This past weekend Bill and I started a new adventure in our lives - we moved to Missouri. We felt a bit like the pioneers starting out into the unknown - but we went East instead of West. We have made a few major moves in our lives but this one for me was the hardest! Again, I felt a little of what the pioneers must have felt as I sorted through my stuff deciding what I could take and what would have to be left behind as we are moving to a small apartment. The hardest of all, though, was leaving family and friends behind - lots of tears were shed and are still being shed as I sit in my little apartment wondering what on earth I am doing in Missouri. However, I know that Bill and I are supposed to be here and it will be an adventure finding out why. This morning I have been unpacking pictures and of course every one of them brings new tears as I am missing my family terribly. I am grateful for email, long distance phone service and airplanes. Hopefully, we will get some visitors - anyone who comes through Kansas City (actually we are in Liberty) had better stop in and say hi!

Dear Mary Ann and Bill,
We're so proud of you two, taking charge and going forth with this scary decision to move away from everyone. You are certainly an inspiration to us.
We miss you already and send our love.

Hey there! It won't be long before we see you guys. I love that you have a blog...what an easy way to keep in touch. (Isn't the modern world cool?) Susan and I were talking about your fun writing style. Well, we've been commanded to keep journals. And you are keeping in touch too. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone! I'm all for efficiency! Love you!
