What Is Round On The Sides and High In The Middle?

Yes, this is a riddle but it is also doubling as a big announcement. We have big news to share (to all of you out "there")! I know, I know, the suspense is killing you. The answer to the riddle is Ohio. Get it? Sorry, it's my only Ohio joke/riddle. Anyways, Jeff recently accepted a position on the football staff at Malone University in Canton, OH. He starts on Monday. What, you may be asking are B and I going to do? Good question. :-) We will begin the process of looking for a home and me finding a job, daycare, new doctors...etc. So please keep us in your prayers. We are praying that this is a speedy transition for our family so that we won't have to be apart for long.

Here are some interesting facts about Malone and Canton:
-One of the only college football games I got to see Jeff play was at the Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, against Malone.
-Malone's mascot is the Pioneer. I was a Pioneer back in HS!
-Canton is home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the William McKinley Presidential Library/National Monument, and the National First Ladies Library and Research Center.
-Canton has 5 area universities.
-Canton is 60 miles south of Cleaveland, 90 miles west of Pittsburgh, 130 miles NE of Columbus

A few other interesting facts (well maybe only to you Patty): Malone's mascot may be the Pioneer, but their mascot on the field is a moose (I have no idea why, it's kind of strange). And there is an IKEA in Pittsburgh which you can do in a day trip. Fun stuff, hope to talk to you soon.
