almost one month in Ohio

it's almost been a month since we moved to Ohio...I can hardly believe it! A lot has happened since my last update...

• Ali graduated preschool

• We went camping for 4 days over Memorial Day Weekend and had surprise visitors from Bruno and Amy! 

• I got my Ohio driver's license and license plates

What my license plates look like

• Bethany and I braved taking 3 kids to the Cleveland Zoo. We couldn't figure out how to collapse the stroller though...

thank goodness the stroller fit into the backseat not collapsed! 

• My besties threw me a surprise "welcome back to Ohio & Happy Birthday party" at Heidi and Matt's. They are the best!!! What more could you ask for other than your husband, your friends, tequila, cupcakes, mexican food, and board games?! Thank you all again <3 xoxo

• Shopped for car insurance, switched companies, and saved ~$75 a month...one of the benefits of living in Ohio! and being a member of USAA because of Jordan 
• Hanna's 6th grade end of the school year choir concert

• MY BIRTHDAY!! We had a few celebrations... ;) 

Brunch at Blue Canyon
