This weekend was my first week at the new place, and to celebrate I had company. My beau went camping over the weekend and I offered to keep Murphy with me. Murphy is the cutest boxer mix ever! We had a blast, my new neighborhood is super dog friendly and has all these running/walking paths that go for about 16 miles out. So Sunday morning we went for a 2 hour walk where he got to play with other dogs and exercise, we came back home, ate and took a nap and then waited for "A" to pick him up.
I ended up dropping off Murphy, we then went to the movies to see Savages, which I liked very much, stopped at our neighborhood for dinner and a bottle of wine and then back to his place for some alone time. It was a wonderful weekend and a wonderful date night.
I am really enjoying my new place, the neighborhood, life in the city and all these awesome changes that had happened in the last month or so. Life is good, so I think is time to change the name of this blog to something less melancholic and more welcoming to this amazing life that I am very much enjoying.
I need to think about the new name, but the decision has been made. Even though I miss Chicago, it is no longer in the way I did. I don't ache to go back, I no longer want to change my present, I am no longer working towards going back, at least not any time soon. I am embracing change and this new life full of opportunities, a new career, a new relationship, a new place, all the things that I've prayed for are here! It was granted to me and even though they are not in Chicago i welcome them with excitement and arms wide open!
Embrace change and be grateful!
XOXO
