Chicago Anniversary

Lake Michigan, Winter 2007, I begged Lou to go take photos during a great storm I could see from my office.

We have officially been back in Jackson as long as we lived in Chicago.  It really makes it seem like we didn't live there very long.  I can't believe how fast three years have passed.  We both still catch ourselves referencing the move back like it only happened last summer.  

Post Office and Calder Flamingo, a block from our apartment.  Great Farmer's Market in the Summer with the BEST peaches ever.
A lot has happened in our lives since those Chicago years.  I love that we have kept in contact with the friends we made while living there.  Although not many are still living in Chicago and of those that remain, I don't even know if they are forever Chicagoans.  It's such a transient city.

Our 650 SF studio convertible apartment.  I still feel like this space exists, as if I could go visit it.

I come across Chicago pictures in iPhoto all the time and I get all sentimental.  Out of everything the city had to offer, I miss those walks to and from work the most... even the down coat, double stockings, 6'-0" long scarf wrapped, rubber boots sloshing and sunglasses wearing blizzard mornings when my frozen mascara would melt when I walked into 330 N Wabash.  I even miss that.
