2010 - A New Year with Lots of Possibilities!



One of my New Year's resolutions is to write more frequently on my blog!  It has been an adjustment and I feel that now we are pretty much settled.

Well...almost!


My poor Forrest is resorting to playing his x-box on a dining room chair!

Bantam Sofa - 86"
Here is a picture of the couch that we should be getting in about a month - which will be a great relief!

we got a couple of things when we first got here but the rest will have to wait until we can nail down jobs!







We had to get creative with our storage options since we no longer are owners with a house with a basement.  It is amazing how much stuff you never knew you "needed" until you don't have anywhere to put it!

One of our amazing finds was a grocery delivery service call "Peapod". It's proved to be invaluable due to the fact that we don't live close to any supermarkets.  So to get to a half way decent market we would have to rent a zip car every time we needed food.  Forrest and I saw their truck while they were delivering to someone in the building and a light bulb went off!  Ahaha!!

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Garfield Park Conservatory:





 It was a beautiful place and we can't wait to go back when some of the other plants are in bloom.  These are just a few of the billion pictures I took!

In contrast, these are pictures taken during one of our walks from one of the northern neighborhoods back down to the Loop:




Looking at the dates on these I think I need to fix my camera!  It was taken in January not December!  ARGH! :-)


 So - that's what is going on with us for now - let me know how everyone is doing back in P-town!!

  2. Wow, the place is really coming along. Look at you, Little Miss City-girl :)

    Hey I'm trying to find you on Facebook, I finally joined yesterday. Send me another invitation if you get around to it, I haven't figured out how to search for people yet (yes, I know I'm a dork).
