Its been 1 year

Its been an entire year since we packed up our family and moved 211 miles away from everything we have ever known.

Our life together began when we bought this little house before we were even married. We took this house and made it a home. We have so many amazing memories here. Newlyweds. Holidays. Birthdays. Bringing home three beautiful girls and the first days home with them. 

As we pulled away I snapped this picture.  It was the last time it was going to be our home. I knew bigger and better things awaited for us but couldn't help but to feel sad. We were truly beginning the next chapter of our lives. 

We knew for 7 months prior that our family was going to go through the hardest transition we have ever had to face. Rick was offered a position that we couldn't pass up. After talking alot about it, we knew that accepting would be the best for his career and everything else would fall into place. It was hard leaving our family and friends to go somewhere, where we knew no one. 

3.5 hours later, we arrived here. Home. 

3,200 square feet of new space to make new memories. And we have. Lotssss of them... Even bringing home a baby!

Now, 1 year later, I can honestly say we made the best decision to come to Ohio. We have made some wonderful friends. We cherish and look forward to the time we are able to spend with our families. And we have all adjusted with no tears! I'm thankful for the amount of time we have together and how much we have grown as a family.
