on a blow up mattress in June thinking it would be fun making memories, but what we did not realize is how handy that mattress would become. Below you can see some pics of moving day and me on our "the mattress" before departing the big D :(
Now to Bekins...apparently we did not choose the most awesome rep to go with, seeing as how she told me she was on muscle relaxers the day she came to quote us for our move (TMI)!!! So, we were supposed to have our stuff no later than Aug. 2nd and then it was Aug. 6th and now it is Aug. 12th! Apparently, the lady never put in our order to be delivered on Aug. 2nd, so in hind sight, the other movers would have probably been better to go with, but what can we do about it now! Needless to say, the blow up mattress posted above has come to be our dear and beloved friend as we are now sleeping on it for the 10th night out of a potential 15 :) With all that said, we are making some great memories! This may sound cheesy, but I have always loved hearing stories and actually living through the stories of how all of my parents were living on love before making something for themselves. I know this is what Matt and I are going through AND I absolutely LOVE that! On to more memories...after driving 14 hours - which was really not that bad - we made it to Chi-town! Even our dogs were great (I know you are thinking it can't be that bad they are just dogs, but if you had this guy breathing down your neck...literally, you may think twice)!! :)
Once arriving to our apartment, 28 floors up, we were exhausted and tired but welcomed to beautiful fireworks from our living room window!
So, for now we are
28 Floors Up and enjoying our summer in Chicago!
XOXO!
