We have arrived!!!

Well, goodbye snow, ice storms, cold weather, and corn. Hello, rolling foot-hills, warm weather, big city, and miles and miles of hiking trails. Oh yeah, hIll-billies, southern hospitality, and lots and lots of pick-up trucks too. After a restless night's sleep, Ashley and I awoke to more blowing wind, and ice and snow. We decided we had better leave anyway, assuming if it got bad enough we could get a hotel for a night.
Nonsense! 2 hours into the 11 hour ordeal, the wind stopped and the weather warmed up a bit. Things were looking up. We arrived in Murfreesboro around 9 PM and decided to drop the truck off at our new townhouse, even though we didn't yet have a key. We drove around to about 5 different hotels looking for a reasonable rate for a room...nothing, horse show in town that weekend. Instead we drove into Nashville to stay with Dan, Ashley's brother. Dan and Kim were also good enough to help us get unloaded the next morning. which took about 1 hour to unload, gas-up, and return the truck. Pretty good compared to 5 hours of packing it. Of course we didn't count on having the task of unpacking the boxes being a 4 day job!
