March 2010

Hey Folks,

Okay, so a few things have changed...not surprising, I know. We continued our stay in Chicago through March. Then Thurston and I came to Colorado and Jason went to Germany to finish brew school. So, we are missing Jason, but Thurston is staying busy by wearing Grandma & Grandpa out and I've been busy with interviews and apartment hunting.

In March Chicago stopped abusing us with weather so we were able to peel off our down coats and check out some of the local parks. We hope to make it back during the summer as it is a great city.... minus the ridiculous winter temperatures. We will definitely miss the public transportation and of course, the pizza. I'm not sure Jason could have kept up his pizza consumption. However, I'm not going to challenge him because that sounds like one he would gladly take on.
We will keep you updated on our new life in Colorado!! We are excited to get to know Denver and hang out with awesome friends and family.

I hope everyone is having a great start to Spring!
Christie

Chicago 2010!!!

Hello, again,

I know, I know. I didn't give you a full month break. I'm uploading a week or so too early. To be honest, our camera was full and we needed to dump these pictures somewhere. :)

We made a pit stop in Colorado on our way out to Chicago. We saw some friends, hung out with family and dumped a bunch of junk at Jason's parents' house. Thanks, again, Jim & Jo.

We've had an awesome time in Chicago. Jason's been super busy at school. He's adjusted very well considering he hasn't had to report to an office, much less a classroom, for the past 10 years. Thurston and I started out strong in our quest to conquer Chicago. However, 3 days into our adventure Chicago experienced their 10 largest snow ever. So, Chicago showed it wasn't going to be easily conquered....we may do a little more conquering in March. :)

We've already had visitors! Christi, Rich, and Tesa came out from Cincinnati this weekend. Our friend Kelly is coming next week, so stay tuned...

Stay warm,
Christie

PS - Jason started a separate blog about his school experience if you're interested. zumbrew.blogspot.com

February 2010 - Chicago!

December 2009 & January 2010

Well Folks, it's official. We are no longer Californians and although we are very excited for our upcoming adventure, we made some AMAZING friends over our 10 years in California that we will miss unbelievably. We really hope to see many of you in the very near future and we want you all to know that you are always welcome to visit. Once we are back from Chicago, we will be homeless...so you may want to give us a bit to find a place as our tent only sleeps 3. :)

Here are some photos of our last days in California. We made a couple trips to Disneyland and made sure to see as many of the radical people we will miss!! Unfortunately not everyone made the photos, but you all know who you are!! Take care and you'll hear from us soon...like it or not!

We love you all,
Christie, Jason and Mr. Thurston

PS - Thurston has also been inviting people to come to Chicago with us...so feel free.
