Welcome Home to Virginia Kelly...



Well, I know it has been a while, but I've been in the process of moving. I picked up a 24' Budget rental truck on April 30 (I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Budget to everyone and let U-haul know that I will NEVER use them...long story, but apparently I'm still bitter), the same day Matt flew in. By 8 am (Central time) Two men and a Truck were at 2818 10th Ave. South and hustling to move my stuff and load up the rental truck. Here's the thing about that company...they are worth every penny. They run, seriously, RUN (do you hear me?) RUN down 2 flights of stairs with stuff in their hands, on their backs, and then run up them empty only to run down with more stuff...psycho, if you ask me...but lordy I recommend them to all, and I love them...so moving on...The truck was loaded and they drove it to the main street (through the very narrow one way that I lived on)...and then I got in the driver's seat....and NEVER got out!!!

Well, let me explain...I got out to get diesel for the truck...but other than that...it was me driving the truck and Molly and Matt in my Rolla following close behind me...We thought we would make it the whole way to C'vill on Friday...well, at least I thought that...and I was WRONG!!! When you are stuck going under 70 that drive sure does get a lot longer!!! I was exhausted so we stopped in Raphine and we got to my new home on Saturday morning. Matt and I started unloading the truck, and then when the movers got here it went even faster. Then we returned the truck and got busy making the townhouse we moved my stuff look like my home! (Still in the process, but will get pictures up soon!)....

So, here are a few pictures from the trip and a goodbye to my old apartment and hello to Virginia. I just wanted you all to know that Molly and I are safely in Virginia for good...spending our days between the gym, the dog park, and making the townhouse look like a home...Expect pictures soon!
