Easter Sunday

Today is Easter. It's also the first day I've actually missed being in California.

I've never not celebrated Easter so I'm not really sure what to do with myself today.

Anyways -

Marshel just finished his first week of working at his new job! He even worked OT (even though it doesn't count at OT) I'm so very proud of him. :-)

We both absolutely love it here at our new home! Only issues have been with the leasing office... turns out we're living here illegally! OoOoOoh lol

Yuriy turned 19 months old on Friday and taught himself how to work the child safety latch on the cabinet. That boy is so smart! Definitely keeps everyone on their toes. :-)

I'm still looking for work, unfortunately... but I've been maintaining the apartment as best I can to keep myself from getting cabin fever. It's working. :-)

Yesterday Marshel, Robert, and I went to Riley's gun shop to look around. It was a sight to see let me tell you! You could pick up a gun off of a rack just like you'd pick a shirt off of a rack at target! Awesome!

We saw our first snow/slush too which was really neat.

Well, I think that's about it for updates in the life of Us right now.

I'll be sure to blog more often too.

First day at our new home

We woke up after everyone had already left for work so it's been very quiet. (except that the upstairs neighbors seem to be rebuilding the entire apartment lol)

The rain has not stopped so it has been quite the task to unload the car. So far we've got all of the clothes and bags out but that's about it. Oh, and I learned how NOT to open an umbrella lol...

Right now we are just relaxing and unwinding from the trip.

Home sweet home!

Rolled into Nashua, NH at about 12:30 am and went straight to bed!

Surprise!

Our Garmin took us a different route than expected - which is a little disappointing since we were looking forward to passing though Scranton, PA.

But anyway...

Just passed through Pennsylvania to New York :-)

Stretch!

Just stopped about 40 miles outside if Erie, Pennsylvania for gas and a much needed coffee and muffin break. :-)

Soft water is the worse thing ever!!

We stopped at a Hampton Inn in Dayton, Ohio for the night but we were too exhausted to blog.

The time difference is now 3 hours and we haven't quite adjusted yet.

Yesterday we drove from Oklahoma City, O.K. to Dayton, O.H. - that's 3 1/2 states!!

The remainder of Oklahoma was the same as the rest of it, just fields. Missouri was more entertaining as every other billboard we saw was an ad for either Adult Superstores! or Fireworks. Turns out there isn't a whole lot to do in Missouri aside from farm, watch porn and blow things up.

The Arc in St. Louis was pretty exciting to see as we crossed the Mississippi River to get into Illinois. After a few hours of being on the road we crossed into Indiana and decided that since Indianapolis sits pretty much in the middle of the state and it would only take a few hours to get there we might as well push through to Ohio.

Lots of roadkill along the way, mostly deer.

It's very green up here and instead of farmland we are now flanked by trees along the road, which is much nicer to look at and we still get a kick out of not being surrounded by mountains.

According to my GPS we're about 865 miles away from our new home.

Almost there!

Just crossed into Indiana! Gonna try and push through to Ohio tonight.
