Contrary to what people may think, Kansas is more then just a fly over state.
It really does have a lot to offer!
1. On almost any given week, we get the pleasure of experiencing almost all the seasons. It can be raining one day, 90 degrees the next day, snowing the following day after that, and all days the wind will be blowing 40 miles per hour.
2. With this luxury, it gives us the ability to own multiple styles of clothes. Everything from vests, car harts, and itty bitty tiny weeny yellow polka dot bikinis, to uggs, sandals, and cowboy boots. We have four closets in our apartment and they aren't near big enough to hold all of CT and my clothes and shoes.
3. Kansas is home to Kansas University and the KU Jayhawks!
Winter time and basketball season is a great time to be a Kansas fan.
4. Every night you can go outside, look up and see an abundance of pretty stars.
5. In the same breath, we have the prettiest sunsets and sunrises.
6. We have the #1 {Cargill} and #2 {Koch Industries} largest privately owned businesses in the United States in Wichita, Ks. This means lots of good jobs that pay well.
One of them being mine, which I start today!
7. We are housed in the middle of the USA. That means we are about equal distances to each coast, north south east and west. This also means that if a terrorist was going to drop a massive bomb, they may start by dropping it over Kansas to see how much they could wipe out.
(That's not so much a great thing about Kansas.)
8. Cost of living here is awesome. You can get a super nice 3-4 bedroom house with 2-3 bathrooms, a basement, a yard, and a double car garage for $150,000.
9. We grow home grown sweet corn and lots of it.
I can't wait for the day where I can have my own garden like the one below and grow asparagus, onions, peppers, jalapeños, pumpkins, tomatoes, and corn!
10. Even though we are a fly over state, we are such a pretty fly over state.
