Leaving on a jet plane...

She's alive!! I have survived the longest winter and shortest spring in Minnesota. It has been a tough few months weather wise and with the career transition I have had little blogging energy. I do still read the blogs I follow at least a couple of times a week. So I firgured it was time to drop at least drop a quick line.

We have recently been doing a few house projects, gardening, and maintenance. We are learning with each and every project we start that it will cost more and take longer than we thought. I suppose that is what first time home buyers are supposed to go through...I just wish sometimes it was a little easier! My parents are very good about lending a helping hand and guidance, so we are not going at everything unsupervised.

It is pretty crazy that June is already upon us and our first anniversary is in just a few days! We are heading out tomorrow morning for Cabo San Lucas to celebrate and enjoy some sun!! I am horrible post-bride...horrible. I haven't made any books, only framed one picture, and still haven't done anything with my dress. I suppose now I have activies to take into marriage year nĂºmero dos!

I am thinking I will try to get on a weekly link-up...I have a few favorites so look for that after vacay. I wanted to also wish Vanessa a very Happy 30th Birthday tomorrow :)

Have a Nice Day!

Cabin Fever!!

I forget how quick February is over! Tomorrow marks a year since our move back to the midwest. It's fun to think about all the things that have changed since being back- married, house, friends again, new cat, and new jobs! But, I also miss that California sun...actually just any sun!!

Looking forward to spring and getting more and more settled into our new 'normal' life. Here is little Louis enjoying his new home :)

Have a Nice Day!

...and yes I hope to fit more blogging in!

Changes for the K's

2013 started with an exciting change as I started a new job back in Mpls on January 14th. I was sad to say goodbye to my coworkers and think about the unknowns with a new job. The consulting company I worked for was very small, so making close bonds was easy. I will miss my coworkers that felt like family and it is likely I will never work with them again. But as they saying goes...when one door closes another opens!!

Things are definitely different and fun! We added to our family adopting a 7 month male cat from Iowa. He comes with lots of energy and our house has been adjusting. We named him Louis (full name- King Louis of Ulysses St) and Valentina is slowly adjusting to big sister life. Another perk of being home more is hanging out with little (actually pretty big) EAT. My mom and I took him to Macy's and he was such a good helper!


I am liking the weekly commute that doesn't involve an airport and even joined the gym again. Looking forward to a more "normal" 2013. 

Have a Nice Day!
