Ruffing it on a sudsy Monday

Hope you had a happy new year! We have spent the last 3 days unpacking and getting our life in order. The apartment is slowly coming together, we have the bathrooms, the kitchen, the office and part of the living room together. We still have a ridiculous amount of things to still get done and some how we manage to always come home hauling something up to the apartment if we leave to run errands. Tonight is my first time at a laundromat. The apartment charges you to use the wash and dry in the basement and we figured it would be cheaper to go to a laundromat. Let me tell you it is not that much cheaper. We forgot our detergent an had to purchase dinky box ones from the vending machine which left us short change and a load that will have to wait for next time. This task will take a bit to grow on me, I think it's because I have been spoiled with an in-home laundry up until now. I love the idea of being out an about away from all the packing though. It's kind of like a mini field trip. Ohhhh and how can I forget to mention that I made Belgium waffles for the first time ever this morning. I won't lie they were the BEST!!

WE MADE IT!!!

The chicken has crossed the road!!

Goodbye Nebraska hello Missouri

Yesterday we drove through the WHOLE state of Nebraska and let me tell you that state looks exactly the same from beginning to end! Also I noticed that people leave there dogs in the car a lot, I noticed at least 5 cars in random parking lots with parked cars that have dogs inside. Really people? leaving your dog in the car?? We drove about 600 miles and made it to Kansas City, MO around 10pm. Kansas City is really pretty at night and very scenic! We ended up going to see MI3 at the AMC downtown and my goodness that theater is the prettiest theater I have ever been to! I am currently in the car driving to ST. Louis (our final destination) we have about 200 miles to go and the weather at the moment is very cloudy and cold, it reminds me of thanksgiving. I'm sad that we are nearing our road trip because I actually enjoyed it. I didn't do any of the driving though so maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much! I am leaving you with a few pictures of Nebraska and Kansas City! Happy Thursday!!
