The Siberian American: Hello from Texas

Hello from Texas

Hey, everyone. I just wanted to write a quick note that I made it to Texas! We actually managed to make the whole drive in one day in a little over 13 hours. It was a long, hard day, but at least it meant we were done, and I could recover the next day. Christopher and his parents are leaving Chicago in the moving truck today (there is severe weather in the forecast for Chicago, so we would love your prayers and positive thoughts that they can leave before it starts).


Being back at my parents’ house after not stepping foot in Texas for over a year feels weird. In some ways, it feels like I never left. (Wasn't it just yesterday that I wrote a quick hello from Chicago?) On the other hand, it feels like I’ve been gone forever. It’s also going to take a while to get used to the heat again. It’s crazy how quickly my body adjusted to the beautiful Chicago summers!

We don’t move in to our new place until Tuesday, so it will be nice to have a few days to relax (even though Christopher does have to go to orientation) before part two of our moving madness. Thank you so much for all of your support as we make the transition back from Chicago to Dallas. I can’t wait to share more about our life here!

  3. I'm glad you made it back to the great state of Texas safely! Enjoy your couple days of rest. Let me tell you, I don't think I will ever get used to the Texas heat again after living in DC for three years.... Good thing I love so many other things about this state, or else I wouldn't be here!

  13. aw! I am so feeling you. This is so parallel to what I did last August moving down here (esp. me driving with the pup alone and then my hub driving the moving truck). It is so crazy how chapters come and go. Have a fabulous little relaxing weekend at home with your parents (that's kinda nice).
