Pictures of the Great Move of '08

Since I had to stare at the butt-end of Penske Truck and Green Outback for 20+ hours, you can too! Here they are driving through Chicago...
Hello, Iowa!
Hey, a little rain never hurt anybody! Somewhere in Nebraska...
These are some HUGE HUGE HUGE propellers that (smartly) were waiting on the side of the road in Kansas. I think they are for wind power. They were about the length of 2 semi trucks and were just gigantic! Pretty nifty! This was somewhere in Kansas.Let the snow begin! This was what the last 5 hours of our trip looked like. Have someone blow loudly in your ears every few seconds to get the full effect of the wind.
Finally!! Colorado!!!
Oh John Denver, thank you for writing such lovely songs about the Rocky Mountains. I would have sang them loudly to myself had I not been gripping tightly to the wheel and trying not to be blown off the road. Aforementioned Rocky Mountains are seen here if you squint. It was a cloudy day, okay? Boxes! And when you're done with these boxes, we have some MORE boxes for you! And after that? You guessed it! BOXES! Please note the little glimse of Disgusting Rust Colored Carpet on the floor. It is, thankfully, the last you'll see of it :)
Jon and Trent move in the chair. Now we can sit on something soft and squishy, not just the plastic lawn chairs.
Mike and Tim move in the couch.

Check back later for more pics! I'll post some before and after of what the house looks like... but first we have to get it organized enough to HAVE an "after"!

The good news is that today we have.... wait for it... a WORKING BATHROOM!! All three items (sink, toilet, shower) work in the SAME BATHROOM!! Oh hurray!
