I HATE to leave MS again, but the jobs are just not here right now and DH and I will have the opportnity to apply for jobs with our agency in Kansas City, MO. We know nothing about the area, we don't want to buy as we will probably keep our house here still but most importantly is finding a nice area near the office, east of the Leawood area. How are the neighborhoods in S.KC or around or near Lee's Summitt and Grandview? I think we would prefer a townhome and in a good/decent/safe school district, Stanley is starting 5th grade in a few weeks so if we both get the positions we would have to move after the school year is started. Oh and we would need a cat and dog friendly place. I am not sure if any of you lovely ladies live in or are familiar with the KC area but any help in planning ahead in case we do move would be greatly appreciated. I would like to have a plan A and B in place before it get's to the point of oh crap, we have to move, in like 3 days, and we have no place to live. LOL...maybe not so much....
