Our time in Peoria is rapidly coming to an close. After what seems like a very short two and a half months from the time we knew we'd be moving, we've signed the papers on a new house west of Aurora and we're expecting the movers bright and early in the morning to start packing up the Pandemonium. We're not really moving that far, but it's still hard to think of living somewhere else, and we still have to say goodbye. After twelve years, we are saying goodbye to our dear friends, to our little town, to our creaky, quirky old house and many, many wonderful memories. It seems a little unreal still, like a dream that I'm having a hard time waking up from, but I know that our new house will soon become home, just as this one did, that old friends will remain, new friends will be made, and that many new adventures await.
So thank you to everyone who made us welcome, who have made us family, who have made our time here special - we will remember with warm hearts your hospitality and your wry sense of humor, your love of life and of truth and of good warm bonfires on chilly October evenings. And we'll expect you to come visit.
