Update, smupdate.

Well... I kind of died off on the updating... again. :-/

We made it safe! We are moved in, living with my friends, Kim and Andrea, in their dining room. It's a bit tight with all of the stuff for our whole house in there with our big blowup mattress. It's mostly just motivation to find jobs and our own place.

About the job... I had an interview at a bar/restaurant today and am going to the second interview tomorrow to meet the owner. Let's hope and pray I get this and Rob gets a job asap so we can find a place. We are kind of feeling like a burden on the roomies right now, even though we haven't been here long. Not much to report. Classes are alright. Summer fun, I guess. At least they go by fast. :)

Road Trip!

The journey west has begun! We left on Monday... a bit later than we expected (like 6 hours later). We packed the uhaul so we wouldn't kill my car along the way. That took forever. We headed north through Kentucky and headed west toward Colorado Springs, CO. I got to add 5 new states to my "Places I've been" list: Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas. Kentucky we got rain, nothing crazy. Indiana was the real fun. It was the shortest mileage-wise, but so long time-wise. We got a flat tire right inside the Indiana border. We had to wait about an hour before we got it changed. Then, our battery died and the tire guy didn't have jumper cables in his truck. He came back another half hour or so later and got us going again... then we almost ran out of gas. Talk about fun! It really was the best situation considering the circumstances. Then we were off again. 

We landed in Colorado Springs yesterday evening and Rob got to see his family. We will be leaving tomorrow and heading south through New Mexico to see more of his family in Sante Fe and Gallup. 

After that: Flagstaff, Phoenix, Vegas, Yosemite the SAN FRANCISCO!! Can't wait, and I'll keep you posted :)

Déjà Vu

Well, here I go again. This time I'll be dragging (I believe willingly) my boyfriend to the wonderful world of San Francisco. We leave NC on Monday and plan to make many stops along the way, camping some and hotel-ing others. Pray my baby blue Otto (a.k.a. Kia Spectra) can make this long and treacherous trek across the great states pulling a trailer (mostly small) full of goodies from home. We'll be stopping to see friends, families, and bath tubs along the way. I hope you all are ready!!

Ready or not, here we come!
