Overheard: In Baker

Them: You're MOVING??????

Us: Yeah, in December.

Them: WHERE???

Us: Back to Chicago, Mount Prospect to be exact.

THEM: WHY????

Us: Partly because it's time for us to go, partly because our family needs us. We want to have the baby closer to family. A perfect housing opportunity opened up for us, and it just seems like the right thing to do.

Them: Nooooooooooooooo.

Us: We appreciate that, but -

Them: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Us: Yeah, we hear that a lot and -

Them: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The plan is to keep it and rent it - just in case we want to come back one day... but any plan can change if the price is right ;-)

Will you keep up the blog?

Probably for a while... a few people have asked me to write about what it's like going from the small rural community back to the 'city'. Then again, can you blog & breast feed at the same time? I don't know what I'll have time for after November!

Don, email me: akoruba@yahoo.com if you're interested in talking more about the house.
