And so it begins...

Hey guess what?

I live in Ohio!

Weird, right?

Super weird. But I am loving it.

Ohio is beautiful. Sometimes it takes my breath away. I keep saying that to people we run into here and they look at me like I am stupid. "But you're from Idaho" they say. "Idaho is the beautiful one". I guess we all take for granted what we have.

There are so many trees here! And guess what? Fall is a REAL season, guys! It's not just a week between the sun and the snow!

But boy am I glad the weather is changing into Fall. Because humidity... well, it sucks! It sucks big time. I walk out to get the mail and have to take a shower when I get back into the apartment. Humidity makes you a sticky, sweaty mess that's for sure! I don't like that part of Ohio in the least. That, and the allergies it brings. Allergies in Ohio are worse than allergies in Idaho. And allergies in Ohio make Jake snore...so you can imagine my disgust in them.

Jake is liking his job here - it will just take him a while to get into the groove of things. He is learning a whole new part of the insurance game, but he is loving the challenge.

And me? Well...I am bored out of my mind. The humidity outside really makes it hard for me to want to leave the apartment. That, and the lack of a car. Luckily, the weather is changing. And my husband gets home from work at 5! Five o'clock people! It is such a nice change to actually spend some daylight with him.

I am keeping myself busy watching re-runs of Downton Abbey and reading about sites to visit during our 6 months on this side of the continent. And waiting patiently for the weekends where we can actually do our touristing.

Speaking of, get ready for some super long and probably super boring entries about our sightseeing. Just deal with it...

[Jake's Grandpa and Grace live 20 minutes from us! So fun to see them the day after we got here]

[There is this super pretty bike and walking trail right in our backyard]

[I never understood what a grove of trees was until we got here. This is right outside our back door]
