Having gotten that out of the way, I never want to be in a car again for the rest of my life.
Montana was the most beautiful (and unpopulated) place I've ever traveled through. There is so much seemingly-untouched wilderness and glorious nature. The Idaho panhandle was breathtaking too.
We also saw the most spectacular rainbow I've ever seen in the mountains.
Then Puddin took over driving for a while because Topher and I were tired.
The whole trip took us five days. This is largely because we couldn't drive at night. Topher's Grand Marquis, Megalodon, has a gremlin in the headlights. It's a known issue with those cars and there is actually a recall out for them, but the parts at the dealership were on back order until June 30th, which was yesterday. That obviously didn't work for us. Anyhow, we had to stop early enough in inhabited areas to keep us from getting stuck.
I'm thrilled we're here. The apartment is roomy and has abundant natural light. I scoured all the surfaces and we made our requisite Ikea trip.
99% of our belongings will arrive on a truck tomorrow morning. Then movers will come haul it all in and we can begin the process of making this place a home. I can't wait. We've been sitting on two flimsy patio chairs Topher bought (eventually to be relegated to the porch) after our arrival, eating off of paper plates, and sleeping on a leaky air mattress. I awake in the morning to my booty touching the floor. I am too old to sleep on the floor. First world problems.
Hopefully next time I write a post it will be from the Big Kid Computer and not my phone.
Rarrr,
Jax
