First Journal Entry


The countdown has begun!  Okay, technically I've been counting down for the past few months, but now that my BIG MOVE TO OREGON is only 12 days away, I figured I ought to start documenting it.  Because an event didn't really happen if it wasn't photographed, right?  Anyway, the purpose of this blog is to document my week-long trek across the United States and serve as a vehicle (puns!) for sharing the experience with my friends and family.

Today was my last day at work.  Everybody was really encouraging of my venture and gave me a ton of travel stuff (snacks, road activity books, a compass, etc.).  Next week begins the mad rush to pack, get the car ready, deal with banks and apartment complexes, emotionally prepare my cat for the temporary separation we will experience, and make sure nothing is forgotten.  So I'm on the verge of being overwhelmed.  But I'm holding steady!  Gotta make a list of supplies to buy.  Anybody know where I can get some cattle tongues?
