MKE, HERE WE COME!

MILWAUKEE ADVENTURES

How it all began–taking a chance

Dec. 2019. One night Daniel and I went to a date night storytelling event. During intermission he mentioned his friend was moving from his downtown apartment. I didn’t give it much thought and we went back to the show. At first I didn’t consider that we would move into the apartment. I had just started a new job I really liked and had worked really hard to find. However I couldn’t help thinking about it the next few days at work. I recalled some time before I wrote a list called “living the shit out of my life” where I listed all the things I wanted to live my best life. The list included – rent a bigger apartment living within walking distance of groceries, coffee shop and pay down debt. Moving would satisfy those things. It’s not very often that you get to move to a bigger place and be able to pay down debt. I texted Daniel about it, saying I was thinking about it. What it came down to was “why not?” I figured chances like this don’t come around that often. I had been living in Madison for over 10 years, I had experienced everything I wanted to experience in that city. So we set the wheels in motion to move cities and move in with each other.

May 2019. Blu Bar and Lounge on the 23rd floor of the Pfister Hotel, downtown Milwaukee. We rode the new streetcar, called The Hop, to the stop closest to the hotel to hit up happy hour. The lounge is full of comfy chairs and couches all in various colors of blue! Enjoyed the beautiful view with discounted drinks.
