Five years ago today JR and I started a new adventure together, not knowing what life would bring us. We ended up finding a home in the small town of Leland, where we knew no one. We were excited to have found a country home where we could have our horses, dog, and cat. JR continued to work with Smith Engineering in Yorkville and I worked at Leland School. We started getting to know people and developing friendships, some that would last a life time. JR has since studied and passed his EI, SIT, and Missouri PLS exams. I went back to school to continue my education with a Masters in Education. In 2005, along came Wyatt. Boy has life changed since then. He is such a blessing and has brought such a joy to our lives. We ask ourselves the famous question...what did we do before Wyatt. We have recently made a huge decision in our lives to move to the St. Louis area. JR took a new job with TWM and we found a duplex in Shiloh until we find a home were we can continue our country living. Doesn't seem like it's been 5 years since we started all of these adventures. We look forward to seeing what life brings us in another 5 years.

Congratulations you guys! We hope you have a great anniversary. Sorry we missed your get together in September. We already had a commitment that day and tried to re-arrange our schedules but couldn't. I had hoped we could still have met up with you but the weekend went by so fast. I'm glad to hear you had a great party with everyone. Makes us sad to know we missed it... Hope all is going well for you three and that your adjustment to the new place and area is getting easier and easier. Elizabeth - I promise I will email you soon. Best wishes to you all and again, Happy Anniversary! Fondly, Jack and Diane
