First of all, John got an amazing promotion and the perfect opportunity to advance his career. I'm so ridiculously proud of him...at all times. However, I wasn't sure how to feel about it after he told me to pack my bags because he was moving us to - ARKANSAS. So what's a girl to do? Eat and drink everything in Chicago for the next month!
Stuffed, exhausted and 5lbs heavier, our last weekend came upon us fast. Jude and I had been living in an empty condo (except for an air mattress and pack-n-play) for 2 weeks while daddy was transitioning to Bentonville and I was finishing up my final days at FHN. Daddy came home to help pack up the car and we had some last minute visitors.
Not only did our friends stop by to say their goodbyes...Neil, Sidney, Nick, Brigid and Tyler D, Michelle, Peter and Bella...but so did Aunt Vanessa, Grandma Teresa and Great Grandma & Grandpa Menk. Take a peak at all we crammed into 2 days. Thank you for all the well wishes and wonderful goodbyes. We'll miss you Chicago!
We're ready for our last breakfast at Palace Grill. Look at my awesome outfit from Gpa and ma Menk!
Grandma Teresa! Look at me at the Firehouse. I'm going to miss Freckles.
Last time in my Chicago bathtub. Where did I put my cup? Grandma...they'll never find us in the closet.
Last time at LP Zoo. Fly me through the water Daddy!
Look what I can do. Pretty cool...told ya I could do it. High Five Grandpa!
It's been a great ride!
Updates on our moving adventure to follow...once I get the hang of uploading pictures and when we're not in the pool:)
You don't know me but i've been following your blog for well over a year now. Your little man is just a week or 2 older than my princess. I hope you enjoy your new life in Arkansas...they have lots of SAS:)! I know you will miss Chicago...how could you not? (My oldest bro lives in Glenview...lived in the city for many years before kids). I'm sure it will be a touch transition, but you will learn to adjust quickly and make it your new home. As you both would say...all you need is love. Good luck!
