Meredith and I arrived safely. So did our stuff, for the most part. The furniture had dings and a few glass items were broken, but for the most part nothing was lost. I've now got all my utilities up and running. We are, however, completely broke. Moving's so gosh darn expensive! I must say, that I am glad I wasn't driving the truck. The last time I moved across the country, I drove a Ryder truck towing my own truck behind from Arizona to Pennsylvania. I'd wake up every day feeling completely stressed out. It wasn't so bad for me this time, though I think Meredith was a bit overwhelmed.
And as for the Pacific Northwest. . . it's beautiful and sunny. I can see the mountains in the distance and there's a nice cool breeze blowing through the windows.
I'll write more soon.

Hey Oliver -- Welcome to the West Coast :) Glad to hear the move went relatively smoothly. Looking forward to hearing more.
Congrats on making it up to the NW all in one piece! Welcome. Let us know when your first reading in Seattle is, so we can show up and clap loudly :)
HappyHappyJoyJoy!
Glad you made it all safe and sound! Welcome to the Great NW!
Moving cross-country is always very taxing/stressful--so glad to hear you made it relatively unscathed. I've obviously missed out on some key reading here, but I'm assuming you have new position? Hopefully someplace really wonderful? Congrats!
Thanks all!
Glad to hear you made it safely. Was beginning to worry. Welcome to the West!

I think that makes half of the Utica bloggers from the beginning of the year that are no longer in Utica. Oh, how I envy you.
