Me? Miss the Midwest? Maybe a little...
When we made the decision to move to Omaha, we were excited that Ryan was going to be getting a great medical education, but we weren't sure what to think about the city itself. We (and pretty much everyone else we knew) were thinking...What's in Omaha, NE? Creighton University and... corn?? I know we make a lot of jokes, but after 4 years of calling Omaha home, it grew on us a bit. Lucky for us, we found that O-town has a lot more to offer than just obnoxious Husker fans and corn. As we find ourselves leaving Omaha (probably forever), there are a lot of things we are going to miss.

-my little cottage (a darling little place down the street from our rental where I picture a cute little old couple living and that always smells like fresh-baked cookies.)
-acorns
-fireflies
-black squirrels
-walks around Joslyn Castle (Misha's favorite pastime!)
-Old Market (the cobblestone roads, the Cinderella carriage, the farmer's market, Niche, Nouvelle Eve, Mangelsen photo gallery, Ted and Wally's)
-shopping at Yonkers, Von Maur, The Afternoon, Village Pointe, Regency Court, West Roads, Oak View
-McGladrey
-Hefflinger Dog Park
-the College World Series
-the short 8-hour drive home
-the umbrella sculptures at Children's hospital

We are hopeful that Portland will provide us with the same wonderful memories that Omaha did, but with better weather and scenery. Portland... Here we come!
