What's Round on Both Ends...

...and high in the middle? Besides me, that is. 

Ohio! And it's official: we are relocating because Sean has been promoted to Regional Manager. He finished the year as the top aesthetic rep in the country, ending his year at a ridiculously high percent-to-goal for the toughest quarter yet. We're so proud of him and so happy that the extra hard work and time he's committed to his company over the last year and a half has paid dividends. I think he's the youngest regional manager in the company too (that's not confirmed... sounds good though), which is quite an accomplishment. 

As any of you who've been along for the relo-roller coaster know, we've been hoping against hope since the opportunity presented itself back in October that we would be relocated before the baby comes. It's really down to the wire now, but it's happening! Since the market is so depressed these days, we will not be selling our Hoboken condo or buying a new house in Cleveland just yet. Instead, we'll keep this place and rent it out (anyone interested in a close-to-Manhattan apartment?) and we've found a really lovely space in a gorgeous restored hotel apartment building from the 1930s right smack in the middle of University Circle and Wade Oval and the museums and Case campus. This may even have been the very building that my Great Grandma and Grandpa lived in when my Grandpa brought my Grandma home to meet his family for the first time (it was either this one or Judson Manor next door). We can even see Gehry's Lewis building from the baby's nursery windows! Thanks to my Aunt Jan's connections, my doctor of six years when I lived in Ohio, whose practice is now closed to new patients, has agreed to deliver our son in Cleveland. I gave my notice today, which was bittersweet since I really liked working at the salon this past year and will miss the friends I've made there. All that's left to do now is pack!
