As it nears the end of September, it is becoming increasingly obvious that fall is arriving to the Midwest. The leaves are slowly beginning to turn, the nights are getting colder, the days longer, and we are beginning to feel at home in our new apartment. After some long weeks of moving in, we are officially up and running as the Chicago Moishe House.
We opened our home to our close friends with our first Moishe House event, our Apples and Honey "house warming" party, two weeks ago. All Saturday before our party was spent cleaning, shopping and cooking. With all the preparations for hosting this event, it finally began to sink in that we were officially roommates and this was our house. For me especially I can say that after a year of traveling and being on-the-go and always unsettled, it felt good to finally feel as though I had come home.
It turned out to be a great evening spent with old and new friends. We started off with a small dinner party with close friends and soon the evening took off as guests began arriving throughout the night. It was an exciting and festive feeling to share this space with others and spread the news of our plans for the year. With some good tunes, a spread of cheeses, apples, and other tasty treats, as well as some good conversation, it turned out to be quite a successful first event for our house. I feel that this will be an exciting year for us as friends as well as a Moishe House.
