Even More Boxes
Back room is completely covered from head to toe with all boxes, etc. Still have the furniture to move tomorrow but we're probably about 60% moved at this point.
It’s official
New lease signed, old lease terminated, new landlord has a FAT check... we are officially moving to the big bad city of Albany.
Shoot, now it's time to pack. Yucky.
Crazyness
So we've moved. It's chaos. We're starting to get a handle on it all though.. There is much more to say with regards to this, but i'll save it for another day. I haven't been able to check email/ go online for 4 days now and I'm only briefly checking in now. I should be back online by next week sometime and in the meantime ya'll can just figure it out from here. See some of you this weekend-- Can't wait to hang with ya'll..
Adventure Time!
We're off to Oneonta to get our Marriage license and then up to Albany-ish area for a few days to find an apartment. Yeah buddy.
And Okay..
So I've relocated to Pensiltucky. Temporarily. Now we just need to find gainful employment and we'll relocate again. We have 95% of our stuff in storage and we'll be getting rid of the Penske truck tomorrow. I took a lot of pictures so I'll have to post some of them at some point. The drive here (670 miles) was hellish and I was really ready to be done in Ohio, but I was not about to park our butts there either. Anyway, we did that on Saturday and put our stuff into storage earlier today. Sage is enjoying being here cause she gets to play and party with a few other dogs. Zook is all hooked up over there. Nutmeg is suprisingly doing okay being here and has even adventured out of our room a few times. And Lewie is up to lewie type things which means I have no idea what he's doing. Sara says he's not eating, but he tends to fast every now and then. So, moving forward, I'll be hitting the job trail pretty hard this week and trying to stay out of the way while helping out around here when possible. So for those who want to contact me, I've got the same phone number and the same email address so rock it to me that way. If you need to mail me something check that wedding invite and you can reach me at that address.
P.S. I love that the Pistons got Lebron'd on the day we finally ejected out of Michigan. Makes me smile. And laugh.
10 or so days..
Til we are officially out of here. Can't wait. Michigan you are so 2005.
Living on the streets and in storage units is so 2007.
I can't wait til I
-never have to wait on a CMU football player again
-never have to wait tables again
-never have to work for tips again
-never have the option of going to Rubbles again (ban temporarily lifted for Thursday to see Chris's band play)
-have trees in my yard (that'd be nice)
-move out of Michigan
-move back to NY
-am closer to my friends
-am closer to my family
-don't have to drive through Canada to get home
-get a new job that I'm excited about
-make a new circle of friends wherever we end up living
-find a new tennis/disc golf/guitar hero partner
etc
IT’s OFFICIAL!
We are officially leaving the state of Michigan June 2nd. Now if we could just find some jobs and an apartment to move to... but it's more important at this point to get out of here. This is the second happiest day since we moved out here.
More Like When
It's really just a matter of when I decide to change the DNS. It is happening. That is a fact. DNS (Domain Name Server) switches take a little bit of time because the new information of where this site is located has to be passed from computer to computer until the Internet knows where to find it. Could take a day, could take a few... but.. if anyone wants the location in the time being send me an email or contact me to stay plugged in. Otherwise. I'll post exactly when the switch is made and we'll talk on the other side. Good things to come... good things to come. WE'RE MOVING!!
Webhost switch…
That's right.. It's going down.. Getting moved.
If this site goes off at some point over the next few days or so, that is why..
Sitting Around
As I sit around waiting for things to happen I'll write to you again. Time goes slower here mostly cause I'm taking a break from twiddling my thumbs. My Tv antenna only picks up one channel (CBS) and we have been without all the others for quite a few days now. I'm so far behind on my PTI and ESPN viewing that I am about to go stir crazy. I've got the Internet and that has helped. But now I am ready to do something, anything. Well almost anything. I could stand to not go for a long drive for a while. I think I'll turn the fan on now. It's getting hot.
This is Team Penske, well except for Sara who is taking the picture. Cell phones and walki talkis made traveling in a four car caravan a lot easier. Without this technology it would have been a true pain in the ass. We took the long way here, by staying in the US and going around Lake Erie. We didn't want to deal with any border anxiety or chance that they would make us unpack the whole truck or have issue with the cat or turtle or plants we were carrying, so we just went around. It made the trip immensely longer but it was okay. We left around 11am Tuesday and with all the stops for gas, food, and restroom we got here around 11pm. It rained as we went through Cleveland, but other than that the weather was really nice. 
Here is the corner of our main room. I haven't setup this Stereo yet. The computer feeds us our music. However, the plants have adjusted nicely and we have plenty of space for them. I'll share more pictures later when we have more things setup. It still seems like we have a lot to do.
Destination Reached
Team Penske has touched down in Mt Pleasant MI and has arrived. The apartment is sweet. So much nicer than the last one. It's the little things that make us happy. You know, like cupboards, windows, driveways, garages, closets, and lots and lots of space to breathe. In that picture below, at that intersection we are below the softball field in the bottom left, so to the left of where that red pin is. That house has two apartments and we are on the left hand side. My parents and Joanna took off about an hour or so ago and we are doing some things and then taking the truck back. I'll have to post some pictures later on to give you an idea. Not very much is setup yet.. but.. we have time. Anyway, thank you to everyone for supporting us. This is a big change for us. We are a little farther away from everyone than we would have liked but... that just means you have to come visit us more. Alright, time to try out the shower.
New Apartment Talk
Okay, so here is our confession. We are moving. Yet, we haven't even seen the new apartment we are moving to. Truck loading and driving is going to start tomorrow and run through Thursday into Friday. Here is the description of the apartment from our new landlord. This is all we know about it :)
Sara: The duplex with a garage is a good choice. I am not real savy
about pictures, but I will try an outside one if you desire. I will
try to use my written descriptive abilitiy to help. As you look at
the front of the duplex, there is an attached garage, separate by a
wall for each unit. There is a door from the garage into the house.
There are also a front door and a side door. The outside-from the
side door has a cement patio area. There is also a small side yard
and a larger back yard. THe house is across from a youth baseball
diamond area, two blocks away from an elementary school and three
blocks away from the city's largest park. The inside of the unit has
a living area, large enough for two couches, large TV unit and several
chairs. That rooms goes into a small dining area (large enough for a
4foot round/square table or maybe a little larger if a rectangle.
This then goes into the kitchen, which has a newer stove, refrigerator
and dishwasher. Then a hallway to both bedrooms and bathroom. In the
hallway, is a closet with washer/dryer and another closet for storage.
The master bedroom is large enough for a king size bed and dresser-it
has two closets. The smaller bedroom is large enough for a nice
office with one closet. It will be all painted new, with some or all
new flooring and carpeting. The outside is yellow vinyl siding. It
is in a neighborhood where students, families and renters live, but
mostly families. It is close to campus, parks, etc. Let me know if
this helps. Don Schuster
And this is the closest we have come to seeing it.
