It's been a long time since I've posted. I have some big news. In July I accepted a teaching job in Monument Valley, Utah.
It was hard to leave a place we were raised in and lived in for 40 years. But we traded the lush, green hills and fields of Missouri for the ochre stone arches and mesas of southeast Utah.
We're looking forward to new adventures in the mountains and desert. I have to pinch myself sometimes that I now live in such spectacular place. The Monuments are literally across the road from my house. And there are five National Parks within a four hour's drive.

Good for you! We'll be coming to visit soon. I'm assuming you have space for a few guests? :D
Seriously, congratulations taking a big step, and relocating to a spectacular area.

It's m onumental!
No need to change the profile name either. The "mo" stands for "mo-nument" instead of Missouri.

Ochre is such a cool word/color...I predict an easy adjustment, to less bugs, lower humidity and more sunshine.
