*This picture doesn't have anything to do with this post, but I can't very well post without including a picture of Calder.Well, we made it. We're 90% unpacked and we LOVE our house. It is so cute. Once we get 100% unpacked I'll post pictures. Everything fits so well and Calder has been sleeping pretty well in his own room.
The trip was uneventful for me. I drove with Jason's mom (Kathy), Calder and Deebo in the car. Jason drove the truck by himself. He actually beat us to the hotel on Friday night. He made great time and I think we would have made it there at the same time if I didn't have a few errands to do before leaving Hyde Park.
The second day we were getting on the freeway and I was following Jason. He didn't seem to be accelerating much but he was in a massive truck. We passed him and didn't think anything of it. Well, apparently he wasn't accelerating past 40mph and his check engine light was on. He got off at the next exit and was sure he was going to have to call Penske and wait forever for them to come. He tried waiting 10 minutes for the engine to cool (even though he had just left the hotel and it was a cool morning). Then he warmed the truck up for 10 minutes and the check engine light went off! Yay! So he drove until he had to get gas and the stupid check engine light came on again and he couldn't accelerate past 40mph. He tried the same trick and it seemed to work. I'm so glad it was him not me. Our house is on a narrow road and there was a sign that says 'no trucks'. Jason drove right down and parked on the sidewalk in front of our house. We didn't get towed.
We had 5 guys here to help us move in. It was so quick since they didn't have to carry everything down 3 flights of stairs. The couple who own the house were also here doing yard work. How sweet is that? They are the nicest people. It's nice to have a great yard and flowers (and a guy who comes to mow the yard). I'll post pictures of that too.
It was so nice to have Jason's mom here. She made the move so much easier. Otherwise I couldn't have really done much. She took Calder and Deebo for long walks almost every day she was here so I could get everything done. She is fantastic!

Wow, you're all moved now!! I hope you are liking Columbus. Can't wait to see pics of the house! Seeing that picture with your orange wall made me think, did you have to paint over it before you moved?
Nope. Thankfully they had to do other remodeling so they were going to paint. It would have been a beast to paint. I feel bad for the poor guy who has to do it.
Yea you made it! A house! What would that be like?! Glad you made it safe.
I am so glad you made it!! I want to come see you and the house. Have you heard any more from Cathleen? Glad you got to enjoy the wonderful Central Ohio thunderstorms the past couple of days too!
Glad your trip went relatively smoothly. Can't wait to see pictures of the house!
I'm so glad your move went well and you're almost done unpacking. I made Robert drive the truck alone from Arizona to Chicago and he hated it. I think I shot myself in the foot cause I can't convince him to do the same with this move.
