Moved

Long story short....a week ago we left the good state of Texas, where we had lived for over a year and a half, and moved to Ohio. I first have to note that Justin wins husband of year year award for flying back from Ohio (he left a week ahead of us to start work) to help me drive to Ohio. Making that trip in a small car, with three kids...by myself would have been NO FUN. So very thankful for his consideration and love. :)

We are absolutely LOVING our new home!! We went from a small 3 bedroom mobile home to a 4 bedroom 2 story house WITH a basement! I feel like I am in a dream. We live in a quiet neighborhood and I feel like we are kind of in the country. We got a gym membership to the YMCA and it takes us less then 10 minutes together there. When we lived in GA, I had a membership to Golds Gym and loved taking their classes (pump, body combat, cycling) and I was at the gym often (only $20 plus childcare!!). Here it is a bit more expensive but with how much we will be using it each month...totally worth it. 

Oh! And my most FAVORITE part about moving to Ohio, is that one of my dearest friends, Jeni and her family, live here too!! In fact, they are only about 10 minutes away. Out of all the places in the world, Justin's job ended up taking us 10 minutes here. We are going to have a BLAST this year and live it up. They too have a YMCA membership so we'll be hanging out there a lot. 

The kids are doing great with the transition. We talked about "moving to Ohio" the past few months that when the time came, we were ALL ready to finally get here...despite it being sad to leave Texas and all the wonderful people that we met there. 

I'm excited to go to church tomorrow and meet the people. I wonder what my new church calling will be? I'm excited for the friends that I'll be meeting this year. 

We will only be here until next January and then we'll be relocated elsewhere...but I am praying that it's God's will that we stay here. Its only been a week...but I truly am already in love and connected to this place.
