Kansas

Well hello internet. We're baaack! 

So much to say about the last few weeks and why I have been absent, but we'll get to that later. A big reason has been our move from GA to KS, and we're finally here in Kansas.

We got into Ft. Leavenworth a little before 4 pm Central today and went straight to the housing office, just in time to get keys to 2 different houses for us to check out. One is is ready for us to move in immediately, but has carpet in the living/dining. The other has laminate in the living/dining, which we surely prefer, but just had tenants move out, so we'd have to either take it as is or wait up to 10 days for it to be painted/cleaned.  We have the weekend to decide since the office closed at 4:30.

Emmy still has a bad cold, and of course she is sleep deprived and doesn't quite know which end is up. Several low key days of no traveling with regular naps and bed times are definitely in order so we can hopefully get our happy, well behaved little girl back.  She is doing well, considering all the illness, and total disruption to her schedule and life.  But, she's definitely not herself and that's stressful on us and of course I'm sure she is feeding off of our anxiety.

We are settled into the hotel on post for the weekend and just plan to relax and maybe check out the area. Charles and I never shopped for good winter coats before we left the Southeast so that needs to be a number one priority since the high today was like 28. My poor hands were already dry and now this cold dry air is zapping them even worse! Fortunately there's plenty of shopping in Kansas City, including a Cabella's, Dad. I know you're proud. :)

Our stuff is here in a warehouse so hopefully we'll have an address on Monday to give them and we can schedule delivery.  Some of our loyal readers have heard our tales from the move so far which included my very raw emotions being rubbed the wrong way by our packers, who made lots of comments about how much stuff we had. Well, when we got the word that our household goods had arrived to the storage facility here, it included the weight total. Guess what it was? 11,800 lbs, over 5,000 lbs UNDER our limit. So there, packers, take that!

We are tired and anxious and emotional about it all, a little too tired to be excited at this particular moment, but we'll get there. It's an adventure for sure!
