The first two weeks...

It's been a crazy, busy first two weeks...unpacking,wine, unpacking, long work hours, head cold, unpacking, wine, unpacking...you get the drift.  Here's some pics of our first few weeks here...

Last meal in IL.  Mom and John fixed us a yummy cajun pasta (one of Chad's faves) and brown butter and mizithra cheese pasta (one of my faves).  Awwww.

The ride to KC.  They were so miserable.  It was a long four hours.

Exploring the new place.

Relaxing on the our new couch.

Smokey...one of the first few days he was left home alone...not happy.

 Our madness...

...and where we recover from our madness.  Cellar & Loft is this cute little wine shop a few blocks from our place.  The cellar is where all the action is, and the ambiance is amazing!

I hope to have pics of our new place posted soon.  It's been a struggle finding and actually receiving all the new furniture.  We've received some of it and will receive more of it soon.  We just found out this weekend that our dining table is on backorder and will not arrive until the end of February.  Boo!  The only place we have to sit is the couch right now.  It will be nice when at least the bar stools come in.

We've been unpacking and running errands all weekend.  We did take a break yesterday though to have lunch with Doc, Chad's advisor from SLU.  He was driving back from Omaha.  He also stopped in last weekend to have lunch on his way to Omaha.  It's been nice to see a familiar face around here.  We've enjoyed the company!  So tonight we're relaxing, have a glass of wine and watching the Golden Globes.  One more day of unpacking this weekend before it's back to work.  

Next Friday, Mom and John are coming to visit for a long weekend.  Yay!  We're pretty excited to have the company!!!  Woo hoo!
