back in late may we decided to buy a house in the suburb of schaumburg, illinois (about 25 miles outside of chicago). this decision came after many months of discussing the next step for our family. we took time in early spring to tour some suburbs and decide on one we'd eventually like to live in. after a few months we decided upon schaumburg. schaumburg is where eric's dad and step-mom live as well as his sister and her family. this location also allows us to be much closer to eric's mom and step-dad and his brother's family too. so, we put our condo on the market in early may and even though our condo hadn't sold, we found a new home a few short weeks later. now, we just need our condo to sell!
we are set to close on our new home on july 22nd, but we'll be busy the next couple of weekends visiting my family in georgia and then we move! so, this was technically our last official weekend in the city. it was a special one because it included a visit to our favorite summer breakfast spot, julius meinl, as well as 4th of july fireworks on our rooftop deck. both of which are chicago traditions for our little family that we'll dearly miss. not to mention all of our friends that we've made over the 11 (me) and 14 (eric) years that we've lived in the city. we're excited for the next chapter but also sad to say goodbye to the end of our time in the city. this is the place where we met, fell in love, got married, experienced young married life, and then brought our first child into the world. we have so much to be grateful for to the city of chicago. but we are looking forward to having the extra space, a yard for luke to play in, free parking, and being closer to family. thank you, chicago, for the wonderful memories!
last time at our favorite summer breakfast spot. we started making this a tradition last summer when luke was a baby. it just kind of stuck!
