Shortly after my parents left this is what the house looked like...the mess before the organization. Well somewhat of organization before packing away. We were not sure at this point where we were going so we were putting everything in a POD for the time being.
Adam took the GRE and here was our crew to celebrate (he did a great job on the GRE) at Blanc Burgers - a KC favorite!
Differences in our appearance as we went to tackle the attic. You can see Adam hates the attic. We were worried there might be a raccoon up there but we were glad our findings were very boring! We felt after this the house was ready for inspections......
For Adam's birthday we went to a restaurant we had been wanting to check out and it did not disappoint (http://www.urbantablekc.com/).
We took time out of packing for an afternoon at the symphony.....
......and at the batting cages. We used a groupon so the outing was suppose to be an inexpensive as possible but in a stroke of genius I placed my gum on top of the coin machine since I could not fine a trash can. Adam's hands had been blistering so we borrowed batting gloves from the nice kid running the place who had warned us not to mess up the gloves since he just bought them that day. I said of course we wouldn't as what could mess up batting gloves, well gum of course. It ended up being one of the more expensive outings as we payed the kids for the damage but we got a new pair of gloves out of it!
Moving weekend was also one of our friends the Stag's baby shower. I was able to make it in the morning before we moved. Great to see friends that we hadn't seen in weeks since we had switched churches.
Going home we were finishing packing up and our wonderful friends the Johnsons were back to help!
It was a warm September day but the packing went quickly with our extra hands from Craigslist. There was minor drama when we realized the cap we brought for the fridge water line was leaking into the basement but we were able to clean that up with the help of the Johnsons, again.
We then just had to wait. The close date was moved from Monday to Tuesday and then everyday moved just a day later. We were sweating by the end of the week but when we closed on Friday it was time to celebrate again!
Bye to 928!
Back to Blanc Burgers to celebrate!
Adam's last concert with the Civic Orchestra. We are hoping to find an outlet for him to play the next place we go!
And we didn't have to wait too long after selling the house to find out where we would go next. We learned that Adam not only got accepted to Georgia Tech but had been offered full tuition and a stipend for his work as a graduate research assistant! He will be working on a project doing research on atmospheric entry of spacecraft. If you want a better explanation then we will have to get him to write about it! Of course since we love to eat it was out to eat again at one of our favorite restaurant splurges - The American. The desserts were well worth taking a picture of!
A delightful way to celebrate a new city and a new job/school!
