We All Live on the Edge of Town


View Larger Map

Thats how we roll. At least, thats how we are planning on rolling when we go back. In 64 days well be picking up a U Haul trailer and loading it, the Jeep and Truck with all our worldly possessions. My mom and Bruce are flying out to help us with the drive. Theyll be driving Jaimes Patriot while Jaime, Jack, Hudson and I pull the U Haul trailer with my truck.

Im very excited about this trip for a couple reasons. Im ready for a road trip and 2000 miles definitely qualifies. Im excited to put my truck to the test. Ive used some of its capabilities taking scrap metal to the junk yard but I havent used it to tow anything yet. Mostly though Im excited to be going back to Michigan. Im excited for trees, and forests and grass. Im excited for Festival and cookouts and Mario Kart Tournaments. Im excited about the chance to buy a house. We should be gone before we get too many 110 degree days here and then in a couple months it will be winter. Winter as I know and love it. The most important thing is that well be close to most of our friends and Jack will be able to spend time with most of his family. (Aunt Jenna and uncle Brett need to move back to Grand Rapids now too.)

Thats not to say I wont miss some things about Phoenix. It will suck not being close to Zac and Teresa. I love the mountians. 99 percent of the cars here dont have any real rust on them so work is easy.
