Peace Out Chicago! Why I Am Moving…

Hi friends! So BIG news today…Sean and I are officially moving from Chicago this Friday! Eeeeeek! I cannot even believe it. We are leaving our place in the heart of River North and headed to a very nearby Western Suburb. If you want to know where specifically…Larry may have shared on SnapChat today (Username: cedarandrush). But seriously only 25 minutes away. No Big Deal.

As you know my love for The Windy City will never fade and will continue to be part of my life. I have clients and projects down here, so you cannot get rid of me that fast! Not to mention some of my dearest friends reside in the city. Get those couches ready ladies 😉

I will always associate the city with some of the most challenging and best times of growing up. Finding my first apartment (Cedar & Rush!), career changes, disappointment, falling in love, watching my friends create their own paths, getting married and of course, my little pup Larry. It is crazy to believe how fast eight years has gone by!

From painting the town red, to settling down….to painting the town red…Haha, yeah, that hasn’t stopped too much 😉 Our desire to live a little quieter lifestyle has slowly sneaked up on us. Remember my New Year Resolution to cut down the events? I think my subconscious was telling me something. We want to plant some roots and go on an adventure. All amazing things for Team Regan!

So more importantly, what does this mean for you guys? Well, to be honest, I don’t know! And to be even more honest, I am nervous you won’t want to read Cedar & Rush anymore. Remember that survey you all filled out? Thank you so much by the way! Several of you requested more events and happenings around the city. That scares the sh*t out of me.

However given where I am mentally, no matter if I lived downtown or not, my life is shifting.

One of the most valuable things I have learned in my twenties, is to see the bigger picture. It helps put things in perspective. Those “this is such a big deal!” moments are much smaller than you think. I promise.

The good news is Cedar & Rush is here to stay and I cannot wait to see how it changes with me. Although a lot of things will stay the same, I already have some great ideas in the hopper.

So with that being said, I am wrapping up Chicago with a bow and tying the knot with a slower pace kind of place.

It’s time to see where the wind will blow me and I can’t wait!

As always, thank you so much for following along on C&R and if you have made a city to suburb transition, give me a shout! I need someone to show me the ropes.

Peace out Chicago! And see you next week. Twice. Old habits die-hard right?
