Hi, you may remember me as Jan IN or Jan-n-IN. I'm no longer in IN (Indiana) but now in MO (Missouri). We moved back to Joplin, MO in March of this year. You may recognize Joplin as the town that was hit by the EF5 tornado last year (May 2011).
My husband's family lives here and we decided to move back in April 2011. He is an electrician (union) and this is his home local. We figured it would take a couple of years before we could move, but when the tornado hit, it kind of sped things along a bit (he came down here to work in August last year and I and our youngest followed finally in March, when our house sold).
We are getting ready for our final year of homeschooling this year. It's been a long 23 years and I can't believe the youngest is going to be a senior.
In addition to our move, we've also managed to downsize our home. We had 3 of our 4 children (dds) living with us until last August. Our third daughter left for her first semester of Bible College last August (although she has been home for the summer). In March, when we moved our oldest remained in Indiana with her younger sister (our second dd) and our son-in-law, and granddaughter (the only reason I hated to leave Indiana). She decided to join us in April, but has since found a full-time job in Springfield, MO and has finally moved into her own apartment (she's 30).
Like I said, a lot of changes.
Jan
