Emery

Last night Debbie & Greg Rockhold had me and the rest of the Miller clan over for dinner. Emery greeted me at the door with a huge hug and 'I drew a picture for you Gramma!'.

She explained the two drawings. On the left is 'a picture of the Gram Debbie that used to live in Albuquerque'. On the right is 'a picture of the Gram Debbie that used to live in Colorado.' 'On the other side I drew a rainbow for you!'

Yes, it is already fun living near Emery and Adalyn!

Made it!

I got to Nashville about 4:30 this afternoon. It was easy to find Donna's place with my phone. We went to the mall just so I could walk since I have been sitting for 2 days (and the mall because it was too hot to walk outside). Had tacos for dinner at her place and then took a driving tour of what is near her place including where her classes will be.

Tomorrow we will do breakfast together at a famous pancake restaurant near here. Then off to Clarksville. Donna will come too. We will have lunch with Jenn and the girls and get to see my place. Jenn has my keys and garage door opener.

Yay!!

A long day driving

Here are a few pics from my day and a little recap. I left ABQ about 8am and arrived at my hotel about 9:30pm (10:30 AR time).

Brutus cried almost the whole way to Amarillo, TX. After that he would make it about 90 miles past a walking break and start crying again. Once we hit OK City I guess he gave up. No more crying, just happy when we got out. Buddy was fine in his crate all day. And of course happy for walks too.

The abandoned gas station is one place I stopped for Brutus. I thought he was desperate to poop or something. He only wanted out. So no more emergency stops. I picked places like 'Love's' the rest of the day.

I ate jerky and dried apples and a couple cookies throughout the day. It was much too hot to go in somewhere to eat and leave the dogs in the car. Got something to drink each time I gassed up. That worked out well.

I made it all the way to Russlleville, AR by 9:30 MST. I drove just under 800 miles today. That leaves just over 400 miles for Sunday. So I will sleep until I wake up and enjoy a free breakfast, then hit the road bound for Nashville and Donna's place!

As you can see I have my air mattress set up on top of the bed I rented for the night. It is nearly midnight here in AR. So I am off to sleep!

Leaving

Just turned in my key. This is officially not my home any more! Tennessee here we come! (Brutus is crying in the back seat!) he will have to get used to being in the crate the next couple days. We went for a walk before I put him in there. First stop coffee to drink with my protein bar. Then I am on my way!

Moving day is coming!

As you can see, my moving trailer is here and my place is chaos! But as of today my new house is empty. The carpets are clean. And it is just waiting for me to move in next week!

I plan to leave ABQ on Saturday morning. Will stay somewhere in Arkansas that night. Sunday I will arrive at Donna's place and spend the night with her. Monday I will arrive in Clarksville and get keys to my place. My stuff should arrive Thursday. I will have 3 days to unload.

I will rent for about a month and then close after I can show the underwriter a pay stub.

I will be glad when my life feels a little organized again. But it is all rather exciting!
