Missouri Guata-parents?
I've noticed a few mentions lately of the show-me state. We live in Joplin. Any neighbors here?

Hi Shannon -
Ruby and I live in Tulsa but my grandmother lives in Miami so we are close to you fairly often. There's also a pretty good-sized group of families here in the Tulsa area.

We are from Missouri... just south of Kansas City. My husband's family is from Springfield and we used to live in Monett... now that's near you. I loved the country down that way.

Hello, Missouri neighbors! We're also just south of Kansas City. I just joined this board a couple of weeks ago, so it's nice to be able to chat and find people who are close by!

We live in the St. Louis area. We go to Joplin a couple times a year because my stepson is going to college there. He and our dd's are the best of buddies. Maybe we'll look you up next time we go!

I live about 45 min to an hour outside of St. Louis! I live in Troy, MO. I work in O'Fallon, MO. That might sound more familar.
This is my very first post and I am so excited to see so many people from around our area on here! We were just submitted into PGN without PA last Tues the 12th, I'm kindof nervous about a K/O. Talk soon!
