Officially Kansans

That's right campers, my escape from the Show Me state has been many years in the making and will finally come to fruition next month! Sure, it's not moving far in terms of distance, but it's far away in terms of finally accomplishing a goal. I was born in Missouri, and have lived there my whole life save for summers in Houston, TX and one year of living in Melbourne, FL. While I would say Missouri as a whole is "OK", I would never list it atop my personal list of places I'd most like to live. One might argue Kansas wouldn't make that list either, but the area of Kansas my wife and I will be moving to might actually.

Soon we will be able to call Leawood, Kansas our home which to me is really, really kick ass. The area we're moving to is four miles from my work, and not only saves me a ton of gas, but allows me to completely bypass the Kansas City "Iron Triangle" of traffic. Hell...yeah. Plus, Leawood is very nice...second only to the newer portions of Overland Park or perhaps Shawnee I would think in the area. It's not the announcement of a move to Florida or Texas as my wife and I would like (yet), but it's certainly a step in the right direction!
