Changes On The way

Posted on by Jordan

So that essay plan? Yeah I have one about half written, but it turns out I can’t just sit down and bang out something thoughtful so… I may have to plan my time more carefully for that to work out.

But what else could be imposing on my time?

Well…

We are moving to Kansas City!

Heather’s employer provided the option of moving there with her job. Given that we were looking to move somewhere, and there aren’t a lot of places in the Midwest that are viable for both my job and hers it was an opportunity we couldn’t say no to.

We have known for a while now, but didn’t want to say too much until we had a few things locked in / communicated, but at this point I think we have most of the details figured out. In just a few weeks we will be moving into a house in Parkville MO.

What does this mean for us?

  • I have to learn how to spell missury messuri muzury Missouri
  • Hannah will have an entire yard full of grass to contend with
  • Going to the garage won’t involve three flights of stairs and crossing a street
  • Heather and I will both be giving up our sub-20 minute commutes

And, probably other things we haven’t even thought of.

It has been exciting and kept us really busy, but I think we are nearly ready for the move. I suppose this does open up all sorts of opportunities to come up with blog posts, so that will be good too!

Change In Programming

Posted on by Jordan

Well, not a drastic change, but still.

My goal for the year was to keep posting to this blog, and to avoid every post being a recap of the somewhat predictable saga of raising a toddler might be.

It occurred to me as I wrote the above line that one of my favorite blogs The Bleat, happens to be largely recaps of the mundane, but I won’t kid myself about his writing talents and my own. I don’t think I will venture down that path.

No, what I had in mind was giving fair warning that I may be doing some more reflective posts rather than just recording the day to day events in our lives. This is in part due to my fear that it would be really boring, and because I don’t feel comfortable talking in any detail about my job or Heather’s here, so that basically leaves the adventure found in mopping applesauce off Hannah. Some days there is adventure there…. but I don’t know if I can really do it justice.

So, reflective posts it is! I will aspire to avoid controversy and or politics, because frankly there are plenty of other places to revel in exploration of ether (or both) and I doubt I can provide anything new to the conversation there.
