The POD is gone!

Well, our house is officially "on the market" so feel free to come running to make an offer!

Seriously though, we not in any hurry to leave Cincinnati, but we really don't want to draw this process out either. And boy, what a process it's been. Things are sort of settling down now that we've gotten the house in shape for showings, but wow! it was a big project! As you can see...we filled the POD. There is a queen size bed, 2 8-foot tall bookcases, 2 leather reclining chairs, a coffee table, end table, another bookshelf, a dresser, and I'm pretty sure a partridge in a pear tree as well! Nick created this high-tech spider web system guaranteeing me that nothing would shift from the spot where we placed it:

As for our sweet Stella...she has been pretty amazing during all of this. It's been a challenge to pack as she is super interested in plastic bags and electrical cords and outlets (yes, we have toys...apparently they're not as much fun). Anyway, updates on her: she has a tooth! On the bottom, in the center, on the right. I haven't been able to get a photo yet, but once I do, I'll be sure to post it.

Last weekend we got mini escape from the chaos at our house to attend Lauren and Patrick's wonderfully beautiful wedding in Hudson, OH. Lucky for us that is close to Chagrin Falls where Stella's cousins live! So, while Nick and I had a night out with friends, she got to hang out with Jim, Ben, Tom and Mike and her Aunt Kim and Uncle Jon as well. It was a lot of fun for all of us. Those pictures to come soon!

This weekend Nick is headed to Columbus again to do some house-hunting. I'm letting him do the "weed-out" process so that I can come in for the final decision! We're having a lot of fun. We are a bit stressed and are very exhausted and look forward to returning to our "normal" routine sometime sooner than later. Please keep us in your prayers as this is an exciting yet challenging time for our family.
