Rah Rah Ramblings

In a whirlwind chain of events, I made the decision to move to Kansas City. When I drove in Thursday night two weeks ago, I went straight (practically) to "work", which basically consisted of hanging out with my two (now two of my three) favorite boys.

Since my arrival we have spent much time swimming, bowling, visiting the hospital (not for either of them!), eating ice cream, frozen yogurt, brownies, cookies, candies, and snow cones, and watching The Chipmunk Adventure. It's still as good today as it was when I was 6.

I moved so suddenly because my brother and his wife had become parents a third time, this time to our very precious Zion Jeremiah Parsons, born 11 weeks too early (he's still supposed to be in the womb, people!) But this little trooper has proved to us all that he is a fighter, and yesterday he came home! You can read more of their journey to Zion and his story here.

Besides these major markers, my last two and a half weeks have also held:

1. Trader Joe's opening in Kansas City. I braved the crowds today and came back with some vanilla yogurt. Now I can say "I was there when..."
2. Moving into a new place. Can't say for how long - but I put my metalworks purchases on the walls. I am thinking about unrolling my rug.
3. Peter Bradley Adams' Between Us

On next week's agenda:

1. HP7-2
2. Official Trader Joe's shopping spree
3. Applying for jobs 16, 17, 18, and so on.

I think I need a job.
