"Meet Me In Saint Louis, Louis..."

Yes, we are here! We arrived yesterday. The move has gone pretty smooth so far. Of course, that is due to the two awesome men who were hired to move us. Marvin and Abel from New World Van Lines did a great job. They have a giant truck with the coolest horn. Ian had fun getting into the cab and pulling on the horn. 




It was really hard and sad for us to say good bye to "RandyGen" and other good friends we made in Houston. We will miss them so much. But we are happy we arrived here safely and hope to sign a lease agreement tomorrow so that Abel and Marvin have somewhere to bring our stuff. 

Monsanto generously provided an agent for us to help us locate a home. Joann is very knowledgeable and has been so helpful. We saw a lot of dumps today and figured out pretty fast we had to up our price or move further from Monsanto. We're staying in an awesome hotel, also courtesy of Monsanto. We really appreciate all they have done for us thus far and are very excited about our new relationship with them. Below is a little video of us at the Marriot Residence Inn. Hopefully we will blog again soon with a video of our new home!

Oh wow your kids are so cute. I feel like the last time I saw them they were little blobs, but now they are real people! Cool

Taylor & Shawn introduced us to the fabulous St. Louis City Museum -- a must-visit! It has a fantastic several-stories-up outdoor wire sculpture maze where you find yourself climbing along airplane wings, through wire tunnels, into the mouth of a dragon...unbelievably cool! I don't know how they can get liability insurance. Leave the kids home the first time you go, so you can really explore!
