Hello from Kansas!
I’m excited to share that I have accepted a position at a local university here in Kansas. I began researching and applying for jobs when Mac made the promotion list in January. After several rounds of interviews for several jobs, I was offered two jobs. The one I decided to accept is close to where we wanted to live (the other was about an hour away). We settled on a start date for this week, so I packed everything of mine up and drove out to Kansas on Sunday. And I can’t say that I recommend driving about 1,000 miles in one day.
I’ve been living in a hotel since I arrived. I researched housing options for several weeks, and we decided to live off-post. We’ve paid a deposit on a rental house, and I’m hoping to move in next week. Mac and the cats are still in Georgia. His report date isn’t until July, so he is going to move in June. We’re planning to move the cats before then. Hopefully, we can schedule pick up for our household goods soon and cross another thing off our list. While living apart for about six weeks isn’t ideal, we decided this was an opportunity that wasn’t worth missing out on.
Any recommendations for the Kansas City area?
How exciting! I’m happy for you guys and can’t wait to follow along on this adventure 🙂
Thanks, lady!
Congratulations on the job! Sounds like your KS experience is already off to a great start!
Thanks! It’s been a good almost month so far!
Congrats on the job! Restaurant recs: Gram & Dun, Beer Kitchen, Kansas City Joe’s, Minsky’s – the Zona Rosa location is the best. The West Bottoms does a First Friday every month which is fun to check out.
Thanks on the congrats and for the amazing recommendations! I’m going to put those on the list. I’ve liked Zona Rosa so far. Definitely excited to check out more restaurants once my husband arrives!
