Success!


After spending the entire day with Mark house hunting in Ohio, I’d have to liken the experience to dating. With the latter you’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. Similarly, when looking for a new place to live in an unfamiliar city, you’ve got to tour a lot of dumps before you find just the right abode about which you can excitedly declare, “This is the one!” Of course, had we started our search on the opposite side of town, he would have found the perfect place to hang his hat at the beginning of the day instead of when the sun was going down. But it all worked out in the end.

His new home, a lge 2br/2ba upper w/ appl, c/a, w/d and gar, will be in the Toledo suburb of Perrysburg just down the street from the stylish urban village of Levis Commons. What a great area!

I’m excited for him as he begins this new chapter of his life, but it is also bittersweet as I hate to see him go. Nonetheless, I’m sure I’ll visit often. Not only is there upscale shopping, dining and entertainment right around the corner, but a whole new neighborhood just waiting to be explored. And even better with a great place to stay!

Uncle Norm just commented that he really liked the Perrysburg area. He spent quite a bit of time there when he worked for Spartan.

This photo is gorgeous! Great perspective! Not to invite ourselves along or anything (haha), but Matt and I would love to visit Mark with you sometime soon!
