Welcome DDuck, and may your blessings continue! My wife and I will hit the 19-year marriage mark August 8th, but hope to keep it going for a long time to come, too!

Being the
smallest county in Texas, it could be easy to miss!
But then, that would mean that you probably also missed that it is (now 2nd I believe) the fastest growing county in the Nation. Eek.
25 miles from Downtown Dallas, due East.
On the map you'll see a lake, Ray Hubbard. we are between that and Greenville to our East.
To me, its the best. Big city shopping, small town feeling. Lake is < 1 mile, and Bass Pro Shop is opening in November < 1.5 miles from the house.
Makes me happier than a gopher in soft dirt.

I actually live in Heath, a suburb of Rockwall. I plan on taking my CHL class at Texas Handgun Academy, its fairly close and they do your fingerprints, photos, and notary work.
DaveT--- My name is Donald, but I go by Don.
I have now posted my new guy info in the correct place.
