Offically an Ohioan

Well I have been in Cincinnati for officially one week.  So far I must say I like it.  First weekend was mostly about moving in, cleaning, emptying boxes, cleaning, hanging artwork and cleaning.  Mom and Dad came to visit and help. It made the transition easier with all of MJ's traveling.  On Saturday evening we took them to dinner at Montgomery Inn.  I've got 1 word....Yum!!  I had the Wisconsin Duck and MJ the Beef Brisket special.  Sunday we were invited to a barbecue with one of dad's co-workers.  It was a wonderful afternoon of food, conversation & laughs.

All good things come to an end as they say and MJ left for Chicago for the week with Mom & Dad and that left me to spend my first week in Cincinnati solo.  So here I am and have tried to be productive.  Monday - straight to the YMCA.  Membership a must.  Its an older location but it has all the main ingredients:  pool, weight room, spin class, no kids allowed.  Felt good to get in the water; haven't tackled a full on "Nick' workout yet but all in due time.

Tuesday led me across the street to Tina's where I met a few new friends.  Wednesday and Thursday the weather has been beautiful so I have done my best to take walking tours of my "new hood". Friday the hubby finally comes home and we can start to explore as a twosome; always better than alone....til next time.

Cinci Bound

Well it's official - We are relocating!!  Michael received an exciting new job opportunity in Cincinnati!  Everything is happening so fast.  He accepted the position just one week ago today and is already in Cinci working. 

 I will stay behind for a few weeks to tie up a few loose ends:  move the kids to their own apartment, rent out our condo, WATCH THE OLYMPICS! > GO PHELPS!!, attend and stand up in Chris and Heather Kosterman's wedding >Love them!!, oh yeah and pack up our life into boxes to begin a new life.

I'm excited for this change, but I can't wait to get there and be done with the stress of planning the move.
