Well, the move was a success. We are grateful to our family and friends for helping us pack up the boxes and the moving truck! Only a couple of things broke during the move.

It normally takes about 11 hours to get to Chicago from TN; however, with the truck and our frequent stops it took us a little longer (like 15 hours). The trip had some excitement; we saw a deer run across the interstate and slam into the side of a car (poor deer), a Mustang on the side of the road exploding, we helped a trucker at a gas station fix his rig, and at almost midnight the moving truck began pouring gas all over the ground! :) We finally made it in to our new home about 1:30 in the morning (central time) on Monday....and then finally got some rest. We awoke early Monday morning and started unpacking. We got everything out of the truck by about lunch time.
This first week here in Chicago has mostly been about us unpacking and getting settled into the neighborhood. We have walked around the neighborhood some and driven around to get our bearings.
I will post again in a couple of days to share more about the weekend activities...just wanted to share about the move. It was good...we made it...and it's just a bit strange knowing that this is our new home!
Onward we go.....
