Moving Day

Hi everyone,

Even though most of you know who I am, I am not going to say where I work on this blog or exactly who I am so that I cannot be tracked down. Here is the basics, however. I am a New England girl born and raised for the most part. I have traveled to many parts of the country and been to 4 continents, however I have never been to the REAL south before. Sure I have visited Florida almost every year from the time I was born, but that's not really the south, that's more New England in a warmer climate since most people are transplants.

I applied to a lot of jobs all around the country, and on January 12th 2011, I learned that I got a job in Knoxville, Tennessee. The next morning I gave my 2 weeks notice to my current job, and started to plan for my move down there.

It has been hectic since then, trying to find a place to live, figure out how I am going to move down to Tennessee, and how to move out of my current apartment.

Earlier this week my mother came out to help me pack up a large part of my apartment including clothing, etc, however we needed a UHaul van in order to take out the larger pieces such as my tv, chairs, full sized bed, etc. UHaul day was today. My dad, mom, and two family friends came out at 10:00 am and we loaded up the truck.

It is now very empty in the apartment, and sleeping on an aero bed will be strange until I move out for good on Thursday.

My mom and I will be starting the drive down to Tennessee on Saturday the 29th and hope to arrive in Knoxville on the 30th if all goes well. She is going to stay with me through Friday February 4th to help me buy the necessities, get a TN drivers license, etc and flies home at that point. Cross your fingers for us!
