We made it into the car and we are going to try to do the full drive in one shot, through the night. I’m going to turn this into a liveblog of sorts combined with a bit of braindumping. I’ll be writing from my phone so please pardon my spelling mistakes.

4 pm we made it! I signed my life away and have key in hand. Now I’m wrangling the babe while TH does the same. I’m realizing that moving into a high rise is going to be several vary ts of awful (especially since we are moving in on the busiest weekend of the year), but I adore the employee that is helping us, Krista, and I know she is going to make it as easy as possible.

I think all three of us are just happy to finally be out of our super cramped car! We had every nook and cranny that we weren’t sitting in packed full of the stuff we need for two weeks and anything we didn’t send on the moving truck.

I won’t have Internet until Monday, so we will as if I am able to post before then (business center maybe?) for now T1 and I are chilling on the grass enjoying the sunshine. I’ll check back in soon!
1 pm CST. I just finished a few hours of driving but TH has done most of it less thN 3 hours left!

Did I mention that I can’t see what I’m typing? Apparently I’ve been mKing some strange mistakes. Whoops!

I’ve been listening to a book about thr Columbine shooting while we drive. I cried several times and really like it so far. I think it seems very balanced.

With the stress of moving I’ve been really lax with my eating. Still committed to my new rules about meat eating but indulging in some refined carbs and way too much fat and sugar. I’m looking forward to my first trip to a Chicago farmers market and restocking our kitchen completely with food that fits our new way of eating.

Doesn’t sound like anyone other than Kristen can come to my paintin party, but I realize it was late notice. We will do something soon though!

I’m considering a virtual book club of my own, similar to what Blue-eyed bride is doing, but only for nonfiction books. I’m just kind of “over” fiction lately for some reason. Would anyone like to join in finishing a non fiction book wig me once a month? I haven’t worked out any other details in my mind.

It is 8 am CST and we are about halfway there. I still haven’t spent a single moment driving.

We are listening to In Defense of Food and TH is officially a believer. Hooray! Our new favorite books are Nurtureshock and In Defense of Food. You should read both.

U2 is tired of being in his car seat.

Apparently I have to update near the top because I am using the web browser and can no longer get the WordPress app to work for That Wife. Anyone else ever had this problem?

We are in Oklahoma. I haven’t driven yet because TH is a rock star. I should be napping so I can take over for him soon.

We just took a nap in thenparking lot of a McDonalds.

Ree, Pioneer Woman, lives in Oklahoma. Does anyone know where exactly?

U2 is still sleeping. I’m grateful.

It took me 14 hours of straight work to clean the apartment from top to bottom and I still think we aren’t going to get our deposit back because it wasn’t good enough.

I love TH. He really is the one that made this move happen.

We took Grunty to Jason’s Deli at 9:30 pm tonight. It was incredibly classy.

Our car is loaded down with stuff like you wouldn’t believe.

Apparently the amount of stuff we had stuffed in our 1bed+den is comparable to the national average for a 2 1/2 bed. How do we have so much stuff?

I am covered in mosquito bites. Lately I always am.

The 500GB hard drive on my computer is full. TH finally agreed to get me 2 TBs.

We have two families in particular to thank for helping us move. To the G fam and thr L fam… we love you and we will miss you. Come join us at Booth next year!
