The Grand Return to Ohio...week one in a glance

Cleveland in a paragraph...I have been pleasantly surprised! We live in Little Italy right on the train line, and walking distance to Case. There are great restaurants and bars all over the place. Much more to do as far as a metropolitan area goes than Toledo/Bloomington/Charleston were able to offer. Indians/Browns/Cavs alone give everyone a reason to get together and party on a regular basis. Westside Market and all of the brewery's on the West side of town are enough to make me ready to call this place home. Being close to family is great after being away for so long. We went to my grandma's this past weekend for Labor Day Goolash and a last bash at the beach. It was almost surreal being able to hop in the car and be there in less than an hour. Laura is getting MARRIED (holy crap) next weekend and I don't even have to take any time off school, or buy a plane ticket or anything - just getting in the car Friday after class and should be there by the time the rehearsal dinner begins. I do miss Charleston though, who wouldn't miss the weather and it's hard being away from all my beloved southern weirdos.

But for now I will just enjoy the exciting new things that come with living in Cleveland, I'll have enough time to miss Charleston once I'm trudging through seven feet of snow to get to and from class everyday.

Side note and something to remember - Rachel's wedding was July 11th. It was beautiful and perfect and at sunrise on a beach in Sanibel. On the last day we were there, Rachel and Laura and I were almost eaten by a shark. True story. We were rescued by a pod of dolphins.

I think this proves that we were all mermaids in a past life. And the disney movie about mermaids was based on our life.
