Congrats X 3!!!!
First of all, congrats to my hubby, Kurt! He got two GREAT offers for a new job in Chicago and he decided to go with "Job #1". It will be a great opportunity for him and he will be learning SOOOO much! We were just discussing his salary the other night - it will be 55% more than what he makes here, and there's the potential to double that in just a few years. CRAZY! He's really excited, and as can be expected, pretty nervous. BUT, they said some pretty great things about him - they have been searching for someone for 5 months (and have interviewed 25 candidates) and that he's the first one that they have offered the job to! And they recruit the same people that Microsoft and Google go after. WOW!
Congrats #2 goes out to my friend Sean and his wife Abbey on the birth of their 3rd child - a baby girl named Rosalie at 8lb. 14oz.! Woohoo!!! They now have a VERY full house ;o)
Congrats #3 goes to Kurt and me! Happy 3rd anniversary to us! My how time flies! It doesn't really seem like 3 years...but it is! In honor of our special day, we'll be eating fillet mignon at Hyde Park tonight! YUM!
OK...I suppose I should get back to packing...sigh. Only 10 days until we move. In this case, time is flying TOO fast!

Update and The "list"...
Update on Job #2...
He got another offer today! They were aware of all of the specifics of his last offer, so they were able to offer even more! Decisions, Decisions - I don't know how he will decide! But I can imagine it's pretty nice to have people competing over you ;o) Congrats again to my smartie of a hubby! Of all the deserving people, he's the most deserving - he never thinks he's smart enough to get the jobs...but he always does! Such a humble guy. Since he doesn't brag for himself, I'll do the bragging for him ;o)
We're going out to celebrate all of his offers tonight at a great restaurant we love called "The Rossi." They have this amazing chicken dish where they put wild mushrooms right below the skin and roast it. It comes with fingerling potatoes, multi-colored green beans, and two different coulis. And they make the BEST Yukon Gold French Fries with a lemon-garlic aioli. I'm getting hungry already ;o)
So...we've made a mental list of places we're planning to eat at before we leave. Because, with us, food is life! (Of course, it comes second to music or a good concert ;o)
We knocked two off this past weekend - we went to our favorite "Der Dutchman" - they have the best mac and cheese and chicken noodles and any other "Amish" food you can think of.
Then, Saturday night we went to a fancy new restaurant in town called "Rosendales." It's THE place to be, from what I've read. BUT, we found the food to be uber-pretentious, the environment loud and cold (literally), and the wait staff a bit snooty. I had a short-rib appetizer (which was mediocre) and a very good pear and endive salad. Kurt had some mix of seafood, which he said was good, but not worth the price.
HA - we ended up getting stuck next to some overly chatty and VERY loud, slightly tipsy women. Not a pleasant experience, considering we heard everything about her wedding (which happened too many years ago for anyone to care) and how her husband loves hotels. THEN, her husband came. Let's just say they were two of a kind and leave it at that.
But, we've got a few more places to scratch off the list before we leave - we better get going. Only 16 more days until we move!
We're going to Hyde Park next Tuesday for our 3rd anniversary, so that's another one off of the list.
OK...I'm sure absolutely no one cares about my rantings or food list...so I'm going to sign off.

Long weekend...but a good one!
'Ello.
We just CAN'T seem to stay away from Chicago ;o) We made another trip this past Thursday-Saturday for Kurt to interview at several businesses. That's the 3rd time in the month of May! Every other weekend...sigh. And what made it crazier this weekend was the lack of sleep ;o) We left Thursday after work and didn't get to our hotel until 1am Friday morning. THEN, we left Chicago to come home Friday night at 10:30pm. We didn't end up getting home until 5am Saturday morning.
Needless to say, our sleep STILL isn't back to normal.
BUT, Kurt had two great interviews and walked away with one job offer already and hopefully another to come in the next few days.
The offer he got on Friday was really REALLY good - it will be a stressful job managing software and databases in the stock trading industry, but the environment sounds great, the financial opportunity is pretty amazing, and it will help him to grow even more. AND, they typically hire M.I.T. or Berkley grads (the two most prestigious comp. science schools), which says a lot about Kurt ;o) Congrats to my hubby!
So, while Kurt was getting grilled in the tech. interviews, I had a nice time exploring the Magnificent Mile. I visited the great Museum of Contemporary Art (#1) and walked down Michigan. I had lunch at The Grand Lux Cafe (#2), which was superb. Then I rode the train a bit and visited the main branch of the Chicago Public Library.
So...when we got back Saturday morning at 5am, we went right to bed and slept until 11:00. Got up, went to eat and do some shopping, then came back and took a nap (like a bunch of old farts, we are ;o). We were so beat, and we wanted to get sleep for Saturday night.
Saturday night was our last "Gallery Hop" in the Short North (the arts district of Columbus). We're very sad :o( It's a great event the first Saturday of the Month where all of the stores and galleries in the Short North stay open until11pm and have their exhibit openings. We had a great time (even though we were pretty tired) walking around. AND we got to see the new lights on the arches! Long time coming...
And finally, last night, we went to a great concert at Little Brother's. Unfortunately, this fabulous club is closing due to a huge hike in their rent (stupid landlords). SO, the GREATEST club in Central Ohio is no more at the end of the month. Sniff Sniff. We got to see Miranda Sound (great local band) AND it was free because they were recording a live album. Very cool.
OK...that's enough for tonight. We have to get some dinner, pick up my new glasses (woohoo) and then I have to practice piano. I'm playing for Kindergarten graduation tomorrow!
Oh...my last day of school was today. Good day, lots of hugs from little kids ;o)
Take care!

