No, not the Green Bay Packers, thank God. The fine packers from our local Allied Van Lines agency are here and going through the house like Sherman's march to Atlanta (I think I got my history straight). Like it or not, the wheels are in motion for our journey to the Pacific Northwest.
Was able to see my folks for a couple days and they helped us get the house ready for the packers. Also went down to Purdue on Monday to see some old friends. Nice to say good-bye one last time to everyone who used to be a small drive away.
Was impressed to see a Potbelly's down in West Lafayette. Potbelly's was a favorite sandwich hangout of Amy and mine back in Chicago. Back then it was a small hole-in-the-wall on Franklin. In fact, I'm pretty sure Amy and I provided all the capital the owners needed to launch new stores!
We are staying at the Holiday Inn in Michigan City the next couple of nights. Saturday morning the bus picks us up at the hotel and takes us to O'Hare. Very convenient.
Believe it or not, Spencer is excited about the move. He keeps asking every time he gets in the car "Are we going to Seattle?" (or as he pronouces it... see-ah-TOE). We'll see how he reacts once we are there, when I can just see a chorus of "are we going home?" from him.
Will keep everyone posted on our activity via this blog. Great to get all the feedback from people that actually take time out of their busy day to read this.
