So much to discover!

We made it! And like the sign says, we have so much to discover. At least the sign didn't say that Ohio was the "crossroads of America" like the other 5 state signs that we saw along the way. We started out our drive at 5:30 a.m. with super thick fog in the dark canyons going through Park City, then with some snow blowing across the open plains blinding us in the very beginning of Wyoming. Thankfully that was no indication of what the rest of the trip was like. We had perfect weather through the rest of Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and into Ohio. Not a speck of rain or snow. The thought of driving across the midwest during the middle of winter was the scariest part of the move to me, and my prayers were answered!

We love our apartment, we love our location, we love how close we are to any store we would need and to downtown Columbus. We love how Ryan learned a new route that shortened his commute from 55 minutes to 35 minutes and that he thoroughly enjoyed his first day of work yesterday.

I'm still not quite over the "missing Utah and our family and friends there" phase yet... but I know it will come sooner than later as I learn the area, meet new people, and find a new job. Yay for change and new challenges and growing and so much good stuff that we have yet to discover!
