Well the intent of this blog was to document and share my journey across the country. In an ideal world I would have posted something every night about the drive and what we saw or did that day. But in reality, I was very tired after spending 7-9 hours in the car. So I apologize to the few followers I do have.

Here are some highlights.

I got to see Mt. Rushmore and Old Faithful in Yellowstone. I ate some good food and saw some interesting things. Then we arrived in Seattle and there was still more to do! I went shopping, a lot, I got my internet and cable set up and soon I'm going to build my furniture. (I'm still on an air-mattress right now.) And of course there was all the Seattle sights to see!

I also got a job and am working 20 hours a week. Then classes start this week. So pretty much my life is beginning here in the Emerald city. If you want to ask me about driving from South Florida to Seattle please message me and I'll be happy to answer it. But I think now that my move is over this blog is over too.

But feel free to follow me on my other blog.

Packing is likely the worst part about moving. It takes forever, it's boring, and it's tedious. Currently I am avoiding packing because it makes me want to cry. I have so much stuff and I hate waste. I don't want to buy stuff that I already own but do I really want to spend the money to ship some $20 towels? So I'm making a list. And ranking all my stuff. The categories are:

MUST HAVE-These are things like my laptop, clothes, my knitting supplies, jewelry, important documents or books. Basically things I can't/shouldn't ship.

Could live without-These are things that would be useful but only a few things will get packed and shipped.

and GTFO-This is stuff that has got to go. Clothes, bags, shoes that I never use or wear. Just all the old crap that is not useful.
