Oh the decisions to be made!

There are so many decisions to be made. Not just when it comes to wedding planning, but just with life overall! I have been applying for all sorts of jobs [POSTGRAD life is kicking back in...had to set back into reality sometime!] which is honestly kind of exciting because I like being able to see all of the different opportunities that are out there, especially in the field that I'm interested in. But Tim and I have been thinking a lot about our future because we will need to start finding a place to live within the next year too (which is really exciting!!), and like you all already know, we both really are extremely interested in living in Chicago. We've both been applying for jobs both here and there (and honestly anywhere at this point!). If either of us get something here then we will love it, but if either of us get something there, we will love it! There are so many amazing places to live in both cities, and both are cities that I absolutely love! I just love the idea of leaving STL for a couple of years just to experience other things because it's not like we will have such an amazing opportunity like that forever. 
We've been looking at lofts downtown in STL on Washington Avenue (in the Washing Ave. Loft District) which are honestly amazing, and it's such a neat area, but the thought of everything Chicago just makes me that must more intrigued to be there. I don't think I've ever had such a strong passion to get up and do something as I have right now to get up and move to another place and start my life fresh in a new, big, wonderful, amazing city. Everyone knows that Chicago is on my list of obsession cities. Just imagine living it! And I mean living in the heart of Chicago. I've talked to an old friend recently and got some advice from someone else I know who grew up in Chicago, all suggesting that we go for it while giving all sorts of suggestions of job opportunities, [local] things to do, transportation, and places to live. My desktop background is actually my fiance and I in Chicago with the amazing skyline and Lake Michigan behind us! 
I don't really know why I'm questioning it(I'm not actually ... I just feel the need to talk about it for some reason) because I obviously know where both of us really want to be and what we really want to be doing, but it just may take longer than we had hoped or expected to reach that goal. But I do know that I want to experience city life whether it's here or there because i've grown up my entire life in the suburbs of St. Charles, and I have loved everything about it and plan to raise my family in the future in a similar way, but for now, while we're still so young and free, I want to branch out. This has been my dream and where I've seen myself for a long time so now I just need to make it happen. I will truly be happy wherever I am, and I am anxious to see what opportunities arise either here or elsewhere, and I cannot wait to take them on with great determination as I would with anything else. And who knows (I'm a big dreamer) maybe wherever either of us do end up, we will have the opportunity to move up within a great company which may even take us to other great places. I just want to have the opportunity to explore other places that I have yet to experience to the fullest. I can always come back home. And I will. But for now, I want to explore new places. I am open to any and all new opportunities : ) Oh the decisions to be made!
