My New Favorite Place

Parkville, MO. Kory took me up here for the first time on the 4th of July, and I immediately fell in love with it. Missouri has not been my favorite place to live, but if the Lord wants us to stay in this area, we'd like to live here. (Charlie really likes it, too, although the 2 mile walk around the park on the bank of the Missouri River got him a little tuckered out!)

Bad Doggie...Again

Do you think maybe...JUST MAYBE Charlie was mad that we left him alone?

He was sent to his room (since he destroyed his BRAND NEW BED.)

We're NOT going back east next week to see our families.
The corporate headquarters of the school I work for is not paying me my overlap checks until mid-July: a week after we planned to leave. Those overlap checks were to pay me for the old teacher contract I had which overlapped the pay period of my new IC contract.
Those overlap checks were our vacation money.
Which won't come until after vacation.
I really wanted to see VPJWS.
I really wanted to see Eli who's not even born yet but will have been which is why we planned our trip for July.
I just miss my family.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...
