This just in...

Pibbs loves this place too!!!

The way it should be

Today we woke up and knew that it would be a MUCH better day then yesterday. We drove just about 11 hours total today and found ourselves on some random road in Stanfield AZ. It just so happens that we booked reservations at one of the nicest places we have ever been too! John Waynes ranch is just down the street and he used to visit the hotel often! We got here around 7 and ate dinner outside with Pibbs in 70 degree weather. We sat for a long time eating and laughing and talking about how we can't wait to finally find California tomorrow. It was a great day and we have pictures to prove it. Check out the photos of Nick doing an Ollie at every place we stopped, the car that was engulfed in flames that we drove past, and the sunset on the 8. Hope you are all doing great, we miss you and will report more tomorrow!

 

A series of unfortunate events...

Let me start off by saying that we are safe and happy and just woke up to a chubby bulldog hogging the covers at a Days Inn in Albuquerque New Mexico....but it took us everything we had to get here. On Monday morning between between calling for car insurance and eating pancakes we realized that the chicken wishbone that we had been saving for months was left in our moving truck.... and so was Pibbs. Well when we went to the truck to check on him the wishbone was gone. This led us to believe Pibbs ate it so we rushed him to the vet for xrays...$240 dollars, and a clean xray later we found out that he hadnt eaten the bone. Next Nick discovers that the lights on our moving truck aren't working so we had to unload and reload an new truck! The day was crazy but we finally hit the road at around two thirty and made it to NM at eleven pm. Lets hope today goes a little better! Miss you all and we will write from Phoenix! P.S. New Mexico is NOT enchanting.

San Diego sounds pretty nice right about now....

Nick and I woke up today only to find out that neither of us would have to go to work (on our last day) because of all this snow we got. So instead of laying around inside all day we decided to put on all of our snowboarding gear and go for a walk to the store....bad idea. It took us such a long time to get there and we could barely see but it made for a good story and we got some great pictures. Just another great reason for wanting to move to San Diego! Only 6 days left!

Peace Out Party

On Saturday night Nick and I had a going away party in Broomfield with about 40 of our closest friends. The party was a blast and we were so happy to be able to say goodbye to our good friends one more time before we head off to California. Only 8 more days left in Colorado!

Takin it easy- Pibbs style

Mr. Pibbs has been pretty relaxed through all the packing and preparation for California. We think he may be having dreams about dog beach and long walks along the lagoon. What a goon.

Road trip plans

When we planned out the road trip we decided there was no other option but to stop in VEGAS on the way through. Upon further examination we have come to the conclusion that it would result in low funds, a night without sleep, and a possible wedding.... so Vegas was out of the question. Instead we plan to stop in "Mini Vegas" aka Mesquite NV and hopefully it will just involve a calm night and a sleepy bulldog.

Here is our path for the trip!

Stay tuned for pictures from the trip...

The Condo

Here is the first photo of our condo in Encinitas! Aunt Loopy was nice enough to check out the place to make sure it wasn't in a trailer park and she took some photos so that we could see what we are getting ourselves into. Looks pretty nice too us but we are a little worried about the bulldog on the hardwood floors. In other words...we are taking in rug donations!

Packing up apt. 204

Nick and I thought it would be a great idea to start a blog to let our friends and family know what we are up to during and after our move to California. 14 days left in Colorado and there is so much to do! We spent the weekend packing the contents of Apt. 204 which is where we have called home for the past two years. After donating and throwing away as much as possible we think we might be able to fit the rest of our belongings in our new 650 sqft apartment in Encinitas, California. We are going to miss all of you so much but we know that many of you will come to visit!
