Well, this weekend was another fun filled adventure onto I-95. We spent all day Friday packing up the moving van (thank you Tiny, Zach, Sam, and Laura!) went out to eat with some friends and ended the day with some fierce competition in Dance Dance Revolution at the Greivell's. That's right. I said Dance Dance Revolution.
Saturday the moving fiasco began. We left around 7:30am and thanks to summer traffic, the drive took us about 9 HOURS. (Folks, that's a new record). We finally reached Jacksonville at 5pm only to find out that the apartment complex had already closed FOR THE WEEKEND. (i.e. until Monday morning). This was unexpected because when Rob spoke to them about an hour beforehand, they assured us someone would be there. Rob pulled out his "Captain America" cape and started making phone calls. Eventually-don't ask me how- Rob got the owner of the entire complex on the phone. Now they are doing everything short of naming a building after us to compensate. We just wanted some keys. Anyway, we're *mostly* moved in now. We were starting to miss the open roads by Saturday night...good thing we had to drive back up to Maryland yesterday (Sunday). We hit three major thunderstorms on the way back north, complete with flash floods- and finally arrived back at "home" (where is home now, anyway?) around 11:30pm.
Moving Van - $500
802 miles of gas (round trip) - $150
Arriving to your "new home" after 9+ hours driving, packing, no sleep, etc. and having no one there to let you in; Priceless.

Stay tuned folks...the keys to our place in MD haven't been handed over yet. Danielle's working 10 hour days to make time for a trip to NC this weekend, so Rob's home with a vacuum in one hand and a paint roller in the other cleaning and prepping the house for the turnover. More adventures to come!
