{layout from a few years ago when we lived in Ohio}

We lived in Ohio for exactly one year.
Almost to the day.
I disliked the whole year.
To the day.
When we moved here,
I said I would never...
ever...
ever...
ever
move back to the north.

Which is why we are moving back to Ohio this summer.
Yep.

My list of possible next moves....
included...
South Carolina,
Germany,
Switzerland,
Spain,
Oregon,
Utah,
&/or Colorado...
so we are moving to Ohio.

The town where I left the grocery store multiple times
in tears.
Ohhhh yeah...
(and for the record, I am so not a cry-er)

needless to say I'm really excited.
or not.

I am however going to attempt to make the best of it.
{but thanks for listening to me whine a little here}

...this helped to encourage me this morning...

on the way to the boy's school:

and on my way back from dropping them at school:In an effort to be positive,
we've been doing "what we will miss" and "what we're looking forward to" lists...
I'll have to blog them once I get some photos.
.........................
Been a crazy week.

you have to let me know when you guys are moving...surely we can make a redbirds game happen before then.

and where in Ohio? back to the same place you were before? I think I have to go to Cincinnati for a conference next year, but that's barely in ohio, so prob nowhere near where you'll be...

if anyone i know can make lemonade from this here
BIG
lemon...

FUTURE
places to move.
