I asked Arnie to bring me a good book to read since I gave all of mine away when I moved. He brought me 'The Long Goodbye' by Raymond Chandler. A story about a lonely private detective in L.A. trying to find the truth about the murder of a friend.

And segway....

Part of the reason I moved to Boston was to find out if Chicago was the right place for me. I told everyone in Chicago I only planned on staying a year but in the back of my mind I thought, maybe it will be more. If I end up falling in love with Boston I would stay.

In these six months I have fallen in love with Boston but I’ve fallen even more in love with Chicago. I didn't know it could happen but it did; like a parent learning they can love their second child as much as the first.

And in the end I am happier with the life I have in Chicago soooo....

Wait for it...

I'm moving back. Or rather, I'm moving home. A home that this time around, I choose.

This will be a short goodbye. I'll be moving in two weeks.

Chicago to Boston to Chicago.
