Kris' 1st Day and Our 1 year Anniversary!

Two weeks have come and gone so quickly. We have had good times and sad times in Kansas City so far. Luckily, we have met wonderful new friends, we have a great apartment, and we have many activities available to us in the city. Sadly, we miss our friends in Tennessee, our families all over, and our old schedule. Moving and starting over is such a different experience. I feel like it is hard to explain unless you have experienced it yourself.

The big test to this new adventure was Kris starting his new job. July 16, 2011: Such a big day in history. It was scary and exciting all at same time. Kris started his new job, I had my first real interview in Kansas City, and we were able to celebrate a wonderful year of marriage. For all who haven't heard, Kris' first day was great! The company he works for is very neat and he really enjoys it so far. (He officially has been there a week now!) I would love to tell you all the details but sadly I don't understand computer talk very well. If you want to check up on him, you should give him a call or send him a text. (I'm sure he would appreciate it!) Kris now has orientation out of the way and starts his intensive training tomorrow. I think he is excited to learn about his job specifically but not too happy about the drive.He will be located at the farthest away campus for five weeks. (Hopefully, he doesn't get placed there for good!)

I have officially been a stay-at-home wife. I learned that I like to work! I've been able to cook and clean but not enough people interaction for me. I have interviewed for two companies. I interviewed at Commerce Bank but was turned down due to an internal employee receiving the job. I also interviewed at Legoland/Sea  Life. I decided not to take that job for multiple reasons. I don't know exactly what God has in store for me yet. I thought until then I am going to try to sub and get to know the school systems. Wish me luck!

For our 1 year anniversary, we decided to do something casual since Kris had his first day the same day. We went downtown to P.F. Changs and celebrated. We had a wonderful dinner with great service. Our goal was just to enjoy each other which I think we accomplished:) We decided not to walk around the Plaza district (which is beautiful) because it was so hot! (Still in the hundreds here) We went home instead and had a good celebration cake for our one year. (For those who don't know the story, Kris and I already ate our Anniversary cake before we left Tennessee. It was awful because it got freezer burnt.) It was a great celebration in our new place.
