onward...

i wanna go home. home is missouri. not illinois. not kansas. it's that place where our life together really began. where i first noticed the change in seasons. where i learned to appreciate long walks. where i learned it was okay to play in the rain. where i want my kids to grow up. where my husband loosens his tie and relaxes. where my kids tell me "dad is different here". where we feel comfy and safe and warm.

the application and money have been sent and received. i remember when marty took the illinois bar not that long ago. and when he said he would NEVER do that again! i am always amazed at what he will do for our family so that we have that comfy, safe and warm feeling of home. it's all good.

and we're ready.
