Finally out of PA!

After being stuck in Pittsburgh for a few days due to the ice storm, Joe and I are finally in Nashville! Driving through Ohio today was a nightmare. Ohio has earned a D- for it's poor ability to clean the roads. We had to drive on this for all but about 40 miles!!


Even though Kentucky looked as if they got more ice due to the number of snapped trees, there roads were amazingly clear. They earn an A in my book!! Here are some photos of the ice destruction in Kentucky....



Then the sun came out as we entered Tennessee...

Then we took this cool little motorcycle taxi with Warren from our hotel into downtown Nashville for dinner and back again. Here's a view from inside the passenger cabin...

We're on the road!

The movers came bright and early, 7:45am to be exact, on Saturday and picked up all 3600 lbs of stuff we own and we've finally started our trek from PA to Dallas! Of course, due to the weather we've already had to alter our travel plans and are stuck in Pittsburgh for an extra day. Then we'll skip Kentucky and head straight to Nashville on Wednesday morning as long as the roads are clear. Hopefully we'll have internet at the upcoming hotels so that I can keep everybody updated.

Hope you're all staying warmer than we are in frigid PA!


Here are some picks from the pickup:
-half of our boxes

-the moving truck

-the truck is on it's way to Texas!

Back in the USA!

We're back!!

We've been keeping busy entertaining ourselves since we've been back.

-Christmas

-rabbit hunting


-New Year's Eve
unfortunately, we never got our cameras out on NYE, so I don't have any photos. But it was damn cold that night... walking home at 3am and it was only 16 degrees F outside!!

-Bridal Fashion Show for the shop where I got my dress

-Jacqui's visit (Yuengling Brewery & Penn State)



Since we're currently in a hotel at PSU, I've finally been able to upload some pictures. Hopefully this will tide you all over until we get to Dallas and have real internet again!
