I'm not sure I would have gone from the warmth to the cold, hahaha :D It is always cold here where I live, haha. But would so love more warmth. Sigh. But this move sounds so awesome too, and I would have loved the road trip, though my body would not have been able to handle it at all. Ugh. Best of luck Karen :D You can do it. <3 And I'm sure it will be so great to move to a new place :)Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-14556461819766841702019-03-02T12:56:52.049-05:002019-03-02T12:56:52.049-05:00From southeast to northwest, good luck moving!

We moved with 5 dogs, 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs, and three kids, so I know the feeling! ;) It took everyone a month or so to settle in and reestablish boundaries, but we're getting there. We also didn't move that far away! Good luck, and I hope audiobooks work for you. If not, that's a long car ride. I don't know if you're like me, but reading in a car makes me super sick. It's audio or nothing!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-36336607411128457432019-02-10T04:28:25.467-05:002019-02-10T04:28:25.467-05:00I'm late to this post but that move sounds exh...I'm late to this post but that move sounds exhausting and you've not actually started the actually journey yet. It will be great, though, I think new things can be awesome, even though it means big changes. It will be a whole new adventure which will be worth it in the end.

I can't even imagine doing on the back of everything else involved in moving! Sending lots of luck and patience to you in the coming weeks and congrats to your husband on his new job. <br />I wish I could offer you audiobook recommendations but I'm still learning how to work those too... The Rick Riordan ones seem to be quite good! I'm listening to the Heroes of Olympus series and it's going well. Good stories, non-annoying narrator.
