Windy City Update

Hi friends! Greetings from the Windy City. It has been a busy few weeks as we have been settling in to our new home. We are still busy emptying boxes and getting our condo organized so a longer post will be coming as soon as we are a little more settled. For now, here are some highlights of our new city!

1. Week One - We lived in our condo with only an air mattress and two camping chairs. Not to mention it was the coldest week of winter that Chicago has had thus far. I can honestly say that -25 degree windchill is painful! 

2. Week One Highlight....Deep Dish Pizza...seriously, there is nothing better in the realm of pizza.

3. The Moving Truck Arrives - One week after we arrived, our stuff finally got here! I had been so happy to see my couch and most importantly my bed! We are currently trying to organize and find a home for all our stuff. 

4. Michael's Job - Michael started his new job the day after we got here. He is enjoying this new position and all the great people he is working with.

5. Church -Park Community Church has already been a huge blessing! We have joined the Lincoln Park Campus and look forward to starting a new small group in the next few weeks. We have met many sweet people and we are excited to begin new friendships.

6. Our Neighborhood - Our condo building is in a great location. The grocery store is just around the corner and we have a couple of great restaurants just down the block. The city definitely has its perks! Our condo is on the 5th floor and we have already met many of our neighbors and look forward to cultivating relationships with them. 

Those are the highlights for now. I'll be back soon with more details and info once we are a little more settled. For now, I am off to organize and hopefully hang a picture or two. Let me know if you have any specific questions about our new journey. I'm happy to share! Love to you all from the Windy City!
