Especially the things that I assume people do the same everywhere that it turns out only Chicago people do. And I KNOW I’ll miss being in the city as the Cubs continue in the playoffs!

Especially since I get anxious about the IDEA of things moreso than the actual thing itself, if that makes sense. It will definitely be interesting to see what I actually end up missing about Chicago, but I’m sure it’s going to end up being quite a long list.

With both of your families being out here, you’ll definitely come back, and “see you laters” are SO much easier than “goodbyes,” in my opinion! Good luck with the move! I can only imagine what kind of logistical nightmare coordinating a cross-country move must be…I had a hard enough time getting myself organized to move 1.5 miles from one neighborhood to another last year, and that was just me and my things, not a whole family!

It is one of my favorite cities that I’ve visited and I cannot wait to return! It is a young, vibrant, edgy city with lots of outdoor activities. I now understand why people rave about it. Best of luck with your move!
