Life lately – May 2019

I haven’t blogged too much lately because things are kind of hectic around here because…

1. I signed a lease last Wednesday and moved out of the hotel I was staying in. While I’ll miss the hot breakfast, comfy real bed, and housekeeping, I’m glad that we’re one step closer to finishing the move to Kansas. The previous tenants of this house smoked in the garage, so I’ve spent a good chunk of time researching ways to minimize that smell.
2. I’m only two weeks in, but I’m enjoying my new job so far. We’re still trying to figure out exactly what I’ll be doing as my position is new. I’ll be traveling for my first events this week.
3. Can we talk about Game of Thrones? This season has been a total roller coaster, but I have honestly loved it. I really don’t know what people were expecting because everyone on Twitter has something to complain about. And I also really don’t know how the show is going to end.
4. I’m already making a list of things to do and places to explore while we live here. Since we’ll most likely be here a year, I want to make the most of our time. I drove into downtown Kansas City to check out the public library without checking the hours first. #fail. I got there almost an hour before they opened. My plan for this weekend is to get outside and find someplace to hike or just walk around for a bit.
5. Speaking of Kansas City, I’ve been exploring the main stores in the area. You can quickly forget how expensive moving is until you have to go buy stuff to replace what you didn’t pack. I’m still wrapping my brain around the fact that Missouri sells liquor in grocery stores.
6. After a bit of soul searching and general questioning what I’m doing with my life, I think I’ve really cornered what I want my “blog niche” to be. My experiences as a military child and spouse have really inspired me to help other people figure out what to do where they live. I dislike when people say, “There’s nothing to do here.” So I’ve been working on ideas for easy and affordable weekend adventures. Because of my life, they’ll mainly be around where the Army send us, but I may branch out and ask for guest posts.

What have y’all been up to lately?
