I'll be curious to see how well I hold up. I can't imagine I've adapted too much to the warm after a year and a half.

Congrats! (Minus the having to live in Cedar Rapids part).

I'm still aways off from living in CR. I actually would be more inclined to live in North Liberty.

Congrats and welcome back!

I have a house for you to buy about that time...

Don't listen to Pants CR is a great place to live...just stay away from the SE side. NL looks nice but from my little experience there it had a huge population boom (they are actually doing a special census for them) and the town infrastructure especially the road network has struggled to keep up.

00 can shed more light on this.

If I have to see one more of these ******* things on Facebook I'm going to scissor kick that person.


Well, it's official! We have some AMAZING, but shocking news! WE'RE EXPECTING!!! woot woot! A little over 7 weeks and counting. I know we're shocked too!! We can hardly believe it ourselves!! We weren't going to post it, but since you're all family & friends, we wanted to make it official. We're too overwhelmed to keep it a secret!!! Who would of guessed that of all people WE would be expecting?! But we are!! We're expecting Santa Claus in just 7 weeks! Copy and paste if you have a sense of humor. Let's see how many people read the whole status! Hohoho ☃

George Will was at his literary best today. I am talking writing and not ideology. Keep in mind I fought against the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War and am rarely going to agree with Will but always check him out as a thesaurus exercise. I did happen to agree with him today but wanted to share his word gems of the day:

I love to read Scalia's supreme court dissents for the same reason. He's the only justice who throws in words like "pure applesauce" and "jiggery-pokery". He's also the best at making "I respectfully dissent" mean "you all should go **** yourselves"

You are correct on NL, but they're trying. Biggest thing we found was it didn't actually feel like a community. On our cul-de-sac with 10-ish houses...by the time we left, there were two original owners of the houses when we moved in (or that were built since we did). This was over 6 years...so in 6 years, 80% turnover on owned houses. It's just such manic expansion that it's almost too much...for us anyway.
