The Boyfriend and I are headed West for our move. We finally, finally packed up all the stuff into the 24′ Budget truck, hooked his Honda up to the dolly, threw the dogs in the cab and headed out. We drove 550 miles yesterday in 11 hours. Hard to make good time in a big rig with a governor on it. I even slept in the floor of the cab for a while, since the dogs’ fat asses take up so much room.
We are taking a day off from driving to spend time at The Boyfriend’s sister’s place in Iowa City. She is letting our mutts hang out here for a while while we go thrift shopping and maybe wine drinking later. After today it is peddle to the metal until we hit California. I’m sure we’ll stop in hotels to sleep, but I wish we didn’t have to. I’m ready to be there.

Blogdiva’s Big Adventure! Whoo-hoo!
.
[…] it’s most definitely with a sense of loss that we read about Brittney’s travels and look at her pictures of her move to San Francisco. It’s only now that the grief settles in with the realization that she really has left. […]
Let the adventures begin. Have a safe trip. Miss you guys already.
Haha…. Tootie and Cooper look really pissed in that one picture from the 11th! Safe travels, you guys!
Go go go!
Will miss you so much & can’t wait to see you again
Watch out for wild turkeys around Iowa City. The wife (then-fiancée) and I were pulling off the interstate to find lunch and one flew right into our driver side door. Broke the mirror clean off. Drove to Cali with it duct-taped.
All the best to both of you, really.
Best of luck on your move. I’ve always said taking trips together proves whether or not you are meant to be together.
And if they can make it work…
…so can you.
I saw this and immediately thought of you. I just thought you needed to keep up on what was going on while you were on the road.
Looks like ya made it! Whoo-hoo!

It hurts to see your pictures. They’re lovely and simple and full of things I’ve never seen with my own eyes… the Left Coast!
I miss your boyfriend and would like to be close to the both of you.
