Our Relocation to Northeast Ohio

Yep, we moved! It has been 2 wonderful months since we moved into our new home and "real life" has finally kicked in. Benson and I are enjoying the fact that when Lundon is home, he is actually home and not running around doing Dental school stuff. Since we've moved we have been busy having lots of visitors including my Dad, Mom, sister Natalie, Aunt Lisa, cousins Cory and Cami, Lundon's old mission companion Brandon, college friends Brian, Lacy and daughter Alli (Benson's adorable friend), Darren and Tiffany(+2 in her belly). We also just got back on Sunday from the Albrecht family 7 day cruise, which I will try an post about soon.

I'm not sure how I'm going to like the winters since we are now in the snow belt, but this summer has been so fun! I was afraid that there wouldn't be much to do here, but between the visitors and Benson we have kept pretty busy. Yesterday we went and picked blackberries at a cute little farm just 1 mile down the road. If you keep going you'll run into Lake Erie and find an awesome park with a playground right on the water. If you go West for 15 minutes you'll run into Fairport Harbor beach. Yes, we actually have a beach with sand and everything:) They offer yoga there that I will be frequenting more often now that our big vacation is over and life is starting to slow down. We are members of the outdoor YMCA which has 4 different pools, 3 of which are kid pools only with water toys. Now our next big project is grass so Benson has a yard to play in. We have a lot of things that we need to add to our new house, but we love having visitors and you guys are welcome anytime!

Side Note: 6 more days until Mockingjay comes out!!

Lundon took out all 4 of Natty's wisdom teeth while she was here (2 were impacted). What a trooper!
This is this house that my Mom grew up in. My grandparents sold it just 2 years ago. It is only 30 minutes away from where we live so we decided to go take a visit.

The house. Our door is still the wrong color, but they are coming to fix it soon:)
