Long Drive and the Superbowl

So itinerary for tomorrow:

Thursday
5 am go to work
12 noon leave work and pick up mini van then load up van and go to sleep
7pm wake up
8pm head out!

Friday
12 noon arrive in TN and unload mini van (and build chairs for den/library)
2pm go to sleep
12 midnight get up and start driving back to NY

Saturday
6pm get home.

Let's see how close to this I actually get.

Now normally this drive will happen between Friday -Sunday instead of Thursday- Saturday. But we planned it a day early to see how we feel after the trip since we would have to go to work normally on the day after. But this has another good result. . . . . . .

Sunday is the superbowl   :-) Soooooo Raven's or 49er's hmmmmmmmm. I just hope we see a good game. The playoffs have been spectacular let's finish on a great note!

See ya'll on Sunday!

Packing Begins

Last weekend we began packing. We now have about 20 boxes all packed up and ready for this weekend (first time we do the round trip in three days). It sure is going to be a lot of boxes to move. . . after all we have four adults moving. 

So far we have packed mostly books and decorative stuff. Obviously it will be the non essential stuff that goes first. Also in this trip I have two chairs that I bought on clearance for my library/den that I will be moving down.

We will pick up the van around noon on Thursday and then leave around 8pm Thursday night. This should have us arriving in TN at around noon. Then we will empty the van and grab some sleep before leaving to go back to NY around midnight. And we will be back in NY around 6pm on Saturday. Now normally this trip will be done from Friday-SUnday instead of Thursday-Saturday. However this trip is a test and we will have Sunday off to see how we feel the next day since in the future we will both have work the next day. 

An Explanation

Last October I bought a house and turned 30 in one day. As if just doing one of those things wasn't enough. Oh and the house is 900 miles away from where I currently live in NY. Now over the next year I will be moving slowly to TN. I plan on using this blog as a way to keep track of what promises to be a wonderful and crazy year, then the years beyond it as I settle into my new home and new life, and anything else that comes to mind along the way.
