Hey all! Tomorrow we leave for SOUTH DAKOTA!
Today we loaded up the 26 ft truck. I had a great crew, pumped them up with coffee and donuts and we had the thing loaded in 3 hours. When we moved up here, we had serious space issues. So we packed it in tight for about 2/3 the truck and then we just ran out of stuff! So we created a netting out of some rope in case something decides to fall forward. We'll see how it goes. So now I am sitting in an empty house blogging. Only the essentials- laptop on a wireless connection and a tv with a Laker game on (albeit summer league)

The funny thing about moving is that it makes you think about friendships. You suddenly realize the many friendships you have in a place, some just great people you see occasionally, and others that you develop life long relationships with. Despite me trying to not make friends here, because I knew we'd be moving- I have met plenty of great people here. Some I will surely never see again in my life- others that are like you and will read my blog for the years to come. Despite the challenges of Pullman, I have met some great people here. Moving also makes me think about all the places I have been, and all the old friends that I have left behind. Although the internet has made it much easier to stay connected. With blogs, email, facebook, and the like- I can pretty easily update folks on my life and figure out what is going on with theirs.
So to all my dear friends reading this blog- either from Pullman or Davis, Simi or Redondo- here's to you! Thanks for all the memories, and thanks for staying in contact. I'll never show it emotionally, but you are all dear to me and I look forward to hanging out with you at some point in the future! (Some as soon as 2 weeks!)

Last note: stay tuned- I will be attempting to blog the road trip from my cell phone. Hopefully will get some fun photos for you!
