Do I look nervous to you?


Ya I was nervous, I am still nervous.  If you know me you know that this is just how I roll!  I joke with clients that I worry about worrying to much, scratch head on this one. Lets get to the meat of my weekend shall we.




This is totally my nervous face, and my favorite coffee cup I did not bring:(

And this is Rusty's gangsta face...helping me not flip out:)


With bags packed and kids in tow we set out for the airport.  It was bitter sweet for a couple of reasons. One, the sweet part,  major construction was getting ready to start on the house and this is not my comfort zone.  In the kitchen and bathroom of all places, how do you cook and how do you shower?  I was quite happy to get on that plane.  Two, the bitter part, I was leaving my hubby, my kids, my dogs, my friends, my life, my everything, to fly to a place 20 hours away to start with a new agent, meet and live with in-laws, and try to navigate a new city. I was not quite happy to be getting on that plane.

 The drive to the airport was interesting to say the least.  It went from sunny with a little bit of wind to this maddness!



A lite rain quickly transitioned to ice and snow, wth?

Ahh the airport.  KC is easy.... you park, check a bag, and go through security. No crazy lines, no underground traines to ride, no non-sense.  This made saying goodbye so much easier. The plane ride was great, I sat next to a younger gentleman who was coming from Arkansas to Utah with his father to visit family.  They were headed to the Jazz, Magic game in Salt Lake. As we were flying he kept snap napping and I kept trying to take pictures over him of the mountains. I am pretty sure he thought I was crazy!



Best I could get:(
But once we landed and I got to take it all in this is what I got.


I literally could not leave this spot just because of the overwhleming mountains. 
All in all, I am happy I am here.  I miss my family but the mountains and in-laws make up for it.  They are great and have done everything to make me feel like I have been here forever. The first thing we did when we got off the plane was this.

Picture perfect ;-)

Rusty and I are self proclaimed foodies!  We love everything that has to do with food. If you have ever had a meal made by Rusty then you know that he is an amazing cook!  On Saturday the in-laws took me into Salt Lake.  I looovvveeee Salt Lake!  It is a big city that seems like the most accessable thing I have ever seen. Absolutly not intemidating at all! We went to a car show....


One day Boo!


And then we hit up the pimpest grocery store I have ever seen!  Whole foods does not have crap on this place!

Produce Porn for my Boo!

Ya you like that, I know you do!

These views were all from the upstairs cafe/chill area.  

Im talkin post office, kitchen store, and a whole instruction room were you can take cooking classes. Oh yea, and the fireplace with leather chairs and sofa's. Bring the VW and we could just live in the parking garage, raising little Bobby Flay's! 

I love it here and so look forward to starting our new life. I miss my boys, my friend's, and my comfort, but I know in the end this will all be worth it.

Hi Addie, we've never met, but Rusty promises any of his friends can come out and stay with you guys when you get settled, so I'm just going to start buttering you up now. :)

Anyway, I just wanted to wish you luck and tell you I think you guys are amazing for taking this jump. What an adventure to share together...even if sharing it together means a little time apart. I hope it flies by.

Hey Kate~
You will have to forgive me, I am the worlds worst blogger/facebook/email/phone call replier ever! I am trying to change that habit...plus the ole man is jumping my butt about it:)
Little do you know that I have already heard so much about you and totally would welcome you anytime! Bring a crew, bring yourself... we love chillin with good people.
I appreciate your words of well wishes! It is hard being out here away from the fam, but the in-laws are amazing and act like I have not made them skip a beat! Time will fly, it is about the only thing that is garuanteed once you get past a certain age. I cant wait to meet you and look forward to some skiing possibly rocking some matching lederhosen's:)