Good News! Apt. Found!
So, after much searching and driving in the craziness that is Chicago, we have found a place! No, it's not in Bucktown, Wicker Park, or Ukrainian Village, much to our surprise. It's actually in a neighborhood north of Bucktown called Roscoe Village. We found with the 3 neighborhoods we were aiming for, that our price range was enough to get us either 1.) A really nice place next to a not-so-nice area OR 2.) A not-so-nice place in a pretty decent area. And, being that we want a nice place IN a nice area, we realized that we weren't going to find something in the 3 areas we had hoped. Bucktown and Ukrainian Village had some pockets of un-gentrified homes/scary areas and Wicker Park was super busy and expensive. SO...onto Roscoe Village! We put in applications to two places and we got both of them, but decided on the first apt. we found.
A bit about Roscoe Village...
What's great about this neighborhood is that it's very "residential" - so it has a safe feeling. Since I will be taking some night classes, we both agreed that a safe neighborhood was of utmost importance. The el' stop is a 10 minute walk (perfect), and is on the brown line. That may be a problem since they are doing a lot of renovation on that line. But, the landlord said that both her and her husband work in the loop, and the train/bus system hasn't failed them yet.
Parking in this neighborhood is also easier. If we didn't get a garage in one of the other 3 neighborhoods, parking would have been a nightmare. But here, the landlord said that most of her tenants find parking on the same street as where they live and sometimes right in front of the apt.! Woohoo!
Another GREAT aspect of the neighborhood is the close proximity to a dog park, a supermarket (Jewel Osco - 3 blocks away), and Whole Foods and Trader Joe's - our (and Shosta's ;o) favorite organic stores!!!!! Whole Foods is 4 blocks away, and Trader Joe's is a bit further. Woohoo, again!
If we were to move to the other 3 neighborhoods, a grocery store would have been quite a distance away (a couple miles, which translates into 20 or 30 minutes - or more). Or we would have had to go to a Walgreen's or 7Eleven to shop - ICK.
And finally, there's a record store in the neighborhood!!!! Sigh...everything we need ;o)
(Almost, I still have to find a Target)
A little bit about the place...
I don't have pictures of the place, but once we move in, I'll try to post some. It's really quite nice, and it's a duplex, so there are two levels of living space (we get the 2nd and 3rd floors). And the landlord lives in the building next door, so if there are any problems, all we have to do is go knock on their door.
The major downside to this place is that it doesn't have central air. It's not too big of a deal to me, but I think we'll probably end up getting a window unit for the upstairs so Kurt can be comfortable.
The living room is a decent size (not huge, but big enough). It has a little "nook" that we can put the dining room table in and possibly the buffet that matches. The kitchen is a tad old and doesn't have a dishwasher (bummer :o( BUT, it's actually quite large (all things considered). We'll be able to cook TOGETHER! It's large enough to put a rolling island in and some extra carts/baker's racks. Having a nice sized kitchen to cook in is VERY important, as we've been stuck in a tiny one for the last 3 years. (And the last nice kitchen I had was way back in the first apt. I had in college...long time ago!)
Also on the first floor of our unit is a bathroom ("vintage" comes to mind, but ok) and a small 2nd bedroom, perfect for our library/office.
On the second floor is the master bedroom - the entire floor! There's quite a lot of space, which sold us on the place immediately, as most bedrooms in Chicago are TINY (maybe 7' or 8' X 11' or 13' - yeah...that small). There's enough room for our bed and dressers and possibly even a small sitting area. And, if Shosta barks a lot while we're gone or during the transition, it will be a great place for her to stay due to it's size (and a big window towards the street ;o). AND, what's even better is that it has 2 or 3 skylights, so it's a very bright room (with a big closet).
We are really excited about this place, not only because it's nice, but because the landlord was very nice, they are next door, there's a back yard that's fenced, and they seem to be making constant improvements to their properties (they had just refinished the wood floors, painted, and added the skylights). We found that to be pretty important because a lot of places we saw were not well taken care of. It's as if the owners knew they could get 1000 bucks for a crappy place if it was in a nice area, so what's the use of making it nice? And believe me, there were some CRAPPY places we saw.
So...in the end, we didn't find anything in the areas that we had focused much of our time on. But we are REALLY happy with the area we ended up in. It feels "homey" and safe which, in the end, we found to be the most important factor in our search.
Ok...time to go. I have the day off today (first day in a LONG time since all of the musical rehearsals began), so I'm going to try to be productive by cleaning/packing up the office. Or, I'll just sit here and make a wish list of nifty things on the Ikea website.
(Thank you, Michelle, for introducing me to Ikea so many years ago ;o)

