Apartment Pics!

I suppose I finally feel settled in enough to allow a few pictures to be shown. Things are getting in order around here. Our new furniture was delivered yesterday - which really helps it feel more like a home. Yes, I will tell you - this place is TINY! If we would have started out here, it would have been fine. But living in our previous home (with my huge kitchen) has spoiled us. The downfalls so far are: 4 flights of stairs DOWN to do laundry (which costs $2.50/load and is used by 4 apartments), 2 flights up carrying groceries and a small, small kitchen. However, this place is pretty darn cozy and decorating a new space is always fun! :)

This picture was taken standing in the living room. That is the kitchen wall. Had to make up for hardly no cabinets with a couple purchases from IKEA (love it!)...the cart and the shelf on the wall.

This is half of the kitchen. It does have a new stove/microwave. The cabinets and counter tops are new as well, there just isn't very much of them!

And the other half of the kitchen. And that's all she wrote! If you need to be reminded of my previous kitchen, I think there is a picture of it on Facebook. Take this kitchen, multiply the size by like 10...and you have my old kitchen. I haven't really cooked in this kitchen yet, because I can't figure out how...but I'll work on that later!

This is our "dining room" or rather our dining nook!

This picture was taken right as you walk in the front door. It is most of our living room. The area that is covered in blinds is a large sliding door which leads to a small balcony. Our apartment overlooks the playground area and more apartment buildings. But there are SO many kids here. It's really amazing how many people have families here. I am still trying to get over the shock of it!

This is the front of our living room. Looks almost exactly like it did in our previous home!

Down a small hall is a bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Our bedroom is missing some decorations on the wall, the spare room is still a disaster and...who wants to see the bathroom? :) Well, there you have it. More info and pics to come later.

PS - it's a good thing that Luke and I get along well, because we have been spending ALOT of time together these past few days. Like, all of our time. We need friends! :)

    It looks great! Starting to look like HOME! It looks a lot more up to date than Jesse's apartment! :)

KC Adventures

So I've decided that I'm not so good at blogging. I meant to do this at least a couple times a week...not once every two weeks. It's a very busy time in my life so I apologize! I'll try harder! I have decided to focus this blog post on more FUN things! It seems my past posts have been serious tear-jerkers and while I enjoy them...it's time for some fun! Luke and I (the dorks that we are) have created a short list of adventures we would like to embark on when we get to KC. My plan is to document all these adventures and share them with you. This list is just a few things we have found so far...I'm sure it will grow. And as I look over it...most of it seems centered around food and sports. Hrmmm...let's get started. Oh, by the way, these are in no particular order. 1. Kansas City Royals game. No, we are NOT going to disown the Cardinals! We will always be Cardinals fans. However, Royals games are CHEAP! They have BUCK nights and areas of the stadium that ar...

Tough Stuff of 2014

What a good time of year to sit and reflect over the past twelve months. My life is pretty normal – to me. But I really do believe that other people view it as…not quite so normal. Just in the past twelve months I have had three addresses, moved to a different state, sold a house, and bought a house. Luke and I strive to follow where God leads us and that isn’t always easy. Today I would like to share the toughest thing that happened in 2014. I do know that our biggest blessing piggybacks on my toughest situation. Isn’t that how it usually works? Hard. Tearful. Embarrassing. Mortifying actually. That is how I would sum up 2014’s toughest situation.   This is difficult for me to type and I know will be even more difficult to actually post, but I believe it’s all part of the healing process. Let’s just rip the Band-Aid off here – In April, I was told my contract at the school I was teaching at would not be renewed. Whew, glad that’s over. I’m swallowing my pride and there’s a bi...

Clarity, Please?

Job hunting is never fun. Enough said. :) I just got home from my first job interview here in KC. And well, wasn't that interesting? I interviewed with a massage company...for (what I thought) a receptionist position. I got lost on the way there - but on a plus side I totally figured it out and got myself back on track (go me!). I had to drive literally through the city traffic to get there. I got off the interstate and proceed to, in my mind, the ghetto. It probably isn't though - I doubt I've ever been to a real ghetto. During the interview the lady tells me that we are in the ritzy part of town (uh, what?) and that customers will yell at me. Oh, and so will the therapists...I guess they think they run the place since they have a college degree. Um, I have a college degree. She also asked if I was familiar doing sales with a script. It appears that I have to call people and convince them to get a membership to this place. Okay....oh, and I make $8.50 an hour plus commis...
