Well it is official. Teri Deel will be Chicago bound in 2011!!! I have decided after much, much, much prayer that it is time to leave Nashville behind and see what else is out there. I’ll be staying in Nashville to finish up my lease and then moving in with my wonderful aunt and uncle in the Windy City.

Right now I’m busy looking at grad schools and trying to decide which one is the best fit for me. My uncle works in higher ed, so he is being a saint and helping me narrow the field. My mom and sis have been SUPER supportive and so have my closest friends. I’ve not told many people until now because it’s been a little uncertain. Now I want to shout it everywhere! I feel more at peace right now in this moment than I have in years.

For a long time I’ve been fighting this restlessness in me that it’s time to move on. I’ve made excuses and made other plans. Now, I just feel peace.

I’d appreciate your prayers in the next few months as I prepare to make this move. I’ve never lived anywhere but Nashville. It’s a little overwhelming, but so exciting.
