So...it's been a while since I've been on here and I have decided that needs to stop. I've been on the road in Chicago now for almost 4 months (yeah, time flies) and I need to keep this thing updated to sort of keep my friends/family in the loop. I will be doing my best to try and get some pics up here as well so you guys can see what Chicago looks like from my eyes...
It's been a long road, and a tough one at the same time. Being gone just down right stinks. Chicago is wonderful - a town we love very much - but even though living downtown is my dream, being here without my family nullifies all of it. It has been a great weekend though, J and Tay have come to visit - and brought Trinity - so all is well for at least a few days...nice to have them here.
We went to dinner with a friend last night and had a lot of fun. There are so many great places to eat, and venture to down here - never a dull moment. We went to a Thai restaurant that some friends of ours introduced us to over the Christmas Holiday. We love it...and it's only a block away from where our apartment is.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting home permanently again. I'm missing way too much being gone, and it's ridiculously hard being without my wife (aka bestest friend in the whole wide world), and daughter...and maybe my sister in law also...
Oh yeah, by the way...Taylor is going to be in her second play in April. They are doing "A Midsummer Nights Dream" and she got the small part of Puck in the play...and by small part I mean THE LEAD!!!! We are so proud of her and she is working so hard - practice 3 times per week. We are still in shock, but are so excited at the same time. She did so great in her last performance - still a larger role, but not the lead. It was nice of them to recognize how hard she worked and how well she did, by rewarding her with the lead. They actually sent us a note ahead of time telling us how excited they were to cast her in the lead...she is getting way too old, way too fast...
Here are a few pictures of our 'second home.'

you know, it looks big enough for an improptu White Castle: Chicago Edition.
