Thank you all for your kind words. Luckily I just signed in to my new assignment last week on a 3 year controlled tour. If I had to move again my husband would divorce me!!!!

If anyone is in the St Louis area, I am pretty sure the promotion party will be at the Scott Club on Friday. COme have a beer, or two, or three on me.
