We live in KCMO now

Well it's 2013 and as promised, I said that I would resume blogging to keep my beloved Durham friends posted on our lives in Kansas City, MO (KCMO).

Our new address is:
200 West 5th Street
Apt #611
Kansas City, MO 64105

Here our some pictures from moving day, December 27, 2012---thank you so much to our friends who helped us pack up the truck: Keith, Andrew, Brett, Les, Jeff, Steve, and Angela, we literally couldn't have done it without you.  




Now after 1,100 miles on the road, Steve, my brother & Todd in the Uhaul and me driving Dietrich our Jetta, we made it to KCMO Saturday December 29 at 1am.  The trip went well, we just hit 3 hours of intense snow, but the rest of the drive was a dream.

Here are pictures of our little one bedroom loft apartment.  We put a lot in storage and then my office furniture into my new office.  Needless to say we had a LOT of stuff in our 20 foot Uhaul & thanks to Les & Keith who pieced it all together like tetris. 



 the apartment with all the boxes after we had 10 guys from the church help move us in, it only took 1.25 hours- amazing!
 the snow we got on New Years Eve :-)  this is the view from our 6th floor apt--it's of the river, and the downtown airport that VIP fly into
 our living/dining room
 Not sure if you can see but this building right across the street from our apt, has "Bull Durham" painted on the wall, saying they are the best cigarettes. Awe, this makes me smile everyday, a piece of home in a strange and far away land

 our living room
 our kitchen
 our bedroom
 what you see right when you walk into our apt front door
our bathroom

So that's our update as of 1/3/13.  Hoped you enjoyed the pictures.  I miss you already.
