Where have all the bloggers gone?

Well fam, I wish the blog site had been a bigger hit. I miss my family and I really hoped that we could all keep in touch with this blogsite :(

Here is what I am up to!

Gary and I moved to Chicago in February of 2008. We love it here! Such diversity in the city but also in our neighborhood. We are bracing for our first full winter. I have my first pair of earmuffs and think they are wonderful!

I am the Controller for a small marketing/advertising agency that specializes in hotels. Work has been slow lately due to the sluggish economy. We laid off a few people last month, but I think we should weather the storm fairly well moving forward without any more layoffs.

Gary is working for a variety of different casino party companies. He does everything from dealing to supervising to training dealers and supervisors. His schedule varies greatly depending on which company schedules him for which events. He is also thinking of getting back into the acting business. Chicago is a great place to do that as at any given time some movie or television show is being filmed here.

We have been exploring the city and making new friends. I travel mostly by bus and train now and don't miss driving at all. Gary still drives alot because of his work. We realized very early that we needed to purchase a parking space close to home rather than relying on getting a spot on the street. Forget trying to park in Chicago!

I would love to hear from other family members about what they have been up to.

Write soon!
