If you follow me on Instagram, then you already know that we are now in the Kansas City area. If you're not, following me on Instagram, then all I would like to know is why AREN'T you following me on Instagram??!! Hop to it! *smile*

We got into Kansas City about 5 days ago and are currently staying in the corporate apartment hubs has been residing part-time while being back-and-forth between KC and ATL. Our house is ready and waiting for us, but we're waiting for the truck with all of our stuff to show up before we begin staying there.

The day we got in, the kids were pleasantly surprised to see some leftover snow that was still on the ground from a previous light snowfall. They were so ecstatic! This was my youngest boy's first time seeing snow ever, and was like the first time for my oldest as he was so young the last time it snowed in Atlanta that he had no recollection.

Even though the snow was fairly sparce, we found a nice patch that we were able to make a dwarf-sized snowman with. I have to say, as much as I dislike the cold and all that comes with it ~~including snow~~, it feels awesome to experience these "firsts" with my boys.

So, now we're pretty settled in until we make the next move to the house, and I've just been trying to get familiar with the area. We don't have any New Year's Eve plans, and will just chillout and bring it in as a family. I'm sure the boys probably won't be able to stay up until midnight, but I'll let them try!

2013 was awesome, and I have no doubt that 2014 will be even more amazing. "Embracing change" will be my motto for 2014!

Wishing all of you the very best in the New Year!
