For the past year we have lived here in Ohio because Andrew got the IRS job here in Cincinnati. We moved to Ohio last year, June of 2005. Well now he has been offered a promotion in St. Louis, Missouri area! This means we are moving once again, in July of 2006 (a year and one month later). This is exciting, but bitter sweet to have to leave Ohio, just as it was growing on us and we came to love it here.
To our friends we made here in Ohio, we will definitely stay in touch, being that we are only 6 hours away! We will have to visit one another here and there making it a weekend visit. As for our West Coast friends and family, with us moving to MO is not really any different from us living out here in Ohio. Living in Missouri, we WILL be THREE states closer to CA! But it is still not quite close enough, and we will have to stick to plane trips to visit. Open invitation, come out to St. Louis, Missouri and visit us! *Come see the giant arch! The St. Louis Arch is 630' tall and wide, and it is the tallest national monument in the USA! It is taller than Morro Rock! :)
On Saturday we drove to MO. and found a two bedroom apartment, signed a 3 month lease. We figured a 3 month lease would be enough time to get to know our surroundings and find a home to buy. If we need extra time, we could just renew a month to month with the apartment. This will be our first house! We are long time renters, tired with renting and ready to buy a home. The only change is the state. Now it is in Missouri and not Ohio or California.
His new job entails a 7 week training period in New York, so while he is in training I will be moving to the new apartment in MO. We drove by Andrew’s future work place at the IRS in Missouri. His work will be 10 minutes away from our apartment and also potential neighborhoods, when we look at homes.
We are content with where life takes us; it always seems to work out and fall into place for us. Andrew and I are blessed to have each other and the life we live. It is an adventure from state to state. Hopefully Missouri will be for a while, long enough to settle down, buy a home, start a family, live life with happiness and friends.
OOOH, I guess I will have to rename my BLOG to "My Random Thoughts & Life in Missouri"

You'd better stay in touch! I will promise to come and visit :)
Who is this ANONYMOUS? We will keep in touch with every one! For our Ohio buddies, we will be just a 6 hour drive away, come on over and visit. I will continue to blog about stuff for people to be updated on us.
Martiel and Andrew
