Hi, I’m Leah! I am a Massachusetts native who has been living “The Good Life” here in Nebraska for a little over 3 years now – and loving every minute!​

When I first decided to make the move, I had never set foot in Nebraska, but I took myself on a little tour of the Old Market via Google Maps (thank you, technology!) and knew it was going to be a good fit. Cobblestone streets lined with the cutest flower boxes, street musicians, tons of restaurants, happy hours…and reverse happy hours?! Yes please!​

Leading up to the move I was *constantly* being asked, “Why Omaha?”, “Are you crazy?”, “Is there anything but cornfields there?” Truth be told, I had no good answer aside from a gut feeling and a craving for change. Even today when meeting new people out and about (which is so easy to do out here, btw) I still get the question, “Why did you come to Omaha?” I struggle to articulate the why, which is where this blog comes in. Rather than try to sum up the spirit of Omaha in a scripted 3-sentence response, I want to show you my why.
