Greetings from the most amazing city in the world!
First, we want to thank everyone who came to our fabulous goodbye party last Friday! It was so special to see all of our friends and family and to feel so supported and loved.
We made it... finally. Jen and I hauled the couple of suitcases we have been living out of for the last week to the airport along with Puss in the kitty carrier. We were pretty nervous about putting Puss under the plane because of all of the horror stories we had heard - but he was just fine. We grabbed him on the other end and couldn't wait to get to our new place!
A beautiful, big haired Italian woman met us in the lobby wearing a tight black Juicy jump suit waving papers in the air. It was Natalie, our new landlord. She is fantastic, in her early 40's, single and an attorney. She also lives in the building and is having us over for drinks next week!
We found out that our stuff is arriving on Sunday (thank goodness), so we stayed our first night with our amazing friends down the street. Jen had an interview (Go Jen!) at 10:30 yesterday which lasted for two hours... she better get the job. I cruised around the city and took in Michigan Avenue. Holy shopping. I was in love. It was one perfect shop after the next... I ended up at Macys looking for shower curtains and a serious down comforter. We were loaded down with stuff and expereinced our first walk across town with our arms full! I totally missed having a car.
Last night we went to Wrigleyville for the first post season Cubs game! We had heard that Cubs fans were intense... but we had no idea. People are packed around every crack in the stadium trying to get a glimpse of the game. There are crowds of people peering into apartment windows on the sidewalk trying to watch the game... police officers are everywhere and everyone roars when the baseball team scores a run! We found a bar and met 5 new best friends in ten minutes. Everyone is so friendly... We actually met two girls who we loved! Kelsey and Brianne took us to a few more places last night to show us around and introduce us to some of their friends. It was such a fun night!
We're off to Target (four buses later) to buy a blow up mattress and some paint.
As soon as we can find the cords for our cameras, we'll put some pictures on here!
Stay tuned...
LOVE,
Allison and Jen

Congrats, congrats, congrats!! I'm so glad that you made it to your new home safe and sound. Good luck and be sure to keep blogging! I need to live vicariously through the two of you, because now that I own a condo here I am married to Seattle and can never leave. ;-)
Girls! I ended up having to move the day of your goodbye party so I never made it! But I'm glad to see everything is going well, keep posting your adventures...so jealous! Love you both :)
So glad you lovely ladies made it safe and sound! Don't forget to call Joan Oliver - she's waiting!
