It’s been 3 weeks since we arrived at our new home in Missouri. We’re still living out of suitcases, unpacking boxes, and visiting furniture stores daily, but we’ve been thankful to God for a smooth move thus far.

Dear Friends,

Everything is still here, slowly being migrated to the new system.
Plus if Tom and Nancy ever decide to embrace blogging themselves, the infrastructure is already there… 
Enjoy!
