Well, against all odds we made it out of the city in time! Although it was an extremely mad dash, Jake and I successfully moved all of our stuff to New Lenox this afternoon! 👏🏻 Unpacking it all however... is going to be a totally different story 😶
As each day passes, the journey feels more and more real. Now that we're starting to settle in New Lenox, things are feeling especially real. Last weekend was our final party at the apartment in Logan Square, where we celebrated our house cooling/Bon Voyage (pics below!). Thanks for everyone who was able to make it :) We're still planning on one final brunch in the city with some close friends before we leave, so we're not saying goodbye to Chicago quite yet!
If you're wondering why we're even in New Lenox, it's because the lease for our apartment was up at the end of April! When we originally concocted the idea for the journey, we planned on actually leaving at the end of April/the beginning of May. This plan changed after starting my job at the elementary school in December. We both agreed it would make a lot more sense to just wait until the school year finishes out at the end of May (last day is May 29th! 🥳). So we'll be staying at Nanny's house with her and my mom until we depart on the 31st.
These upcoming weeks will be the roughest, trying to pack and figure out what we can fit in the car, organizing everything and trying to consolidate. Wish us luck!
