Yum!

Do they make Feldschloesschen Fresca in the US? I sure hope so - I might actually miss this.

I Have Many Leather Bound Books....

...and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. (If you can name that quote - from a movie I think is super dumb - I'll give you a cookie, at some point.)

So anyway, I'm very important. Ok, not really. But, I feel very special. I've been selected to be a resident blogger on Realtor.org's Young Professional Network's blog. Soon, you will be able to see my picture here! How freaking cool is that!?!?!

Now I have a little bit of homework for the next month.

1. Come up with 50 words that describe me and what I do
2. Take a decent looking picture to put on the website
3. Come up with something to write about for my first post

Don't worry. Everyone will know when my first blog post appears!

It tasted like chocolate covered feet but I ate the whole box in 2 days. blech.

The Cars!!

After what felt like HUNDREDS of hours of debate (and twice as many spreadsheets) we've decided on these beauties!

Almost matching His and Hers 2010 Toyota Prius'. I'm getting this beautiful blue with the sunroof, solar panels and NAV system. Kyle's getting the EXACT (copy cat) same car in silver.

It's not like us to get new cars but it just makes financial sense. We can get used (2G) Prius' with 50K miles on them, worse gas mileage (that's right, the new Prius' get 52 mpg), and old body style for $20,000 plus sales tax or for an extra $5,000 we get the exact car (in the exact color) we want, all the features, and no miles, AND get a tax credit for the sales tax (Thanks Obama, at least you got that right).

Now the tricky part is actually getting them. We ordered them over a month ago - Of course I picked out the hardest car to get - so it will take 4-6 months for delivery... HOPEFULLY, we can get them shortly after we get home. But, probably not.

I'm just letting Kyle play with what he wants to do about that. Some days he wants to buy a cheapy beater to drive for a couple months then sell when our new cars come in. Some days he wants to rent a car for 4 months. Some days he wants to walk to work. Some days he wants to teleport. And my all time personal favorite is to get the 'roadable aircraft' that we invested in a few years back (that's an altogether different story) that isn't on the market yet...I've learned when he does this to just let him figure it out himself. If he wants my opinion, he'll ask. (He's going to do what he wants to do anyway, no reason to get involved :) )

I've Given Up!

I've given up on posting complete details of our vacations. I've kinda run into a time crunch trying to get everything ready to move home and they just take forever! It takes about 3 days to upload one post worth of picture (2 at a time x 12 minutes x 20 sets = LONG TIME).

You'll all just have to come over to my new house in 10 years when I get the scrapbooks done and look at the pictures :)

We're Pre...

...paring to move home!!!

(That one's for you 'grandparents')

After 18 wonderful, terrible, exciting, and boring months Kyle's been offered a job back in KC (still with Swiss Re). It's a great way to get us back to KC and get Kyle into a job that he knows he will enjoy and learn from.

Because this job transfer has been in the works for a little while now last week we took what might be our last 'European Fling'. We headed up north to London, Dublin, and Stockholm (pictures later).

...Now I have to get my s&%t together because I have 7 weeks to pack/sell/move everything outta here!

Wish us luck and catch you on the flip side!
