This morning I realized that today is exactly one year since Anthony and I jumped on a plane to the windy city. We decided to take a vacation to Chicago to see if maybe this was the place for us. We had created a list of cities we would be willing to move to when Anthony got his Masters and Chicago was the one place we hadn't been. I was so excited but I honestly didn't know if I would love Chicago. I instantly fell in love with everything about the city. It was clean, laid back but still the metropolitan area I was looking to live in. Not to mention the theatre here is amazing. That vacation literally changed my life. Less than 8 months later the boy and I packed up our lives and moved them to the Midwest. Since moving here I have been a part of two shows and my third one starts at the end of July. I have acted in student films and I've been nannying for several families. This blog started because of my desire to move here, hence the name. I have been living here for 4 months now and I cannot wait to share more stories about my journey in Chicagoland.
