The Move

I made the big move Friday and Saturday. I made it to Ames an hour earlier than expected. I think the fantastic CD that Sarah made had me zoned out and cruisin along. But somehow I feel like  I stopped for gas much less than normal as well. Its like an hour of driving and a tank of gas just disappeared somewhere along I-80. When I got to Ames I stayed with Mary and Trevor, which was fantastic because it has been so long since I had seen them. All of this wedding talk was getting old on the phone and computer. I needed some real face time. Bridesmaids dresses have been decided on as well, and I am excited to wear it. Luckily she chose lapis, a color I can wear pretty darn well if I don't say so myself. But we didn't spend too much time with wedding stuff, and just hung out and had a good time. Watched some YouTube videos, drank some beer, tried to play f the dealer. It was great to finally sleep in a real bed again. Although it did take a while to fall asleep because I was too comfortable after spending the last month on an air mattress, Vegas excluded.

The drive from Ames to Dubuque was a bit brutal. It rained the entire way, and my windshield wipers are not the greatest. But as I entered to house I was "greeted" by my two golden retrievers. My legs are still scratched up today! Then came the family and we had a nice lazy day watching Rango and Rio. I had never seen either, and am already thinking about when I will watch them again. Rango isn't the greatest movie for kids, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Rio, is just wonderful for everyone. And of course I enjoyed it more when I realized that Nigel, the bad bird's voice was done by Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords. Fan-freakin-tastic! Now today I will spend my morning unpacking and doing laundry. Until after lunch of course when we get to go water skiing and jet skiing. Time to get my butt moving so it doesn't take two weeks to move in!
