update

Phew… It’s nice to be back online. Just to catch you up from a week ago… Day 2 of packing wasn’t much better than day 1 only we found out our pick up date was wrong. The packer hurried around to pack stuff up because Mark was so mad. I was beyond mad, but screaming doesn’t do me any good, and I am already planning my actions on this one.

We were packed in a hurried fashion on the 2nd. Of course the packer forgot to pack the linen closest and pictures. And then she didn’t leave any extra boxes, so the driver who loaded was VERY unhappy!!!!

Mark and I are using the Caravan method to move. Our car which was supposed to be picked up wasn’t, so alas, I am driving the VW. Sigh… It hasn’t been bad so far though and the kids are enjoying the pools. They are great travelers!!!! We will hopefully finish our journey on Wednesday. 

Here is a list of things we have discovered on our trip:

1. Some things never change. Lexington and VA Tech are still the same (from the 81 prospective). There is still a Ring Figure rock painted for the next class, and Christiansburg is just bigger.

2. Armadillos live in Tennessee.

3. Wild turkeys can be viewed on the side of the road of Tennessee in the wee hours of the morning.

4. It is impossible to enter the state of Arkansas from Tennessee without having a heart attack between traffic pattern changes and speed limits, and BIG trucks!!!

5. It is possible to be pelted with fertilizer and who knows what by crop dusters.

Stay tuned…. We think we may have found a house. 
