Finally, we are in KC. Granted, it is for Thanksgiving, but Matthew will also be staying here to start work on Monday, and I have a job interview, so it is similar to having Arrived, just without stuff, a house (yet), or the pets.
And I am endlessly exhausted, and want to sleep for days- and [...]

The landlord wasn’t kidding when he called our new place ‘charming.’ It is a 2 bedroom bungalow with a few extra rooms, including one in the basement, and a cute backyard. It also has a porch swing!

Things I Am So Looking Forward to About Kansas City:
1. Being close to people: Matthew’s parents; my parents; Matthew’s friends in Arkansas; friends in KC: Kevin, Tabby, Kate; Sara and Mike in St. Louis; Stephanie and Jason in Chicago; my godparents; my grandmother and cousins; and friends in Columbia. Being closer to just about everyone [...]

1. Having it not only encouraged but expected that you will be drinking during weekend brunch. Love the $1 mimosas served before noon. Matter of fact, I’ll miss drinking on patios- and eating outside- at any time during the day (and most times during the year).
2. ACL. I do hope we come back for this [...]

Matt is needing the computer tonight as apparently the NBA has an “unbelievably awesome” lineup tonight, so I wanted to make my daily post early. And I want to start a two-part post about leaving Austin.
Things I Will Not Miss About Austin/Texas:
1. I-35. Hands down.
2. Cranes building freaking condos, both of which are [...]

1. If either of the Olsen twins wants to make a movie that does remotely well, it’ll require looking at a storyline that does not involve twins.
2. If your football team hasn’t shown up to play yet, this isn’t your season.
3. Butter croissants at Starbucks are one of the worst things for you [...]

November 14th- Board Lucy
November 15th- Fly with Matthew to KC, arrive just after 10 and rent car, spend day looking at houses and hopefully find one, decide on [...]

Today was a long, productive day with trips to: Galaxy Cafe, Super Target, socialization class for Lucy, Hem, The Container Store, Ikea and the Matt’s Famous El Rancho before home. Ex-haust-ing, but we are in good shape to get a lot of things packed without trolling liquor stores, which Matthew has pointed out is [...]
