If The Truck's A-Rockin'

Well all of our stuff is down in Tulsa now, but we are missing a couple of necessary things, like cable TV, the internet, washer and dryer, and a refrigerator... most of those will be solved by this weekend. Hopefully.

The move down was about as least fun as possible. We had to skirt storms all the way down which had very high winds. The truck rocked side to side so much that it "bottomed out" twice and I had to take evasive maneuvers to avoid from tipping over. By the time we pulled into Wichita (the halfway point) the tornado sirens were going off and we got to spend a couple minutes in a basement while we decided where we wanted to eat dinner.

But besides trying to figure things out in a new city without the internet (how did people survive ten years ago?) The rest of the weekend in Tulsa was good. Now were are in Manhattan so that Nicole can defend her master's report on Tuesday. Then it is back down to Tulsa "for good" so that we can be there for the fridge delivery on Wednesday. Then to start the new job on Monday.

This is what it felt like driving the truck, but with more rocking back and forth... and going about 60-70mph. (My tires never left the pavement.)

Move along little doggies

Today we are packing up and heading out to Tulsa, here is the part of the house that we lived in for the last couple of months.

+1 House

Over the last weekend (Friday-Tuesday) Nicole and I (and co.) were in Tulsa looking for a house to live in so that when we start work there on the 16th of June we have somewhere to go home to. As luck would have it we did find a house, so, self-fulfilling prophecy I guess.

The house that we found is on the southeast part of town which is in a semi-developed area. We are at the end of a cul-de-sac so there shouldn't be too much car noise. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with dog yapping noise because every time we went there there was some small dog on both sides yapping at us to stay away.

The house has a good deal of living room downstairs and the kitchen and eat-in area are fairly large, while the upstairs has a large game room and three small bedrooms. There isn't too much spectacular with the house but it is a good one, and that is good enough for me.

Also the house is close to the mall so Nicole can go shopping there. ^_^

Cribs

Before we start to pack up everything to move into the new house I decided to give you all a look at my place. I know that it seems very luxurious but if you work hard for your masters then you too can live in such a spectacular place. Behold:

Times are a-changing

I do not like change much. I don't fear change or anything, but if I find something that works for me I would rather just leave it alone. So that is why these next couple of months are going to be so strange, there is going to be alot of change.
My stay in the Jardine Apartments will come to an end at seven years during the next week as I move into my sister's (Jenette's) new house that they just bought out in Saint George. Then a couple of months after that my eight year streak of living in Manhattan will end when Nicole and I move down to Tulsa to take jobs at a statistical software company. Hopefully, we will buy a house down there as well.

Oh, also I checked this morning and the internet didn't know that "porcupines are not soft", so I thought I would let it know.
