I am blogging to you from Lincoln Park! I decided that I would get out for a view hours today and enjoy the gorgeous, unusually early spring weather here in Chicago so I grabbed a Starbucks decaf (yeah still staying away from the strong stuff) and headed down to the lake front. It was gorgeous down there and I just sat by the water and got lost in the scenery. Once the coffee (okay, and yes the slice of pumpkin loaf) were finished, I decided to head to Lincoln Park with my magazine. Most will not understand the importance of this act but The Husband will! Since our first trip to The City, I have been in love with Lincoln Park. I have said probably a million times that one day I hoped to be able to live in Chicago, close enough to Lincoln Park that I could take a magazine and go sit in the park and just read. No hurrying to get to our next destination because we were on vacation and had places to go and limited time. This one simple act of sitting in my park, aimlessly flipping through a magazine would mean that I had made dreams come true, no wait, that we had made dreams come true and were living where we truly wanted to be. As I write these words, my eyes become a little teary. Please don’t misunderstand, I miss my family and I miss my friends and I know The Husband feels the same way, but we have made it. We did it.
Okay, now I think it’s time to get back to flipping through this magazine…
