OHIO

It's been a while since I've been in this space. I've missed it so much. I know I say that every time. I really hope to carve out a time to write consistently. I need the outlet. And besides, there are so many new things to write about now!

I still can't believe our family moved to Ohio over the summer for Kelvin's new job opportunity with Lubrizol at the corporate office. It was just last year we were settling into our new house on Landon Lane and loving our pool and shop and land and neighbors. Who knew we would be all the way across the country in less than a year?! Crazy times. We are enjoying our new surroundings. The weather is gorgeous for now.

I can't believe the colors!

Y'all, this is a real pumpkin patch! Like the pumpkins are actually growing on the vine!

I'm a little anxious about the winter, having never lived in snow or cold. We will embrace it as much as we can...skiing, snowboarding, sledding, fires, hot toddies, sleigh rides and more! I'll need to go shopping too. We just don't have the appropriate clothes for this climate.

The move hasn't come without adjustments. We all left everything and everyone we knew and loved, but I think it has been good. The kids are making new friends and so are we. We love our neighbors. Everyone has been so kind and accommodating. We're in a rental for now and hope to buy in the same charming neighborhood. It's like Mayberry! There's a beach, the lake, trails, green space, and lots of community activities! I love it. The kids love it too. Luke has been fishing and caught quite a whopper!

Cora loves the friends she can play with in the 'hood, and Carleigh enjoys walking down to the beach to read and chill.

Stay tuned as I share our new adventures!
