I moved to Iowa!

I spent countless hours over the past 23 years, learning about my family heritage.  As for most, our ancestors migrated to the rich soil of Iowa to farm. In the mid-1800's my ancestors made their home in or near Lucas County, Iowa and Warren County, Iowa and my Quaker families in Keokuk County, Iowa.  A few years back, I visited Iowa with my father and he took me on a way back tour of his old childhood stomping grounds of Lucas County, Iowa. While touring the towns my families once thrived in many years back, I found myself falling in love with the small town vibe and I would soon after leave my home in Dallas, Texas to make a new home in the gorgeous town of Williamsburg, Iowa (Iowa County), population less than 4000. My first winter has me questioning my decision to move here, but from what the locals tell me when spring arrives, I'll forget all about the cold winters past. 

Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa.
