New to the site from Missouri

[oeshpdog2]

Good morning fellow Disney Fans. My wife and I are DIS Board newbies and we are excited that we have found this site.

A short bit about us. We've been married for almost 17 years (this December). We don't have children. My wife is breast cancer survivor going on her 5th year now so this is a big year for us and we just got back from WDW to celebrate the milestone.

We both work from home. She is a CPA and works as a consultant and I am a Professional Travel Agent, although that is not my purpose for being on this site so don't run scared. Ha! We love to share our stories and pictures from our trips and also learn from everyone else's experiences and share in their stories as well.

We live in the southwest corner of Missouri. I guess that is all for now.

You live in my old stomping grounds!! I grew up in Joplin and have a brother and both parents still living there.

Welcome to the Dis boards!!

Welcome to the board! I know you will find a wonderful reprieve here from the Missouri atmosphere outside of Disney. I originally came from Kansas City and we try and visit Disney once a year. I now live in Iowa...YUCK! No disney store up here or nothing.

Anyway I have family near joplin so welcome!

Welcome!

Glad to see so many Missourians on here. We also frequent Branson and Silver Dollar City to ease our WDW depression when it sets in. We were actually there this past Friday, the first Friday we were home from WDW. We kept comparing everything to how it is at "The World."

Hi from another Missourian, I live near St Louis. I have never been to Joplin but have been to Springfield and Branson. Very pretty area. Welcome aboard and hope to see you again soon.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. This January is a big moment because it is my wife's 5 years from the end of her Chemo. Naturally we are thinking about celebrating back at WDW and making it a big hoop-dee-doo!

Thanks again
