I've landed in Kansas and got me a Toto

Hey friends and family!  Long time no blog.  Though we were sad to leave Tennessee, I can't tell you how happy I am to be in Kansas!  Not only is it beautiful with rolly hills and green greenness everywhere, but they have lightning bugs and tons of lightning, so I'm set.  Oh and we are no longer living in the middle of nowhere.  We found a brand new apartment smack dab in the middle of everywhere.  I haven't cooked in months and we rarely find ourselves wondering how to spend our time.  It's great.

Jameson is finally getting used to working only 10 hour days and sitting in a cubicle.  I don't think he was quite prepared to be a "company man" spending all day in a glitzy office building as opposed to a dusty modular office trailer surrounded by steel, cement, and crew workers, but now that he's been here a little awhile I think he's settling into his polo shirts and team building exercises quite nicely.

I am still looking for work which in itself seems to be a full time job, but no complaints because 3 weeks ago my long time dream of becoming a mommy was realized, a doggy mommy to be exact.  Last month Jameson and I adopted a dog from a local shelter and named him Scout.  He is a mix between a lhasa apso and nobody knows, but he is awesome.  He loves to hang out wherever I am and he looks like he came from a Disney movie or an after school special.  If you are annoyed by people constantly posting pictures of their dog and writing about every adorable move they make, then I suggest you avoid this blog for awhile, bc I just can't help myself.  He is so cute, I feel like he's a cartoon come to life to be my friend.  He is the perfect dog for us.

So we're happy here and we hope you're happy there.  It's going to be a great summer and I hope you all enjoy it.  Ciao bellas!

Scout's first day home.  He was just a tad apprehensive.

A couple weeks ago in Iowa.  Happy as can be. 

My mud nook before, blah & boring.

And after, snazzy & jazzy.

My sister asked me to decorate the twins' rooms.  Annie's room before...

And after.  Not totally finished, but a big improvement, no?
