before you worry, st. louis will probably never be "home home" for either of us but i had the thought last night that john and i were beginning to make ourselves at home in this city. a couple vignettes that come to mind . . .
john watching the football game with a few guys from church;
wandering about downtown, getting to know my area better and appreciating the local architectural marvels like the Old Cathedral and Old Courthouse;
actually having people to hug or say, "hi" to when we go to church.
i'll keep building the list because it helps to recognize how blessed we are to be here!
