Somebody change our status, we are here! :)
« on: June 10, 2009, 06:31:24 AM »
After 2+ years of talking, dreaming, praying, and planning, here we are! We havent actually made it "home" to Lander yet (will be there later today) but we have spent our first night in Wyoming as Wyomingites instead of visitors.

I don't think I ever really posted a true introduction, though I have been hanging around here for a couple of years now. I am 24, my wife is 21, and we have been married for 3 years today. I am a country boy, grew up on my parents and grandparents farm in the hills of southern Kentucky, on 70 acres bordering Dale Hollow Lake. My sister and I were the fifth generation on that farm. There were just two of us kids, my wife was the third of nine in her family. We have left all of our families, our friends, our church, and our good jobs for the opportunity to contribute towards and be a part of a "Free State" project, and build a new life for our future family here in Wyoming. It is hard to believe that we are really here after all this thinking and planning! This is my wife's first visit to the state, as she was not able to accompany me on my two previous trips. I am looking forward to seeing her face as she sees the country for the first time today, it is so different from southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee.

Gotta run now, but just had to post that WE ARE HERE! :)

When ya git to Lander you'll see an old grain elevator on the south end of town that my cousins and I used to shoot WHEELBARROWS full of pigeons, rats, squirrels, mice and any other hapless creature unfortunate enough to move into sight picture of the little pump Remington I still have. My grand parents and lots of previous ancestors are buried up above the Best Western on Mount Hope. WELCOME!!!

Thanks for all the well-wishes and welcomes, it is great to be here. We are settled into our temporary home here in Lander, and my wife got a great job offer today, so we will both be gainfully employed. We are fixing to make a run to Riverton to pick some stuff up there, drop off the Uhaul, and let my wife go through another interview, just in case.

Now I am just waiting for the rain to stop and the clouds to lift so my wife can see what a day in Wyoming without rain is like :)

Thanks Shawn!

Actually Big Ugly, I have been thinking about PMing you and seeing if we could get together sometime. I have something I want to talk to you about. Drop me a PM sometime if you are available for lunch or whatever, I'm buying.
