Hi ladies - I have been MIA during my cross country move, but bf, doggie, bikes and self are all accoounted for in Denver now. We got the modem to hook up our internet this afternoon - it felt like forever waiting for it.
The move was....not perfect, but not too bad. Biggest obstacle has been the weather, oh...and the fact that bf's pickup truck broke down 2 hours into our drive.
Sitting on the side of the PA turnpike, I thought 2 things. 1) I am really glad I talked bf into getting AAA last month, and 2) WHY WON'T NJ LET US LEAVE....IT'S SUCKING US BACK IN.....AAAGH!!
Hee hee - ok, it wasn't that dramatic, but still...we had just started our journey when it happened.
It ended up being only a 4 1/2 hour delay after the truck was towed to a Pep Boys in...get this...Mechanicsburg, PA - and fixed. We got to Chicago the day before Thanksgiving and had wonderful weather until we left Chicago on Nov 29th, with the temp around 60 degrees. Torrential downpour for about 5 hours, and then it got colder and colder as we travelled West. When we got to North Platte, NE to spend the night, there was about 6 inches of snow on the ground and it was painfully cold. Before leaving the hotel the next morning, we checked the weather channel and it was -1 degree and -15 with the wind chill. That's just OBNOXIOUS.
We got to Denver on Thurs Nov 30th and our stuff arrived the next day. We are still unpacking and shuffling. We moved into a much smaller space - a loft - so we are having to get pretty creative with the space. We have hung the road bikes on one of the exposed timber beams, and the MTBs are gonna go up to the ceiling via pulleys. Should be interesting. Luckily our ceilings are about 16 ft, so people might not notice them.
Denver got a lot of snow the day before we got here, and it is still melting. I can't wait for it to warm up a bit.
Anyway, sorry this is so long, but that's the scoop.
I've missed you guys - I don't even know where to start catching up. Any new news?
