First off, I have to tell you that I have really enjoyed reading the discussions you all have been having over the last few months; I think the Missouri board has some of the nicest people on this website.

My 2 kids and I are moving back to Missouri after having been in Arizona for about 3 years, and let me tell you, WE CAN'T WAIT!!

Although we're not Missouri natives, as far as my children are concerned, it's home, and I so regret leaving. I waited a long time to post here because I didn't know if and when I'd be able to move back and I'm sure I would have just come across as a big old crybaby. But it's set, we're leaving May 26th!!

I already bought a house in Marceline, where I have family. I have read a few negative things written about Marceline, but I think it's all perspective; I love it, it's a great place to raise your kids and there's always a little something going on, even though it's a small town. I wish we had lived there these past three years!

Even though I'll be way up there in the northern part of the state, you can bet you'll be seeing me at one of your get togethers you have down south; distance is nothing but a road, and I LOVE to drive.

I'm sorry, I know there's nothing informative about my post, but I just had to put it out there. We're on our way!!!!

Such kind words!! We can't wait to meet you! (I love to drive, too! I coulda been a truck driver!)
I'm sure you will be very happy back HOME in Missouri! I'm sure that the kids will be in a better place, as well. There is Nothing like living in a small town!
May 26th, huh? That is just around the corner! It will be beautiful by then, too! All the wildflowers blooming.....

Gotta go see exactly where Marceline is.....

Default Wish I had thought of that!

I could have been paid for those 185,000 miles I drove in 3 years!!! And I've got another 1600 mile trip coming up; in a 26 foot uhaul with 2 kids, 2 dogs, and a hamster.

I think I can, I think I can........

Thanks for the welcome and the good thoughts. I'll be a Puker soon!!

BTW, Marceline is in Linn County, with Macon to the east and Chillicothe to the west, and Moberly southeast. Great for shopping trips to KC or Columbia!

Welcome to the forum. Don't be shy, post away. There are some in here that don't live in MO, wish they did or will be moving back soon. So all are welcome!
Good luck in your move. Hope time passes quickly for you.

Well, I'm green with envy. MariesBees - say a few prayers for the rest of us, especially me, trying to get HOME to Missouri. Maybe your connections will be better than mine.

Talking Armed with a 26ft truck and unlimited mileage.....

I'll come get you both!!

It'll take me two days to get to MO from Arizona, one day to unload my truck and drop my kids and assorted animals off with my sister, then I'll drive to UF in Gainesville, flick my oldest in the ear for not coming home for spring break, then give her a big old hug cause I really MISS her, go pick up kshe95girl, load her stuff, drop her off in MO, go back to MS and pick up Sassygirl2. The only string attached is one of you is going to have to move up North with me; you two flip a coin.
