This time last week I was saying goodbye to the love of my life, i.e. the hardest thing I've had to do in a long time. I will see him in December but that seems like light years away. He is so supportive and accepting of this huge decision to move. I am so very lucky to have him! Wow, how ironic is this... "You say it best when you say nothing at all" just started playing on my computer...this is the first song we ever danced to...Just listening to this song puts me right back in the moment. I would kill to be able to wrap my arms around him and hold him.
A week ago was not only saying goodbyes it was about new beginnings. TJ and I set out on our adventure to Florida. We began driving at 12pm on August 21, 2008. He was in his car and I was in mine and I followed him the whole way. We had walkie talkies in each car so we could talk to whole way. The BEST idea EVER!! (thanks Fran and Ira) We stopped in Hershey,PA and at South of the Border, both were very neat.
We finally reached the Florida border at about 10am on August 22,2008 (we drove ALL night) I saw the first sunrise of my life! Already an adventure of firsts. As soon as we hit Florida we hit hurricane Fay head on! In all her fury we crawled along roads with speed limits of 70. We could not see the hoods of our cars, let alone cars in front of us! Trees were nearly bent to the ground and there were tornado warnings! Then they became the real thing. We kept hearing names of towns that TWO tornadoes had touched down in and where they were heading. Wouldn't you know they were saying the names of towns as we were seeing signs for them! Talk about feeling like you're in the middle of the Twister movie! It was thrilling and definately kept us alert since we were SICK of driving!!! We FINALLY reached our Apartment Leasing Office at 4pm August 22, 2008 (you got it 28 hours of driving). As we pulled into the complex, TJ loses his steering in his car! OH MAN!!! We bought power steering fluid only to find that was already full! THANK GOD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON 95 or on Route 4 (Which is NOTHING like the Route 4 in VT)! He was able to drive it to the apartment and he hasn't been feeling well so I brought him to the doctor and found out he has mono! Poor kid, what else can go wrong?! lol We got his car towed to a mechanic and found out it was a belt that fell off!! What are the chances of it not falling off until we got here? After 1800 (roughly) miles!! Someone wanted us to make it here safely and was watching over us!
So this week has been busy with unpacking and settling in. We got our living room furniture in yesterday and it looks GREAT! Things are really coming together, now I just have to find a job! Liberty Mutual contacted me for an interview, so I have one tomorrow morning at 10. I was told it was a management position, so I am intrigued to see what they have to offer. :crosses fingers:
I will end here and will blog later. I should go get some more things and get my room organized! I can't sleep in it yet without a bed but I can certainly keep it clean so as to not get any critters!! EW! Thanks for visiting :) Stop by again, ya hear? ;)
