chicago beckons

it's no secret that i LOVE chicago.
it's also no secret that i've thought about moving here. i even have a job lined up here if i need it.

but i don't want to leave california ... because of family.

however, chicago is definitely trying to court me. i've been here five times this year so far and will return in 3 weeks. the weather has been FABULOUS every time ... not even humid this week. (okay, january was kinda bad but i was here for a record breaking storm so it really doesn't count).

we'll see how it is next month, but based on this year's trips, this would be an awesome place to live.
