Welcome!

Hi all!

We thought this would be a way to keep in touch with our friends and family, and to let you know what's going on in our lives! We'd also like to share our adventures in Chicago and "adulthood" (!?)

Alex is in healthcare via technology, and and Jenn is a student (again...) pursuing an RDN credential sometime in the next decade.  We have three furry girls to love on and just purchased our first home this year! It's a condo in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, where we have lived for the past three years.  We came for the for the quiet, tree-lined streets off the red line, and are staying for the lakefront, restaurants, shops, and feeling of home.

Some of what we'll write about will be making our home our own, and some will be our day-to-day hobbies and pursuits.  Alex is a busy fellow, tutoring in an after school program, running agility with Nyobi, woodworking, reaching things higher than 5'6", and generally fixing things I ask him to.  I study in an online program, volunteer in a community cooking school and floral organization, and cook for extended periods and at odd hours of the day.  We both love to snuggle our pup, cats when they let us, and to explore the wonderful neighborhoods in our city through food, shows, and shops.

Thanks for reading and we'll try to keep you posted :)
