The other day my Facebook feed was being plastered with this infographic that claims 55% of Ohioans have liked the Buckeye state on Facebook and have the most state pride. Having just moved nearly three months ago, from my beloved Ohio, I can tell you that I talk about it...a lot. I kind of bring it up whenever I can.
Now, had you asked me four month ago if I would miss Ohio like I do now, I would have said absolutely not! Oh how naive I was. What do I miss? I miss this...
I miss the seas of green everywhere you go.
I miss having 10 miles to go and getting there in 10 minutes. You might as well just triple the time to miles here...it's really irritating.
I miss having the sun out later. Did you know Ohio has four more minutes of daylight over Virginia? Also, the sun sets here a full 30 minutes before it sets in Ohio.
Most of all I miss my family and my friends and my mom's food. I miss that a LOT.
Thankfully I'm only 34 days away from a nice four-day weekend home, but when I'm really missing home I like to pull out something that screams OH-IO to anyone who sees me (because that's what all good Ohioans do when seeing each other).

Is it safe to say that Ohioans have a lot of home spirit? I think it's safe to say that the answer is yes.
O-H-I-O
You know, I never really thought about the sun setting later in places that are further west but still in the EST time zone...interesting.
