Greetings Ohio!

After a whirlwind 48 hours of traveling we all arrived safe and sound in Ohio.  Mike and the kids made the 10-hour drive from Norfolk, Virginia while Madeline and I flew into Columbus late on Friday evening.  Prior to the Wednesday before our departure we had been planning on making a leisurely drive west after spending 2 days in VA but that plan came to a screeching halt when we learned that our furniture would not be able to arrive until the end of July unless one of us accepted it on Saturday the 22nd.  We were all quite exhausted and a bit moody but in the end, getting our furniture sooner than later was the best plan.  In truth though, none of this could have been done without the awesome help from Grandma Liz!

Adios Espana

As our time in Spain quickly came to an end we made sure to say our "goodbye's" and to pack in as much as we could before leaving.  We were very blessed to have such an amazing group of friends who were there for us during our last few days hosting us for meals, eating out with us, and loaning needed household goods.  Our two years overseas flew by and we have missed Rota more than we could have imagined!
