I have a date tonight and I am oddly excited about it all. I mean what girl doesn’t like to get all dressed up and have a fancy night out every now and then? N works the day shift on Fridays at his new job. Team sports is a big deal in this area and […]
I need health insurance, damn the man!!
For those of you who don’t know about N and I we just got engaged but have been together for about 6 years. We’ve been living together for 5 of those years, our finances and our lives are intertwined. We have joint checking accounts, shared credit card accounts, we are beneficiaries on life insurance policies, […]
OMG, we are actually living in Evansville…
Yesterday was my first day in the new house alone and strangely enough it was weird. Normally I love my alone time, it gives me time to sort things out, do what I need to do and I am just better off after having that alone time. Today I am at a loss, I haven’t […]
Sitting in the garage, watching Ike blow through.
We woke up this morning to howling winds and were not surprised. All week we heard warnings of severe weather for Sunday (today). After my family’s flight was rescheduled for the second time yesterday we all kind of knew that the chances of them flying out of Evansville today were slim. After we each had […]
Days 7-11, We are here but the chaos continues
We are here in our new home and off the road but the chaos continues… It’s been almost 2 weeks since my family joined us to make the 1500 mile trek from Flagstaff, AZ to Evansville, IN. We have had our ups and downs like any family over the course of the two weeks. We […]
Day 6 – Stanton, MO to Evansville, IN
When we awoke the morning of our last day on the road we were unsure about how my mom would be feeling after her night of vomiting and passing out. I asked N if she was awake when I awoke, I was worried she had alcohol poisoning or something. Turns out mom was just fine […]
In the new house, beginning to settle in.
It has been 4 days since we first stepped foot in our new home out here in Evansville, IN. Things have just begun to settle down and we are starting to settle in and enjoy our new surroundings. The last few days have been crazy hectic and I have gotten way behind in sharing my […]
Day 5 continued – Kingdom City, MO to Stanton, MO
In the afternoon on day 5 after we left our awful experience behind at the Emporia RV park and finished up at the mechanics we hit the road and were hoping to find some fun to improve the day. On the way out of Emporia we spotted a flea market in the parking lot of […]
Road Trip Day 5 – Emporia, KS to Kansas City, MO
Well it is 3:49 pm Kansas time and we are JUST NOW leaving Emporia, KS. It has been a hell of a day! We made it a point to set the alarms on our phones so we could attempt to wake up at 7am local time instead of waking up at 7am Arizona time like […]
Road Trip Day 4 – Dodge City, KS to Emporia, KS
In Dodge City, KS we stayed at the Watersports Campground and were pleased with the lake view from our site. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that they had free WIFI on site for guests. I spent a leisurely morning waking up at about 9 am local time and then I did some business […]
Road Trip Day 3 – Logan, NM to Dodge City, KS
First off I want to let you all know that yesterdays blog post did have photo issues, it was not your computer. I am using Qumana to write my blog posts offline and then when we get to a WIFI spot I upload the post to the server. Yesterday it appears the post uploaded but […]
Road trip day 2 – New Mexico to New Mexico
Monday nights sleep was tons better in the Winnebago than it was the previous night when we slept on the floor, so that was nice… N can’t straighten his legs in the bed though, it is literally jammed with stuff so we have little space to stretch out. Sleeping on a cushioned surface always beats […]
Road trip day 1 – Arizona to New Mexico
Well, it is 3:02pm and we have finally left Flagstaff, AZ are en route. We had a major delay in departing today thanks to our property manager. We were all set for an 11am inspection appointment and we woke up all early to finish the last minute tasks. We got all our cleaning done in […]
We pull out tomorrow…
The truck is pretty much loaded and we are just trying to get through the night of sleeping on the floor with practically nothing in the house. We pull out tomorrow at about 11:30am -12 pm, directly after our landlord inspects the house. We have had a hay day packing the truck and installing the […]
Loading the truck madness day 2
N looked at me and told me I was talking to him so condescendingly yesterday morning. My response was well you are acting all dumb and confused so I have to. One minute later we were laughing it off. Even during hella insane times we manage to not stay pissed at each other. Moving makes […]
The loading madness begins bright and early!
We awoke to the sounds of our moving truck being dropped off this morning. The truck driver came a knocking on our door at about 7:30am to drop off our trailer so we can begin loading it. N stumbled out the front door in his underwear to greet the moving truck and advise them of […]
Only a few days left!
Just finished dividing my lily and iris in the garden in preparation for the move this weekend. They are all dug up, washed and are drying so I can box them up and move them. I just need to box up my pots now! We spent the day taking furniture apart to conserve space and […]
Countdown, 6 days till we leave Arizona.
Two days later we are still on cloud 9 about the engagement, despite those who are insistent on ruining it for us. N is my fiance, woot! Now I am not just the crazy girl following her boyfriend across the country. Yeah, I know people did think I was crazy for moving away with him […]
7 days to go and we have news!
Our going away party was yesterday as most of you know. Our crazy week of working the week before pretty much left us unprepared for the going away party. Our house was just trashed. So we spent much of yesterday morning straightening and cleaning in preparation for the party. N insisted that we go for […]
Count down 8 days to go…
Today is our going away party/ potluck. N is making a pasta salad from scratch and I am making pioneer woman’s cinnamon rolls from scratch, mmmm. We are going to eat, drink and hang out with people, this is our last chance to before we leave Arizona. Choreographing routines and working band camps has ended […]
