So excited to be moving to........

As most of you know Chris installs security systems for Apx Alarm. Last summer was our first time doing it and the money was worth it to head out again this summer. Plus, Chris has started school again so it works perfectly! Last summer was the loooong drive to Connecticut...thankfully this summer isn't quite as long....CHICAGO, ILLINOIS!! It's so funny, we had no idea our sales manager was thinking of there - and last night Chris and I were talking about Chicago and how Oprah is there and it would be cool to go on the show:) etc...so when we found out today that that's where we're going, we thought it was pretty sweet.
Here's a few stats:
~3rd most populous city in America with over 2.8 million residents.
~O'Hare International is the second busiest airport in the world.
~38.9% White (30.9% non-Hispanic-White)
35.6% Black or African American
0.5% American Indian and Alaska Native
5.3% Asian
0.1% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander
21.3% some other race
~ Summers are their rainiest season, making it warm and humid.

Hey Mindy, that's so exciting that you guys are going to Chicago!! We're going to Little Rock, AR and I have no idea what to expect! By the way, I love to read your blog and I did notice that you've made many a cute bow for Addy! You're right about it being addicting--I just want one to match every outfit :o)

Good Luck you guys! You're going to love it. Jason is from Chicago and it's so fun to visit. You'll love Chicago style pizza, you'll never want anything else again! I hope it's a wonderful experience for you.

p.s. Cali and I were really good friends growing up in Oregon. I was at Carrie's wedding! She's the best huh!?
