Adventure!

Here we are, on our journey to Utah. The sky is clear, the mountains are beautiful, and my belly is full of McDonald's.

For once I am able to write this in present tense, because I'm writing it as it happens, on Mum's phone.

I'm feeling comfortable. It's not too hot, nor too cold (at least in the chassy of this 17-foot moving van), my pillow is soft and fluffy underneath my bottom, and the views are wonderful. I'm just hoping that I can remain this optimistic for the whole ride.

(past tense now) This morning was eventful. We woke up early, Meredith came over and we said some final goodbyes (half asleep, I might add). We finished stuffing the van as full as it would allow, after which we realized that we should've gotten the next size up. The only furniture that we packed were an old loveseat and our antique coffee table.

It was hard to leave. That was my home, where I've grown up my entire life. I'll miss the woods, especially. We had to say goodbye to the house that we've put our hearts into. We had to say "see you later" to Dad, Harrison, and Rosie.

But there will always be bigger and better things out there. There'll be other houses, nicer woods, and better locations.

(present tense) I'm a tad concerned for poor Pimmy. It's tough on her, being a little cat in a big, angry car. I think her calming drugs are wearing off, too. When I saw her when we stopped at McDonalds, she was shaking and breathing too quickly. I'm just hoping that this isn't traumatic for her.

Overall, everything's going well.

I'm excited to see all the family!

Keep checking in, I'll try and keep updating.
