We're not in Northwest Ohio anymore.  In fact, we are 148 miles from Northwest Ohio - officially placing us in NortEAST Ohio.  I know it doesn't sound all that drastic, and perhaps I'm slightly joking, but the difference really is noticeable.  This morning I made my first trip to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and was pleasantly surprised by the nature, scenery, hills, and hiking trails only about 25 minutes from my new house. I love to be in nature while I spend time praying.  My love for the outdoors began in college when my friends, David & Jason, took me to Seneca Rocks in West Virginia and it continued after college as I spent 5 days of solitude contained in an 11 day backpacking trip in the Rocky Mountain National Park through GCM's Wilderness LT program.  Nature is one place where I am truly refreshed, and I'm so glad to be in NorthEAST Ohio which seems to offer a wide variety of options compared to the flat farmland of the NorthWEST.
