Columbus: House Hunt Edition

My main goal for this trip was to find our new home. I am very happy to report back that this goal was completed!! The weeks leading up to this were very stressful and I am very thankful that process is over!!  Besides the house hunt I was determined to do a little sightseeing. I was lucky to have a wonderful member of Chi Omega give me a campus tour.   Of course stop #1 was their house.  She also showed me all around campus but I won't bore you with all those photos.
Please notice the tree they carved into an owl?!
 Formal Living Room
Informal Living Room
Each senior class picks a quote and signs their names/hand print in the stairwell.
Paint Room.  Pretty cool feature and something our House Mother would love!
The house is 3 stories plus a basement.  Each floor has its own lounge area.  One lounge has its very own stove (separate from the kitchen).  I can not believe they trust their members with their very own freaking stove.  This would not happened at Eta Delta.  We couldn't handle a microwave.
This is not at their house..but pretty much everywhere else on campus.
After the campus tour, Mark gave me a tour of the football offices.
Entrance: National Championship Trophy to your left, Heismans to your right.
Woody Hayes Wall
I am obsessed with these chairs!
I think this is BEYOND cool. Woody Hayes' final chalkboard.
Indoor practice field aka awesomeness.
Indoor basketball
Mark's locker
They have two locker rooms. One at the stadium and this one at the practice facilities.
2 story weight room
Stadium based on the Greek Coliseum
Hopefully, we will add another year here...

  3. I love those helmet chairs haha! And Woody's last chalkboard is priceless - just wow! The Chi Omega house is beautiful. It's so much different than Southern Sorority houses though. I'm used to Greek columns everywhere at UGA & Bama I guess, lol. Love that paint room - how fun!

    Ohio State is a beautiful campus, thanks for sharing all the great photos. And I'm thrilled you found a home! What a burden off your shoulders. That's wonderful!
