Saying Goodbye to Chicago & Hello to Michigan!

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted anything because we just now got our internet hooked-up. Moving is such a strenuous and tedious process that we are not going to do this for a very long time. We are planning on growing up, raising babies, and growing old in this house! 

Our new address is: 1422 Rosalind Rd SE, East Grand Rapids, MI 49506

We had such a great life in Chicago and had so many wonderful friends that it was really hard to say goodbye. We had a fabulous and very spicy last supper at Udupi Palace with our closest friends (thank you Margaux for organizing) and got to drink out of the boot one last time at the Brahaus. We will cherish all of our wonderful memories and look forward to coming back to visit soon and make new ones! Thanks to all of you who made such a huge impact on our lives and we look forward to all of you visiting soon.

 

Onto our move... it was a little hectic and thank goodness grandma & grandpa johnson were around to help with Sadie and cleaning out the place. We could not have done this without the love and support of our families! Sadie was such a trooper and went along with the flow.

Sadie among all the boxes - the packing portion of our move went great... and we didn't even pack the baby!

Sadie in the nook - we will miss this nook. we spent most of our time here and at one time had 12 people around this table!

Saying goodbye to some of our great friends. We will see you guys soon!

The movers we hired were HORRIBLE and please never use ASAP Vanlines for anything (and pass this along to anyone you know). I won't bore you with the details, but to summarize they broke/scratched our stuff and way overcharged us. Well, at least we got our stuff on time. 

They packed up our things on Sunday and we headed out for Michigan that evening. We closed on our place on Monday and had our stuff on Tuesday. We are still unpacking, but are making great progress. We painted the living room and dining room a taupe/neutral color and that made a huge difference (since the floors and walls were both green).

Goodbye Chicago, we'll see you soon! Thanks for a fabulous 7 years. Onto our next chapter...
