kansas city. here we are.

It's official... 8750 N. Kansas Ave #202 is the address for Deren and I. This weekend Dick and Betty came down to Ames and Kansas City to help finish moving the rest of my stuff into our apartment. It was so nice to see my parents - I felt bad they had the 6 hour drive ahead of them on Sunday. I have a feeling we'll be making that drive quite a few times :)

Today I got my Missouri driver's license so it is definitely official - Kansas City, here we are. I've been (trying to) keep busy by job searching, running errands and inspecting the pool (aka laying out and reading a good book). I'm in the midst of yet ANOTHER job search and like most things in life I'm not very patient. I'm crossing my fingers that a good full time job will come my way to keep me busy until I start school in January.

**Puppy update. Unfortunately Deren's dad and my dad talked Deren into NOT getting a puppy anytime soon...so being the good fiancee that I am, I'm trying to understand that our life really is accommodating for a dog right now. Hang tight though - we WILL get a dog :)

Here are some pictures of our apartment...

just the beginning...

Here it is, August 1. I can't believe we've been engaged for a month! It seems like just yesterday we were being introduced at the bar. I guess that shows ya how quickly the time flies.

I decided to start this blog to keep everyone updated on our life and the adventures we have in store. Lately our time has consisted of wedding planning, visiting each other on the weekends, packing (for amy) and working (for deren). Amy is really looking forward to August 16 when she is finally moved down to Kansas City, MO for good :)

We have a quite a few events to look forward to...Sweet Corn Festival in West Point is next weekend, Dana and Billy's wedding is August 23, Amy's brother's memorial golf outing in Madison, WI is the end of September, Amy's cousin is getting married on October 10 in MN, and in between there's talk about adding a puppy to the mix :) and that's just the beginning...
