On the Road

Today I said good bye to New York. I know it's not forever, that if I tried to stay away there may be several bounties out on my gypsy ass, but it's good bye for now and that's sad enough.
Dillon and I had a rough start getting out of the city. We were already a day late for our departure, I hadn't showered in 4 days and had been wearing the same pink Menudo t-shirt (thanks Angela!) since Monday. We shipped 16 boxes to Reno yesterday (sorry mom!) and after loading down the Golf Jed Clampett style, we shipped 4 more.
It's amazing to me the things I've deemed important enough to keep and even more so, the items that I refuse to ship, the stuff I needed to have in the car with me. One of these things is a full size puppet and the other is a manequin head. I've strategically placed them looking out a backseat window in hopes of confusing/entertaining the people of Pennsylvania.

I digress.

After a teary goodbye and minor nosebleed, we were on our way!
We hit a HUGE rainstorm earlier this evening. I'm just getting used to our new (to us) car and haven't ever driven this stretch of road, so I white knuckled the wheel for awhile since the rain seemed to be coming at us sideways. Thank God we got the sunroof shut in time.
We're in for the night now, in Clarion, PA.
Hope to get an early start tomorrow and be in St. Louis by evening. I can't wait to see Meghan!!!
DOWNTOWN MEGHAN BROWN!!!!!!!

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts!
