We finally have internet connections again and are so happy. It's amazing how much we rely on it now. Anyways, that is the reason for the drought in updates. Anyways, we made it to Missouri and the move was fairly uneventful. On the day we left Des Moines there was 3-4 inches of snow on the ground and the temperature was 1 degree F. By the time we got to O'Fallon, the temperature was around 15 and that was at 8 pm. A couple of days later it felt like spring with temps in the high sixties. My point being that weather wise we couldn't be happier. We do realize that 70 degrees in the end of December probably isn't normal, but in Des Moines I'm pretty sure it is unheard of.
We love it here so far. It took us a good 4 days of solid work to make this house feel like our home, but we are finally moved in and settled. We even got invited to a New Years Eve party and had a chance to meet a few really nice couples from our ward. We are still in shock that there are so many convienences so close by- Walmart, Target, Grocery Stores, and just about anything else you could imagine within a couple of miles of our house. 5 minutes to Church, 20 to the Temple, I could go on, but I won't bore you.
Basically we are happy and we think we will like it here a lot once we make some friends and start getting involved in fun activities.
We will post some pictures soon, but probably not today.

Happy New Year & good luck getting settled in! Sounds like a great place to live. I actually had a friend from Rick that was from St Charles - it's probably a fairly big place, though...
We are still trying to decided where we want to "settle" someday. We are good in AZ for now, but have decided this won't be our final stopping place! :)
YAY! I am glad that you are all settled in now. Can't wait to see pics of your new place and surroundings!
I'm glad that you guys made it okay and are getting so settled in. It sounds like life is going pretty good there for you guys. Good luck with the rest of getting settled.
Glad you made it safe and are so excited about your new home. You guys will love it there, I can feel it now! Your home is beautiful! Can't wait to hear how all the fun setting up the house and getting to know friends goes!
