On The Move

The life of a coaches family - always on the move. We seem to be stuck in the eastern time zone and have made our next move to Cleveland. After taking a job as a defensive assistant with the Cleveland Browns, Daron had 5 days to get his life packed into the Tahoe and start his new job. Within 1 week I had successfully sent him links to more houses than he ever wanted to see. I was brave and allowed him to make the final call on the house....although, we didn't have a ton of choices after seeing the houses.

2 weeks later our life in West Virginia was boxed and on a 3.5 hour drive northwest to Cleveland. I'm still in the unpacking and reorganizing process. The houses here are old (which I love) and this one needs a little love. Yes, we are only renting but there are some things a girl must update! The house has the perfect amount of space and the finished basement may be the best part (once it is no longer full of boxes waiting to be unpacked!). My goal is to do some before/after shots of the things I redo with the help of some DIY pinterest directions, ha!

I'm loving having a bigger city again and Whole Food and Trader Joe's have already had a visit from us! I'm excited to start Dylan in a music class, take frequent visits to the Children's Museum, and explore the zoo and other kid friendly activities the city offers once it warms up. Dylan loves having a yard (that's flat) to play in even though it's been too cold and snowy to use it as much as he'd like. My other lofty goal would be to plant a real garden this spring/summer. Something I've wanted to do for a long time but never seem to accomplish!

I've also got a lot of things on my 30 for 30 list that need to be accomplished in the next 7 months...I need to get a move on!
