The Windy City

I'm going to be flying to Chicago on the first of September to run my company's office up there for two weeks. I'm excited about the trip and I'll be flying Dayna up there for a couple of nights so that we can both be together and away from the babies. I have to confess though, I'm going to miss my family terribly.

However, my purpose for being in Chicago is two-fold -- one, of course, is to run the office. The other purpose is to scout out potential place to live. That's right, there's a very, very good chance that I'll be moving up there.

Our company is currently debating the future of our Chicago office. If it is decided to keep the office there running -- which, as I'm told, is what most of the influential people want -- then I've been informed that the position of running Chicago will be offered to me.

This is an unprecedented break in my life. It would include a substantial salary increase as well as other perks. More importantly, it will turn my family's financial situation around for the better. Dayna and I are very anxious as to what's going to occur in the next few weeks. We're spending a lot of time trying to learn as much about Chicago as we can.

If anyone would like to advise me on anything regarding Chicago, I'm all ears.
