Sandusky Here We Come!

After A LOT of deliberation and waiting we finally found out Friday that we indeed are moving to Sandusky, Ohio. There is a picture below to give you and idea as to where this place is because if you are like me I had no idea it even exsisted until now. We are very excited, although we really wish it was a warmer destination.

It is a small town, about 30,000, but only an hour away from both Toledo and Cleavland. I have to admit I am a little nervous about moving to a smaller place. I have done some research on-line to see if there will be job opportunities like I have now and it doesn't seem likely. I don't make a ton of money but I do make enough to pay the bills so that we don't have to live off loan money. That may not be the case next year. Gotta love student debt! And lots of it! The other thing that makes me nervous is I have never not worked. I am not sure how I will handle being home all day. Don't get me wrong, I love being home with Cambri, and wouldn't want it any other way, but it is nice to have and hour or two a day to get out and do my own thing. Cambri either stays home with Nate or plays in the daycare while I teach so it has worked out perfect.

The great part about it all is we are going to be moving with some of our good friends from Iowa- Annie and Caleb, Jenni and Nick and Liz. It will be nice to have friends from day one.

And rent there is really cheap...I think. The hope is to get a 3 bedroom apartment so that we have room for visitors. And yes you will want to visit! Here are a few highlights to intice you...

1. Sandusky is the #1 tourist attraction in Ohio.

2. Home to Cedar Point the largest roller coaster park in the USA (maybe even in the world).

You can check out the website-http://www.cedarpoint.com/

3. For you fellow church members Kirtland is only about 1.5 hours away.

4. Niagra Falls is just over 4 hours away.

5. "The New Rating Guide to Life in America's Small Cities" has chosen Sandusky as the sixth best small city in America in a comparison of 193 U.S. "micropolitan" areas (cities with 15,000-50,000 residents).

6. Lots of fun outdoor activites especially since it is right on the water.

7. And of course it will be home to Me, Nate and baby Cambri. The best reason to come visit:).

The thriving downtown district:) Cute though don't you think?

You know you want to!!!

I may be motivated to pick up running if this is my scenery.

I will do more research to find fun things to do. So start planning you vacation to Ohio:)!
