as our 3 car and 1 truck pulling a trailer caravan pulled into willowbrook, i immediately noticed a target, bed bath & beyond, jamba juice, chipotle, starbucks, panera, dunkin donuts, and sports authority all within two blocks of our new home. just a little bit different than what we are used to. and i must say that we have fully utilized our proximity to these locations to the fullest in just two days.
another hightlight - IKEA. i've always dreamed of going into one but never had the chance to....and it definitely lived up to my expectations. we were in search of a sofa couch to give our potential visitors a place to sit and even sleep. so just let us know if you are in chicago and you are more than welcome. and matt says it's a good thing we have the beretta to take on the challenge of taking our new futon home....he was proud. :)
last night we had a heart to heart with our neighbor. florence is a 87 year old woman who lives in the main floor of our complex. if you watched the weather, we had a few tornadoes come through the area. so instead of hanging out in the hallway, we knocked on florences door and chatted with her. waiting out the storm turned into sharing her life story. she's a sweet, dutch woman and invited us to her church next sunday. as florence says....we dutch need to stick together :).
after the boxes get all unpacked, we will try to put some pictures of our place on here. it's time to leave starbucks.

Hello Lindsey and matt! I am glad to hear your trip went well! I am a little jealous about the Starbucks, but it is probably better for my income not to have that close by ;) I hope you get settled in nicely and enjoy your jobs!
Willowbrook, Illinois?
