On Saturday the city of Chicago and I celebrated our anniversary. Two years ago I made the 800 mile move to a new city I barely knew in search of a new beginning, something that deep down I knew I needed. Our two years together have been one adventure after another – I’ve lived in three apartments, I’ve changed jobs twice, I ran a marathon – and I am endlessly grateful for all of the opportunities that this city has brought me.

It’s amazing to pause and reflect on how drastic life can change in a relatively short amount of time and I’m so lucky to have truly built a home for myself in Chicago. I’m still in complete awe of this city’s beauty and can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be for the time being.

Thanks for another great year, Chicago. I’m so glad we found each other.
