Chicago?????

Jeremy and I spent the weekend in Chicago searching for a new place in which to make our home. Who knew it would be so difficult? Basically before we even left Nauvoo we were both feeling weird about going up there. I thought maybe it was because I was going to be gone on Mother's Day. But, we said a prayer together and left anyway. So after driving almost all the way to Monmouth we realized we had driven off and left Jeremy's contract back in Nauvoo and had to turn around and get it!! Good grief. Once in chicago we ended up spending a good deal of money on our tires and rims because we hit a huge pothole and ruined them both on one side of the car. So we started our house search and it seemed no matter what, nothing was right for us. We both were discouraged after Saturday but, thought sunday might be better. It wasn't. When we found a house we half way liked-then we didn't like the school...or the neighborhood...or the price. It seems nothing was right.
We ended up leaving Chicago feeling like everything was wrong and wondering if we made the right decision. this is a very big decision and we are confused. Argh! We'll see........
Maybe we can run away to an uncharted island somewhere and live like Robinson Crusoe!

any thoughts????

Chicago, eh? Well, if nothing felt right, maybe it wasn't the right place. However, maybe you just haven't found the right place yet. It's a big city. But, I know it's probably really frustrating for you guys. I hope things clear themselves up soon.
