Packing Up the Apartment

     I should introduce myself, I am Megan.  My husband's name is Scott and we have a 2 year old dog named Whiskey.  Scott was born and live in the Seattle area for about 25 years.  After some more years of doing other things life brought him to Alabama.  Where he met me, a Southern native.  I have always lived in the same general area.  After figuring out what a great gal I was, he bought a dog.  I think this was to keep me around.  Well it worked, we have been married for just over a year now.

       After some things seem to be falling into place we have decided to pack up our apartment and the dog, and take a 4 days road trip and move to Seattle.  This blog will be about our adventure on the open road and how this Southern girl will make it in the big city!  I hope you will take this ride with us. It will be a great one I am sure!

      Packing up the apartment is going better than expected!  Scott and I went to Wal-Mart and purchased some small boxes, packing paper, and bubble wrap.  These few boxes only contain the glassware and shot glasses we have accumulated over the last 3 years.  Since we obviously needed more boxes I went digging through the trash...yes that's right, I went dumpster diving.  We live right behind a T. J. Maxx.  They get delivers every other day, I stopped paying attention really.  I didn't get in the dumpster, I tried not to touch it, to get the boxes.  These hold vastly more stuff than the others.  So, back to the dumpster I will go.

      Whiskey did not understand why we rearranged the dinning room and dismantling the dinning room table.  He had this look of panic and confusion on his face.  I am sure he will be quite confused for a long while.  We are taking him away from everything he knows.  But, we are going to try and make this as painless as possible for him.  Since we are going in hubby's car, he will be able to have his own bed in the back seat.  He also has two stuff animals that he loves and they will be able to ride with him too.  Thankfully we will not have to stop too many times for him to eat, drink, and do is business.  This will give us a chance to break up the driving and walk around a bit. 

I guess I better get going and start sorting and packing!
