Life

"Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." One of my favorite quotes from Ferris Bueller. Life has been moving very fast. In exactly one month I will be living in Chicago and managing the Build-A-Bear Workshop store at Navy Pier. Since meeting Adam, I knew I would some day be moving away from quiet Indiana, but I always thought Adam would be the one to initiate the move, not me. I am excited and terrified all at once.

Our apartment is a complete mess right now. Adam is an awesome packer. My opinion on his packing abilites may change when I begin unpacking everything. He is very worried that the movers are going to break everything so he is being VERY careful. I feel really bad for people who don't work in retail. Since he and I both work for stores that receive at least 150 boxes each week we have unlimited access to boxes and packing material. What do people who don't work in retail do?


It is slowly sinking in that I will not no longer be within 30 minutes of my parents. With the exception of about 6 months of my life, I have always been within 30 minutes of my parents home. I don't go to their house every week, but I could if I wanted to. I have been spending some quality time with them recently. My dad and I went to a Notre Dame basketball game together last week and I spent all day yesterday running errands with my mom. I am sure they will enjoy coming to Chicago. There first trip will be May 1st. Mom, Dad, CJ, Adam and I will be going to a Cubs game to celebrate mine and CJ's birthdays.


It still hasn't sunk in that Adam is not making the move to Chicago at the same time as me. I have gotten so used to seeing him everyday. We will see each other on our days off.


I am super excited to see all of my Chicago friends on a more frequent basis. Joe and Jen are just a few blocks away. Brendan and Piper are also close by. Mo is in the burbs, but that won't stop me from seeing her!


Be prepared for lots of random thoughts. I am full of them!

I have a blog!

Here is my blog.......exciting, right????? There are some big changes down the road. I thought this might be the best way to keep everyone updated. Stay tuned!!!!!
