    I love the Lake! I moved here full time in 1998 and have never regretted it. No way will I ever move back to the city. Where you from?

    Pretty well I think, I believe that background checks are in the works but I am not part of that process. I think that they are shooting for the first part of October for hiring.
    Good Luck!

    Kale, until you know the area you might need some help choosing an area to live in. Not sure what they have told you about living in district or not?? Laurie, Gravois Mills are in district. Sunrise Beach, Versailles are just north and south of district.
