I thought I'd do a little series of posts about some differences between McKinney and Evanston.
1st difference: Weather
In McKinney the forecast for the next 10 days is sunny with highs in the 90's.
In Evanston the forecast is sunny/overcast with the highest high for the next 10 days set at 74. Which means that some of those days the high is in the 60's and lows in the 50s. Seriously? It's June folks!
Don't get me wrong, the weather will be great to keep me running all summer, however I'm pretty sure I'm not running in the winter in Chicago. I've never done a gym membership before so I might break that and get one if I want to keep running through the winter.
I also need to find my jackets that have been put away since April because I think I'll need them at night there!
Little difference #2 Tom Thumb
Tom Thumb in Texas=Grocery Store
Tom Thumb in Evanston=Craft Store
Things I'm looking forward to:
-Due to the fact that we'll be in an apartment, there will be no lawn mowing/edging/weed whacking for the next year! Woo hoo!
-Christian not having to commute 1 hour each direction to work. Our apartment is 2 blocks to campus and 1/2 mile from the building all his classes are at so his commute should be 10-15 minutes in each direction, walking.
-Eating more/learning how to make delicious thick crust pizza!
-All hardwood floors in the apartment. Cats and carpet don't mix!
-Checking out Trader Joe's. I've heard that they have awesome and unique food at their little grocery chain and am excited to see what it has to offer.
I'll post some more later!
