What's been happening lately? Well May through June has been graduation season, but this year has been the first that we have both been out of school.
Big thing, since our last post, we moved to Cleveland in November! That means we canceled the gym membership we had after only about three months. That's the thing we missed most about moving away from Cuyahoga Falls. Hollie is much closer to work now though. In fact, we recently bought bikes and are considering getting bus passes, so we think we're going to try to sell Hollie's car. We don't need the extra gas and maintenance fees and we can have a better impact on the environment. The house we are renting is in a nice Cleveland neighborhood just a few blocks from Lakewood. It is a two level home and we live in the upstairs. As of this blog post, no one is living beneath us. We are very close to Edgewater Park on Lake Erie!
Since we haven't been busy with school and had moved to a new city, we decided it was time to join a church for the community. We found West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church and we love it. It's not a traditional church that tells you what dogma to believe, but UUs have had a history of letting people explore different beliefs. UUs come together as a community for social action, to explore spiritual issues, and to lead purposeful lives. We've met a lot of great people there and learned a lot. We think that West Shore is such a great thing that we joined a new Tech Team, which is making progress improving the audio and visual elements of the services and making media available online for everyone to see and hear!
Babies have been popping out all around us! Our friends Anne and Jay added baby Will to their family. We visited Kristina and Henry for the second time in South Carolina after she had baby Ruthlynn. Born just a few days before her was Jason and Jessie's second baby Mackenzie. Our friends Ben and Sonja just gave birth to baby Sienna. Mike and Leslie added a second boy, Oliver, to their family. And we recently found out that Jeff and Robin will be having twin girls soon. In May, Leanna and John were married. Again, we were both in the wedding party. So Hollie and all her siblings are now hitched. And knowing how Leanna is with kids, it surely won't be long before there are more babies around.
