Heading to Ohio

I have just not had the motivation to write on my blog lately, it's weird how it kind of goes in spurts.  But I did want to announce that we have officially made our decision about PhD schools (phew!) and we are heading to Columbus, Ohio in August.  I am 1/3 part terrified, 1/3 part excited, and 1/3 (or more) part a nervous wreck :)  Right now I am mostly worried about the actual move and making a 27 hour trip with Kaylee stuck in the car that whole time.  Richard is SO excited, it's fun to see.  He's pretty much planned out our whole trip already and spends every night looking up facts about Ohio or places to stop on the way.  Neither one of us has ever lived out of Utah for an extended period of time so we'll see how it goes- Go Buckeyes!

Congratulations! That will be so much fun.

Don't worry about the ride. She could be fabulous. We go to Canada every year and it's a long drive too. Just make sure you have lots of toys, food, and her favorite things. She will probably sleep a whole lot. Remember that the drive will take a lot longer with the little one. She needs to get out a lot more than we do. Take that time. It's fun to play. And, just in case, don't forget to pack in an accessable place towels and lots of wipes and an extra set of clothes. Just in case she gets car sick and throws up all over. She isn't used to moving that much. (we've had it happen a couple of times)

Good luck. it will be fun.

Congrats!!! That is super exciting. Plus it's only something like an 8 hour drive to D.C.! Maybe I'll come visit. My roommate is from Columbus. I hear great things about it! Good luck to you two!

We are excited for you guys to enter a new chapter of your lives but also sad to see you go. Richard and you won't change much in appearance or abilities but Kaylee will and that will be especially hard not seeing her on a frequent basis.
