Today, Alissa and Nathan packed up their belongings and crossed the state line to move to Illinois. It seems like just yesterday we were there to help them load up a U-Haul and today we were there as the U-Haul took them to Bloomington, Illinois.
It is bittersweet as we say farewell to their apartment, the place they called home for three and a half years. Never again will John and I visit this neighborhood. We will miss the happy times we spent here, but we are so happy that Alissa has found a new job and she and Nathan are able to be together again in Bloomington. We also look forward to many weekends spent making new memories down in a city that we learned to love while Alissa went to college there.
John is a bit saddened that from now on, a car with an Illinois license will be parked on our street whenever they visit, but at least, Alissa assures us she will still bleed green and gold and forever be a Packer fan! Phew, we would have to disown her if she turned to da Bears!
This is what we saw on our trip down Bluemound Road today. And all this time I thought Santa was apolitical! I call, "Fraud, fraud, this is not the real Santa, recall him!"
And, just to document, we had our first snowfall of the season today. I hope it is our last!
