Babies are on board!

So it looks like we're not the only ones ready to go...

I swear I came home from work and this is where I found them! They just love their new houses! Kitties are so on board and ready to go!

Somehow we managed to get all of the following done in just one weekend:

• Update the kitties vaccinations at the vet 
• Get new carriers, treats and toys for their truck ride
• Set up all of our utilities at the new place
• Plan out our road trip (as much as we can right now anyways)

Whew i'm exhausted! Now it's time to get ready for the work-week! Wait didn't I just have a work-weekend? Ugh.

Movin' on up! (Literally)

So after scouring the internet until I thought our eyes would bleed, we finally found an apartment we love... and it's in the mountains! Well okay so it's next to the mountains but still pretty cool. 

Yeah that little red dot in the northwest center? That's it. It looks far, but it's really not bad at all.  We made the decision to move to the outside of Vegas because we wanted something really really different and new, and what's more different from Indiana than mountains! The excitement is building more and more everyday especially now that we found a place that is simply amazing. Just a few glimpses:

Cute little pool area

Private cabanas! Celebrity style.

I only wish I could decorate my bedroom as cool as this

So far it looks like we're right on track. Feels so good to check items off a list... 

• Rental Truck check
• Apartment check
• Road Trip Plans check
• Job... uh oh. Looks like that's next!

Wish me luck : )

Complete opposite of a lazy sunday!

After playing in Chicago for the weekend I decided I couldn't totally waste my Sunday by doing nothing (as much as I really wanted to). I chose instead to do some more packing and organizing. Here's what my living room looked like:

Can you say disaster area?? Stewart decided to help clean out our hallway closet while I packed glassware. Ended up getting rid of a lot of useless stuff but it still felt like we hardly got anything accomplished since it was all hidden in a closet anyways. Oh well it was a big project and i'm glad it's out of the way. Stewart had fun playing dress up:

Also we tried to get the kitties excited and Ellie was less than thrilled. Here's Stewart trying to give her a hug. Notice I said trying... yes that is her mouth open in the picture cause she was meowing so loud I think the neighbors heard...

Now my last project for the day is to finally decide on an apartment complex. Such an annoying process I never thought would be that bad. Thank goodness for online reviews!

I'll leave you with one last pic. My fave from the Chicago trip I just took! 

(Hint: It's all Legos!)

No help from the Kitties : (

So started packing some more tonight and surprisingly enough the kitties were less than thrilled...

As I packed a few boxes, it got me thinking... why do we have so much crap!? Need to simplify. Big time. Also who knew a glass (or two) of wine would be extremely helpful in the process?

Well this is where I ended up for the night. Now it's time to have a fun weekend in Chicago and not think/worry about ANYTHING! Yay weekend!

Planning, planning & more planning...

So since we've officially decided to make the "big move" out to Vegas, it's been nothing but planning! I feel like it's all I do with my free time. What can I plan today?? We've got some of the essentials down: inverter for the rental truck so we can watch movies and listen to music, bunch of boxes from work, awesome Goodwill trip unloading way too many old clothes and the cutest Hello Kitty binder stock full of ideas, lists and contacts. Packing is also an issue... this is what we have so far:

Our first packed box! We have a long way to go baby...
