How I got to Moberly

Why Moberly?

Long story short - we both lived our twenties in urban settings - Los Angeles and Chicago. Adversity led us away from our cities, eventually to Columbia, Missouri - a college town with inflated real estate prices, traffic, and opinion of itself. Dee's job in Moberly prompted us to investigate housing and find our dream house (another post). As if we were charmed, I found a job locally and for the first time in years, I am happy to be employed.

We joke that Moberly, Missouri is in France. Why? I fantasize that a French town has interesting honest character to it; that the French know what is worthy and have the right attitude. Truly, it is more about the fact that we could live better - like we imagine the French do!

We like many things about the place - from our own dwelling, to the parks, the alleys and the trains. We enjoy this town and our life here.
