We have moved back to the States. Mixed emotions were plentiful as we made the difficult decision to leave Italia, but we were greatly enriched after living there for nearly 6 months. No regrets whatsoever.
While doors opened to move there, doors closed for us to be able to stay. We had no guarantees when we went last year, but we didn't dare miss an opportunity for our hearts and world to expand! Italia forever changed us, and we are thankful. The slower pace, and uncomplicated lifestyle that it offered served as an incubator for deep purposes to be lived out in the next phases of our lives.
Now what, you ask?! We are pursuing an opportunity for Wayne to practice in the Midwest. More details will be shared once they are firmed up.
Thanks for coming with us and hope all of you can see bella Italia for yourselves in the very near future.

Wow! Well, it sounds fun while it lasted. You made me want to travel back there. Good luck!
Well! Welcome back! My kids have a book that says "we are a little sad about where we are leaving and a little glad about where we are going." We have felt that way every time we have moved - I wonder if that is how you feel now? We are glad to be settled in one place now, but we are also the better for the experiences we have had and the people we have met in the other places we have been, so we wouldn't change all our moves for anything. I think you are right when you say that your time in Italy will be not only a wonderful time and memory, but a changing point. We're glad you had opportunity to go. Maybe we'll see you at Happy?? I meant to give you our blog again a long time ago - it is mandmnews.blogspot.com - visit anytime!
With mixed emotions(joy and happiness on our part)we are glad to hear you will be nearer to us and might get to see you at some point in time. Best wishes in getting settled and we sure could use a good chiro here in the southeast. Think about it!!
Love Carl and Gloria
Just wanting to say, "Thinking about you," and "Hope things work out well for you."
Hey. Good luck. Sure it has been a great experience, and a big decision. Stop in if you ever swing thru Indy.....
Dear Wayne and Angie..welcome back..and best of luck in your new venture...knowing that 'doors will always open' where others have closed. Sending love and hugs, Bren
Hi - Was so happy to find your blog! Wayne, I'm not sure you remember us - but you stayed at my mom and dad's quite a bit years ago - The Pikcilingis's. I'm married now and live just a few miles from the Altamont Grounds. You've been around the world since then! Hope things are well. Hi from all of us in Albany, NY!! Take care. Julie and Mike McCoy
And when will "Blogging from Branson" start? :-)
Hi Wayne,
We happened upon your blog tonight. It was nice to read about your adventures and see your pictures. You've been busy!
I'm not sure whether you'll remember us or not. Dave is Gordon and Sue Howe's son. We live in the Albany, NY area. We hope all is well and we'd love to keep in touch. Can we add your blog link to our blog? Our blog site is howehousehold.blogspot.com
Take care.
Welcome back! :)
