We finally got everything moved out of our house and we have hit the road! Well, hit the road to Fairfax to spend the rest of the week with my parents, but we aren’t in Raleigh any more! We got a little choked up watching our house get smaller in the rearview mirror. Change is hard. But adventure awaits! Leaving our outdoor cat Poofy was heart wrenching, and as much as I would have liked to give her a good scratch goodbye, she was aloof and wanted none of my man action. (I don’t typically refer to petting a cat as “man action”, but it’s fitting in this context because I was really gonna give her some intense see ya later lovin’.) But as I’ve said before, she is in good hands while we are gone. Our other cat, CJ, has settled in nicely at my parents’ house. She has a big fenced in back yard to sunbathe and no random strays to keep her inside. My parents’ cat, Fender (who some of you may remember us rescuing a year ago), has taken a break from being a douche and has left CJ well enough alone.

Monday, we head out on our first loop. West Virginia – Kentucky – Tennessee then back to Raleigh for a wedding. But after that it’s see ya later suckers! And by suckers, I mean all my good friends who I already miss.
