New Directions

Well!  Its been a little while since either one of us blogged!  But there's been some big changes for both of us.  I've recently moved in to my new apartment in Gladstone, MO.  I absolutely love it.  It's a 700 sq ft. two bedroom place with brand new carpet! :-)  And for a more than reasonable price.  The nicest thing about the place is that it puts me only 10 minutes away from my lovely lady.  It's so nice being able to be with each other more often and not worry about a 45 minute drive home at midnight.

I do miss my parents though.  They have been such a strong support system since I moved out of my old apartment and into their home a little over a year and a half ago.  They're such good people.  It is true that the older we get, the more we begin to appreciate and realize how wise our parents truly are.  I have been blessed with a set of parents that have unconditional love for me, no matter what path I take in life.  They should be finding out their mission call next week which I know they have been looking forward to for years.  They're both such good people and are excited to start a new path in their lives with their mission forthcoming and a move to Idaho next month.

The other big thing that has changed for Karen and I, is that she has a new job working on Ft. Leavenworth.  She was pretty nervous about starting there because she's only worked in one other place for the past six years and that's at Hy-Vee.  I don't know anyone else our age that can say they've worked at the same place since they were 16 and never miss a single day of work, for anything.  That is a testament to her quality of person and what kind of worker she is.  I know she'll do great on post, and is already beginning to get settled in.

Oh!  And we only have 52 more days until our cruise!  Yahoo!  Anyways, that's just a little update on our lives.  Until next time...
