As most know this time our journey has landed us in St. Louis Mo for work. We are currently staying in Illinois until Monday (1/5) till we find out exactly where Dylan's' job will be. He signed the books at Local 2 (St Louis) yesterday and reports next Monday morning next to the Gateway Arch.
We wanted to avoid cold at all cost but it looks like we couldn't, for a few days at least, but we are trusting God has a plan for us being here and we are making the best of it. As we were setting up the trailer, we were approached by our neighbors --- we are parked next to another lineman and his wife! Its our first run in with another line family so that has been nice being next to someone who understands what we are doing and why we are here. I am already combating moisture unfortunately, all the cabinets are open above the chairs, we have pulled the mattress off the wall and I have purchased a small stock in damprid. After we find out where were are going to be permanently we are going to order a dehumidifier to hopefully help with this issue. Our water tried to freeze our first night here, but we are getting better at preventing that. Unfortunately the temps are getting lower so we are not 100% sure we wont freeze. 
We arrived here Saturday evening after a long raining trip from home to Cahokia, Illinois. Since neither one of us like the cold we decided on Sunday we would go ahead and see the sights, plus it doesn't look like its going to get any warmer!
The Gateway Arch is breathtaking and absolutely beautiful. Seeing sights like that make us both thankful that God is allowing us to travel and have the opportunity to see some of the great sights all through out America. No we did not go to the top. Heights and small spaces are not what I consider a good time and the line to get inside the museum was too long to be standing outside in the cold.
Mo-mo is doing good, but he doesn't know that he is getting booties and I am sure that is going to go over good since he doesn't even like wearing his sweaters and jackets.
We are hopefully that in the coming weeks more jobs will come available so we can find some where just a little bit warmer!
