Here's a sampling of a conversation I've been having recently.
"I heard you're moving."
"Yes, we're excited."
"Where are you going?"
"Winston-Salem."
"Witch trials?"
"Cigarettes."
My answer is always tongue-in-cheek. Of course Winston-Salem is far more than the RJ Reynolds company. When we first experienced Winston-Salem, Cherilyn and I fell in love with the city. We loved the setting, the history, the diversity, and above all - the people. Today we are in our new hometown looking for a new address. Cherilyn and I have been married for seven years and this will be our third state we've called home (South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina). We have collections of license tags and voter IDs, but everywhere we've lived has been home. We are looking forward to finding a space that will be ours in our new hometown - a backyard for our children to play, a nook to have breakfast, and a porch to swing. But we are most looking forward to expanding our family and being a part of the family tree that is St Timothy's.
