Sweet Home Chicago!


Welcome to our blog!

I wanted to start this blog for a couple of reasons:

1) It's an easy way for our friends and family to keep in touch with us and see what's going on in our lives.
2) Mr. W and I were both born and raised in California, and there are bound to be some changes in Chicago..what better way to chronicle our experiences than in a blog?
3) In the midst of winter on a cold and snowy day when I don't want to go outside, I will need a hobby. Perhaps blogging will be my new hobby?

So a month ago I moved from sunny, Orange County, California to Aurora, Illinois. Okay, so Aurora isn't quite the official "Windy City" - but it still gets pretty windy here!!! Aurora is about 30 minutes west of Chicago and is best known for being the setting of the 90's classic "Wayne's World."

Mr. W has been living here since before our wedding in May. After living apart for many months, we have finally been able to live like a normal married couple!

I have been adapting well (in my opinion) - started my new job, setting up house, and have been maneuvering around town (thank goodness for GPS!) However, I have noticed many differences between CA and IL. I won't go on to laundry list them out here, instead I will include them for future posts.
