BFN. We are taking the next month or so off as we move across the country and figure out our next step.
Stop #7: wishbone. Still waiting to hear the results of the test. It's never taken this long before. WHY HAVENT THEY CALLED US YET?

#'s 4, 5, and 6 in our goodbye Chicago tour:
M-henrys for breakfast
Indian take-out from Indian garden
Cubs game (tonight! Yay beer and hot dogs)!!!

Boy. Chicagoans sure do eat a lot, huh?

In other news, I have been thinking a lot about how quickly our "waiting for the move" went. Although tww's have sucked a lot these past three months or so, they have taken our mind off of the move and have made the whole relocation-deal easier for us (well for me at least. I haven't exactly asked kb how it's affected her). And similarly, when I have needed my mind to be far away from ttc the most, I have had packing to occupy me. Distractions make life easier sometimes, I guess.

I should pack up my entire house more often

I found an unused target giftcard. Apparently I was saving it for something. I just can't remember what!

One month to go!

On Monday, I finished my contract at the university and now I am a FREE WOMAN (in terms of work that is :))! It feels so good to not be in the clinic anymore! I was so close to punching my boss in the face...about a dozen different times...good thing I didn't! So now, I am only working one part time gig. No more catering, no more statistical consulting, no more clients. From 80 hours to 25 hours a week...all in 24 hours! With the rest of my free time, the wife and I are saying a proper goodbye to Chicago by visiting all of our favorite places and all traditions (regardless of whether they are a favorite or not).

So far we did:
#1 Signature room on the top of the Hancock, followed by the Billy Goat Tavern
#2 Chicago Pride...enough said
#3 The Taste of Chicago

I wonder what #4 will be...

In other news, we most likely found renters. They have passed a credit check and are now reviewing the lease...which we sent them this morning. With any luck, it will be signed and returned, along with the first/last month's rent, tomorrow! Things are starting to wrap up real nicely!

Now if only we can make it through the second week of our tww!