A SUCCESS!!!
"The Best Little Theater in Town" was a HUGE success!!! The kids were fabulous and the theater at ODU was perfect! And believe it or not, I wasn't too nervous! We performed for all of the elem. kids at school today and they did a great job. So, there wasn't too much to worry about (except handing the mics around ;o).
I'll be sad to leave the kids behind, though... :*o( The principal even came up and said "Do you really have to leave us?" Sniff sniff... I haven't told the kids I'm leaving yet...not looking forward to that.
What a crazy month! And thank goodness it's all over...well almost.
We're off to Chicago this weekend and hopefully we'll find a place to live...finally. I've got a list of 30 or so places to contact/look at, so we'll have a full weekend. We've got an appt. with an apartment locating service on Saturday - they'll take us around to see listings they have open. But other than that, we'll be on our feet huffing it!
OK...gonna finish up now. Gotta eat some dinner - at 9:30pm...ha.
Take care and I'll post again once we get back from chi-town this weekend!

Our latest trip...
We made our most recent trip to Chicago this past weekend. As my mom says "it feels like we're growing roots to our car seats." It seems like we're constantly traveling...hardly a weekend at home!
We had a good trip this time and it felt like spring instead of winter ;o) We went to a couple of open houses and viewed a couple of others by appt. Only 1 of the 4 we saw really stuck out to us. The problems with that one were the move in date (June 1st only) and the location (wouldn't feel as safe walking around at night-and considering I'll be taking night classes, that's important). The street that it was on was great, and there were streets near by that were just the same. However, we visited a REALLY AWFUL apt earlier and it was just around the corner. SO...the area wasn't consistent enough for us.
One of the most important things we did this trip was drive around Bucktown. We had placed it lower on our list (UK vil, wicker, then bucktown), but now find that it's 1st and UK vil. is 3rd. It's very residential, but very eclectic (school bldgs. painted with murals, artsy houses, intriguing stores). You could find all sorts of nifty little restaurants on just about every street corner. Parking was reasonable and there were a lot of grassy places. AND it's about a 1/2 a mile to a mile from the train station. SO...we are focusing our search on Bucktown and Wicker, and sadly, have raised our max. rent up to about 1250. But, if we want to be in a safe neighborhood and have enough space to feel comfortable, we'll do it ;o)
We'll be back in Chicago in a week and a half (May 18th-21st) so we're hoping to sign a lease then. We may have to change our move in date to July 1st instead of June 22nd - funny thing in Chicago, there's not many places willing to do a mid-month move in. Oh well. But if we can sign something then, we'll have some time to recuperate, pack, and enjoy Columbus before we head out. We have been writing a list of restaurants we want to eat at before we leave, so we've gotta get started on those ;o)
Ok...that's it for now. My MS musical is next week, so I'm sure I'll have something to post then! Believe it or not, it's going REALLY well now ;o) (knock on wood)
Take care~

One Down...One To Go!
One down, one to go!
My elementary musical was last night and went VERY well. There are always a couple of little "oops," but they all performed amazingly! I had a lot of compliments from the parents and teachers, which is always nice...even from parents that I haven't met before! Phew, what a relief!
I have 3 "normal" rehearsals left with my Middle School kids (thank goodness they are about 2 hours each) , then a dress rehearsal at Ohio Dominican University, a school performance in the church, and then the main performance.
The kids REALLY improved yesterday, so I'm feeling a LOT more confident about the show. They still need to sing out, but they are beginning to sing AND dance together! Woo Hoo!
Onto the Chicago front...we're off again tomorrow after we get off work. It makes for a long night (We usually don't get in until after midnight when we leave at 5:30pm), but it's still fun! We're HOPING to find a place Saturday so as to alleviate some of the stress. Kurt and I were just talking at dinner tonight...In a month and a half (and a few days), we'll be living in chicago! Then we realized, about a month and a half ago was St. Patty's day...and that really didn't seem that long ago. Which means a month and a half (and a few days) from now really isn't that far off. SO...needless to say, I lost my appetite ;o)
OK...well...I gotta get packing for the trip (after "the office" of course).
Hope you all have a great weekend!
