Catch Up!

Life in the fast lane....not only a song but, a good description of our lives the last few weeks. Since our last posting we have been following the Georgetown Softball team on the road every weekend. The Hoyas have had some great moments and some not so great moments but, what a pleasure it has been for us to be involved in Mackensey's college softball experience!

I have joined Clyde in Chicago! We are in a small apartment in Oak Park, an urban-like suburb of Chicago. We are within walking distance of some cute shops, restaurants, post office, bank, small-town movie theater, a park, and a beautiful historic neighborhood. I wake up every morning and take Marty and Sweetie, our two wheaten terriers out for a 45 minute walk. All three of us are in much better shape than 3 or 4 weeks ago. Clyde is up early as well and off to Downers Grove, about 45-60 minutes from our home, for a busy day at the office. His job has been very challenging and he looks forward to implementing more of his management style at the corporate office. He is an amazing man with the ability to thrive in a new environment, even with a high amount of stress involved. I am very proud of him. I have also spent several hours in Brighton Park, which is the location of Heath and Thais' new home. We have had lunch together, dinner in their home, spent the day chilling, and planned and prepared a meal for the GU softball team. It is so nice to be 30 minutes from each other after living in different states for so long. We look forward to sharing our lives with them and enjoying our new city....we have own personal guides to Chicago!

I will be returning to Massachusetts next week to wrap up the final steps of our move to Chicago. Mackensey and I will be returning to Chicago permanently the second week of June. I will post some pictures very soon of our temporary home in Oak Park.
