We left Cleveland around 2:30 last Monday. Because I hadn’t slept the night before the move, I was really dragging on the drive here. I had to make six stops for coffee, pop, and food. Somewhere along the way I came to the realization that I wasn’t driving away to somewhere, I was actually driving home. Once that sunk in, the rest of the drive was pretty easy. We arrived at our new place around 10:30. TB was waiting for us with the keys (and dinner) but he had to leave shortly after that. By the time I finally went to sleep I had been awake for 40 hours straight. I would not suggest driving the PA turnpike without sleep. I plan to never do that again.

Our movers arrived Tuesday morning and had everything unloaded by about 1:00pm. We got lunch and visited the huge Target across the street.

On Wednesday we got the cable internet activated but then had problems with one of the cable boxes. We started to unpack a lot of stuff but didn’t get vary far. In the evening we took a drive to Widener to see what Megan’s drive to school will be like. After that, we went to our local Borders and then to Super-G, where we got new Bonus Cards. I found it unusual that the store didn’t sell beer. Later in the evening we found that grocery stores don’t sell beer in Delaware. TB said that he remembered finding it unusual that grocery stores did sell beer in Ohio. Oh well. Later that night we searched online for a car for Megan.

On Thursday, TB came back with some more stuff and we drove with him to his mom’s work to swap vehicles. Along the way we took pictures of a few post offices. Megan made calls to auto insurance places and car dealerships while we were out.

On Friday we drove around to a whole bunch of different stores to get some rendom things for the apartment and just to see what is in the area. We went to Genuardi’s and got a Club Card. We’re going to go to all of the different grocery stores a few times before we decide which one we like best. Megan looked around some more online and found a couple cars that she was interested in. She also talked to someone at a dealership that had a car that seemed to fit all of her requirements, so she made an apointment to test drive it on Saturday.

We woke up a little later than we would have liked on Saturday and went to the the car dealership to check out the car. It’s a 1995 Saturn SL2 with 62000 miles. It was in really good shape and seemed to run very well. Megan put a deposit on it and is going to pick it up next Saturday. I’ll have details about the car later.

After we got home we hung out for a little while and then went to a bunch of different stores, looking for random things and just trying to waste some time.

Tomorrow (later today), I’m going to get up, pack some things and drive back to Cleveland with Megan. I’m going to be working at my old job for another few weeks until I find something in the area, and I have my replacement trained. I really wish I didn’t have to go back to Cleveland but it’s all about the money right now. Hopefully a cool job in the Philly area will appear soon.

Anyway, I’m really loving our new place and can’t wait until I’m able to actually stay here full time.
