Closer to Cleveland

I am writing this from my hotel bed in Marietta, Ohio. It is about 3 hours away from our destination. It was a tiring day for all of us. Liesel worked like a Trojan in our apartment, cleaning and tidying most of the morning. I packed our car (and amazingly everything fitted in!) and Nathan was walking around with a bit of uncertainty. We left Raleigh at 10:30 when the temperature was about 20C and started our 7 hour trip to Marietta. The temperature has dropped significantly and was 8C when we got here! The major part of the journey is over and hopefully the 3 remaining hours will fly by tomorrow........ because we are tired of traveling and moving. All we want is a place to call home and God-willing, we will have that by 12pm tomorrow................
