We are Moving to Elmhurst!!!!!

We are happy to announce that we are officially moving! To make a long story short tuesday, February 2nd we put an offer on a home in Elmhurst. That same week on Saturday, February 6th we got an offer on our place! The timing was not a coincidence! We just finished the attorney review on both places this week, so everything is signed and official! We close on the home in Elmhurst on March 19th, and then close on the condo in Chicago on March 31st. Which means we are moving on March 20th! That is 3 weeks away, so I need to start packing! There is a lot to be done before then! We have furniture and storage in two different cities, which means we have to do two moves on the same day! Thank goodness my parents have offered to help with Maddie! It will be crazy, but I say bring on the craziness cause I am just excited!! I kinda of thrive on being super busy!
The town of Elmhurst, which I can walk to from our house:o)
York Movie Theater
We are so excited to move to Elmhurst and raise our children there. It is such a cute town, with lots of great restaurants, great schools, little shops, starbucks, a movie theater, and just a wonderful community!!! We were so happy to find a house that we love and can grow into that is also close to town. Bob is going to be able to walk to the train which is an 8 minute walk. The train from Elmhurst to downtown is 30 minutes-not bad at all! I am excited to be able to walk to the park, pool and town! No better time to move then right before the weather starts to get warm! I am also excited for Maddie to have a swing set in the back yard. She loves to swing, and there is a baby swing she can enjoy:o) Plus all the young neighborhood kids that are surrounding us. Many which are Maddie's age.

We have a lot of family in the surrounding areas, and my aunt, uncle and cousins live in Elmhurst. My grandparents live in Lombard as well which is the next town over. It will be so great to be near more family! I am also excited to be closer to my dear friend Jess. We have known each other since diapers, and I am so thankful for our friendship, and excited to do more things as couples as well! Such fun times ahead...:o)

It is still a bit surreal that we are actually leaving the city after living here for so long, but we are ready. We will miss some things about the city, and close friends, but we are only 30 minutes away. It's not like we are moving across the country:o) So I hope people will come visit us and stay over night!!! You are ALL welcome anytime!!!

I also just found out today there were 3 other offers waiting to be submitted! Thankfully our financing was all approved today, which was our deadline, so IT IS COMPLETELY OFFICIAL!!!! We will toast to a BIG CELEBRATION TONIGHT:o)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!
