CHICAGO!

It's almost official. I will be moving back to the Midwest sometime in June. And I will make it official when I call to accept the job offer on Monday.

After thinking New York City would be the city I'd end up in for much of my adult life, Chicago never entered into the equation until the past couple of years, and not seriously until the past year. I've come to absolutely love Chicago and especially how affordable it is. Having now lived in North Carolina for a total of nine and a half years, the Tar Heel state is as part of me as Missouri is, and I know I will miss it here, but it's time for this country boy to move on to the big city. We'll see how long I can take the cold.
