For many of you reading this post, the following news will come as a surprise. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to move back home. (Ohio.) I grew up there and have family and friends in the area. It’s familiar and it is a great place to live and raise a family. I love the weather. I’ve missed the long fall season and snow at Christmas. I love the shopping, restaurants, neighborhoods, parks and just being home.
Well, I don’t have to miss it any longer. We’re heading north to Ohio in December. Dominic accepted a promotion with his company and it’s in Columbus, Ohio!
I’m very excited for what lies ahead for my family. But life is bittersweet. I’m incredibly sad at what I’m leaving behind. We’ve planted roots, made friends and have built a sense of community. This is the only life that Giana has ever known. I’m just plain sad at the thought of leaving this “home” behind.
As Dominic and I have moved through this process over the last few weeks we’ve really not told anyone. We decided to wait until we had a final decision. We’ve had time to think things through. While I love my life in Georgia, “home” is where Dominic and Giana are. And it looks like we’ll be in Ohio.
Dominic will be leaving in early December and Giana and I will follow shortly thereafter once we get all of the move details taken care of.
To all my dear friends…I will miss you all so much. Thank you for your friendship and support. I love you all! Never goodbye. God bless you and I promise to keep in touch. xoxo
