I’ll make our announcement via two songs that have been stuck in my head since T-Bone accepted a new job offer yesterday.

and…

It’s been 9 years, y’all. We’re finally going home.

7 years ago this August. Now we'll be making the trip in reverse. Minus one cat, plus two Master's degrees and two children. My, how things change.

I’ve got so many words that want to spill out of me — on leaving NYC, on returning to the Midwest, on attempting life in the suburbs, on SHOPPING FOR A MINIVAN.

I have a feeling you’ll see a lot posted here in coming weeks. That is, if I can find anytime to write what with this whole cross-country-with-two-kids move happening. And happening fast.

I just booked plane tickets for July 17. That fast.

We have always had a thing for ill-advised adventures, though, so this should be hardly be a surprise to anyone who knows us well.

We’re really doing it, people. Finally.

WE’RE COMING HOME!!!

    This has happened so quickly Jo.  Sad for Penny and Egon – indeed for your two families – but I wish you all well for the move and you, Tony, for your new job.  Maybe I’ll get to visit you in Chicago one day.

    Hooray! I’m sure it will be sad to leave the city but it’ll be so great having you guys closer!
