we've called kansas home for a little over two weeks now, and I love it. it never ceases to amaze me how delicious the air smells at all times and how crazy the thunderstorms can get. tornado warnings, anyone? there are billions of trees and it's just beautiful. I love me some mountains, but I can do without them. at least for now.

this is right outside our front door! how gorgeous is this?

my life has been pretty low-key and boring since we've been here, but it should pick up soon. since colby sometimes works 15 hour days and I have yet to start my internship, I've had A LOT of spare time. we just barely got internet and a tv, so other than netflix and the daily trip to the complex's gym, i've been cooking up a storm. I love finally having my own kitchen to work with, and i've definitely put pinterest to good use. my page with all the favorite food and treats is right here. 

whole wheat sugar cookies (thanks to my sissy amanda) with greek yogurt frosting

 cheez-its

pizza hut personal pans (dead-on) and cinnasticks! TO. DIE. FOR.

having dinner on the table as late as midnight some days isn't something i'd like to do forever, but that's the life i'm in for now. and you know what? my life is fantastic.
