Goodbye Missouri!

Military time is like dog years, or Hollywood marriages. So living in Kansas City for six years was practically a lifetime and the goodbyes were tough. We shared a lot of milestones (pregnancies, babies, holidays and pretty much every weekend) with our wonderful, lifelong friends. After the goodbye party (thanks Katie, Tim, John and Nikki), we moved out of the Rezac's basement and loaded the shaggin' wagon for our cross-country move to California in August 2011. We miss you guys.

Livin' it up with the Rezacs, who graciously let us move in for a couple weeks after we closed on our house. Every day was like an episode of Full House.

Roommates: Eri and the Rezac boys. She played with their toys; they ate her food. 

 

Eri and Ty Rezac. Just playing. No bed sharing until after the wedding, which Katie and I are already planning.  (Save the date for summer 2035.)

Tears :(
Can't believe how much I miss my BFF ... 

A Little Background

Ever since he was a cadet at the Air Force Academy, Geoff wanted to be an Olmsted scholar. And Eri, already a world traveler at 8 months old (Canada, hosers), and I also have always wanted to live abroad.

So, he applied to this program, which sends military officers abroad to earn an advanced degree at the foreign university in that country's language.

During the application process, the Olmsted Foundation asked for a list of cities we'd like to move to. We scoured the globe and agreed there was no better place than Florianopolis, Brazil.
