Moving On

We found out about a month ago that we were going to move to Danbury, CT because Jeff is going to be doing hospital rotations in the area. We started getting stuff done immediately for our next adventure: Found an apartment- Check, sold old furniture- Check, Pack up the house- ummm Not Quite! But, the beginning of December came very quickly and we were moving in a few days so packing HAD to happen. Jeff's parents were amazing and offered to fly out to Michigan and help us pack up the house. We could not have done it without them!! We got everything boxed up and loaded into the truck in about a day and a half. We spent most of time packing, eating, watching My Sister's Keeper while sitting on the floor because all the furniture was packed, relaxing, packing and more eating!! Packing is normally not a fun activity but we had a great time all hanging out together.

Our HUGE truck- we filled the first 11 feet of the truck and the rest was filled in with commercial merchandise and driven for us to CT

Our last dinner in Michigan! Delicious italian food at Bravo to celebrate that the packing was DONE! Thank you to Lew and Karen for all their help!!

Last shot of the house, saying goodbye to our first home. The next adventure begins...

Maggie in the back seat all ready for the adventure. She is such a good traveler, she just sleeps and relaxes the whole time. She is moving to her 3rd home in 6 months.

Beautiful snowy scenery. We had great weather for the drive though, no rain, no snow, no ice!! Why do i always move in the middle of the winter??

Almost there! Danbury is actually located about 5 miles from the New York state border. I didn't get a picture of the Welcome to Connecticut sign but we arrived!

We did the drive from Michigan to Connecticut in just one day, it was only 650 miles. We couldn't get the keys to our apartment right away because the office is closed on Sundays. We stayed in a hotel and then got the keys Monday morning. We are loving the apartment so far and beginning to explore our new city. Post pics of our new home soon.
