I really do have a good reason...

First of all, I'm sorry it has been sooooo long. Life has been beyond crazy and upside-down since before Easter. And then I got behind and it just got overwelming. So this is a start, but I realize I have a lot of catching up to do. So here is what has happened:
The Thursday before Easter and Madison's Birthday (they were the same day), Rick accepted a new job in Kansas City! Yeah! We were so excited and overwhelmed. We had already planned to go to Wichita that weekend for Easter and Maddie's birthday. So Saturday morning we had the Easter Egg hunt at the club, then birthday party right after that. It was a crazy day! Sunday morning we headed back to Dallas so Madison could make it to one of her good friend's birthday party that afternoon.
Then the Thursday after Easter, we put our 2 weeks notice in at work and at daycare. Rick was supposed to start work at the new place on May 3rd, and we knew that we didn't want to be 8 hours away from each other. So the plan was to move some stuff to my parent's house, go to Colorado for 5 days, then Rick would start work in KC, stay with his folks and Maddie and I would stay in Wichita with my parents. And then our house sold in 3 days! That very same weekend.
So the time we had left in Dallas was spent packing like crazy and fixing a gas line into the house :(. Then we pretty much went straight to KC to try to find us a house. And that is where we still stand. Still no house. We have looked at everything there is for the last month now and nothing. You would think there is a lot of houses on the market now. And there is. But there is a lot of not very good houses out there.
Meanwhile, Madison and I have come and gone to KC a couple of times and Rick has visited us once too. So we'll see what we can find and hopefully I can tell you that we live in KC again soon.
Until then, I'll do my best to tell you what we have been up to and keep things up to date.
Thanks for being patient...
