Friday we sold our place in Chicago, a closing and important step in our forthcoming move to Madrid. Eric, Dorothy, and I are hold up well in a hotel in downtown Chicago for the weekend. It was a good time to visit our favorite spots and act like tourists in the city we've called home for close to four years. We expect to hear from the consulate Tuesday that we can pick up our visas. The interview there last week went really well and didn't raise any new issues in paperwork not completed, same sex coupledom, or anything else. If the call comes, then we'll leave on an Iberian flight to Madrid Tuesday PM, arriving Wednesday morning. We've got a three bedroom apartment booked for six weeks from when we arrive that is fully furnished (including crib) so we will be able to take some time looking for the right rental place to move into when our stuff arrives. The move out went well but was exhausting as any move always is. Everything we own is either in one of our 7 suitcases or in a 20 foot cargo container which is likely still in Chicago, awaiting our visa number so it can hit the seas. Our digital phone is up and working well so you can continue to reach us on the number which was formerly my cell. For now that's on forward to my new cell phone but after the move will be set to ring in Spain.
That's all the news right now. We've gone from totally craziness in moving out and closing on our condo to what seems like a real serene time before the move. Good to catch up on sleep and lounge for a couple of days. I can already tell that is going to be a passing phase.
