I'm so excited...

...and I just can't hide it...you know the rest. I am so happy to have internet now. And our belongings are being delivered tomorrow, so we will have furniture as well. woohoo! But for now, some updates...

Obviously we are in Fort Wayne now. We left FL last week and arrived on Friday (July 25th). Before leaving Florida we not only needed to spend time with family and friends but we had to get some of our favorite food one last time; Amura for sushi, Tijuana Flats for mexican, Emack and Bolios for ice cream....plus we had our lovely parents cook up some of our favorites; spanish pork for Alexis and manicotti for me, yummmm.

So we had our stuff picked up on Wednesday and we left early Thursday morning, hitting the road at about 7am.

Saying goodbye to the old apartment

Our Navigation System. It says 17 hours to go, and that was after driving for an hour.
Driving through Atlanta, GA

Tennessee mountains. Beautiful scenery. This does not do it justice.

Self-explanatory.

Bowling Green, KY. Thank you for letting us have Urban Meyer! : )

Louisville, KY. Would like to spend more time there someday.

Our cute hotel right outside of Louisville and right inside of Indiana.

Indiana in a nutshell: land and corn.


And that was the trip. FL to GA to TN to KY to IN. And no, those pictures were not easy to take while driving. We drove about 12 hours the first day, getting us right into Southern Indiana, and then had four more hours to drive the next day. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. XM radio and soda helped. But surprisingly I didn't drink a single coffee. At least not until we hit the mall in Fort Wayne a couple days later and I saw a Starbucks. ahh, shopping and coffee, life's little pleasures.

We checked into our apartment around 11 on Friday and we are expecting our stuff tomorrow (Wednesday). We have spent our days driving around, exploring, and watching movies. (We have watched 6 so far, tonight will be 7). I will definitely post some pics of our apartment and the surrounding areas soon. Right now our apartment is just an empty room with a blow-up mattress. Not much to look at.

Thats all folks. (for now)

(ps-Valdosta, GA won titletown? Am I the only one confused by this?)
