Whoa! Hey, my congratulations to GMT. And glad to hear you folks got the house.
That's two items down, one to go. And I trust that item #3 will also fall in place...

Congratulations. I'm sure you'll find a job soon enough. And look at the bright side, you can now get completely settled in your new home.

Yaaay!
It won't hurt that you'll be in the second largest metro area in the US. Should be more postdoc jobs than just about every place.

Exhausted
DH said the test went pretty well, and the reunion was fun. People were actually getting along....
Two comments from friends really sum up the night..."Either the assh*les were plastered or they kept it to themselves.." and "Wow, your class has less of a stick up its a$$ than my class did..."
Who else has been to a reunion and found it extremely creepy that:
1. Everyone instantly breaks up into the same groups as before
2. Said groups gravitate to the same parts of the room as before
3. You're sitting with the people you ate lunch with every day when you were 15, and you're discussing kids and houses and law school and grad school.

Got my 10 year next year (that is still really hard to admit) but #3 does kinda freak me out when I run into someone and they mention a kid/husband/wife.

We're Hee-eere
We're in Fresno. Safe and Sound.
Pictures tomorrow when my brain works and/or I get the wi-fi all hooked up to Mom's computer....
Now, if the folks we're supposed to meet with will just call back so we can get into our house....

Rest Stop...
We're in Medford, OR, crashing and resting up for our last big road day tomorrow. We'll have lunch with a friend in Stockton, and hopefully arrive in Fresno tomorrow afternoon sometime. Then it's off to Pasadena to meet the potential future landlords and then back to Fresno for a few days.
Last night was our stop over in Spokane, where we had dinner with Margi and Mitch and The Boy. Between pasta and ice cream, we had a really great visit and laughed so much I think we chased people out of the restaurant!
And don't let her tell you she looks like a horse or a house or a whale, or anything else like that. You look great, sweetie!
Tomorrow home, and after the 8th or 9th, more pictures from the road....

OnThe Road AGAIN....
DH and I are in Harrison, OH: exactly 1 mile from what would be our 6th state of the day.... but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
For those of you keeping track, that's NC, VA, WV, KY, and now OH... and more different freeways than I can count....
The Princess has been very good so far, she even helped her Daddy get $$ today!

Next stop: La Crosse, WI, and if all goes well, dinner with my
blogchild.
After that:
7/3 Rapid City, SD
7/4 Billings, MT
7/5 Spokane, WA and hoping to meet up with these folks
7/6 Medford, OR
7/7 Fresno, CA (my parent's house)
7/8 Pasadena, CA (to meet the potential landlords)
7/9 Fresno, CA.
You'll forgive me if I don't see you until the 10th or so
The moving went really, really well. The movers were really nice and very efficient and careful. I can't say enough how nice they were. It remains to be seen how well I like them after we get the stuff.....
One last funny before I go...
I couldn't get a photo of the sign because there was a truck in the way, but there is a State Park in KY called Big Bone Lick.... and it's in Richwood.
Draw your own conclusions.....

Looks like you're taking the scenic route, almost a mirror image of what I did in 1993 when I moved from San Diego Chicago by way of New Orleans. Enjoy!
