We made it!!!

Well me and Marshall were off on Saturday afternoon around one. We drove and drove and drove :) Just kidding it wasn't that bad at all. I drove the first leg of the trip. We had agreed that I would drive during the day and he would do the night driving. I have horrible night vision so we thought that it was a good arrangment. It was great to be in the car and talk and just hang out. The weather wasn't bad at all. I talked with my family and apparently we left just in time because when I called them the first time we were filling up gas they said that they were getting a snow storm and that the ground was already covered. I am glad we left when we did.
The roads were great until we hit Aspen and Vail. It was a good thing that we were going through there at night because the traffic would have been horrible during the day. The only bad thing was that the roads were not really painted that well and it was hard to see the lines. I was tense and I wasn't even the one driving. But he got us through it safely :)
We drove until about 4 in the morning and then decided to get a couple hours sleep in a hotel and take a break. We drive to a couple of different places that wouldn't give us a room for the day. They said that we would have to be out by noon. That wouldn't have given us enough sleep. We were really looking for a place that would give us a check out at 2:30 or what not. We drove to the next town and found a Holiday Inn that would give us a late check out. We both just crashed the minute we hit the pillow. It was nice. We woke up in the morning earlier then we wanted to so instead of sitting around we went and got some lunch and then hit the road. On that first day we made it all the way to Kansas.
It started to drizzle as we were finishing up our lunch in Kansas so we hurry up and left so that we could try and beat the weather. We dealt with a little rain but nothing too bad. We eventually got ahead of it and it was smooth sailing again.
We didn't stop that night. We thought about it but we just wanted to get home and settled in as soon as we coculd. When Marshall got tired I took over the driving so that he could get a little sleep in the car. We hit some bumpy roads so it was a little hard for him to sleep but he got a little bit.
When we were in making our last fill up I switched him places again so that he could drive the last leg. I didn't want to do the last of it because I had no idea where I was going in town and he knew more of his way around. I fell asleep a couple of times before making to the apartment. I guess not sleeping the night before was catching up with me.
We finally got to the apartment. It was great getting out of the car knowing that we were actually here! We were both starting to get really tired of being in the car. When we got here Marshall unpacked the car and brought it all in. Which I have to tell you is as full as it could get. Seriously I wish that we took a picture of how full it was because it was pretty bad. We totally forgot to take the picture until Marshall had already unpacked the car. He said that he wasn't packing it back up :) I would never even think about asking him to do that.
After we unpacked the car we got back into it so that we could drive him to pick up his truck at work. It was a little hectic because traffic out here is INSANE!!! I hope that I don't get in a wreck anytime soon. Once we got that taken care of we went to the store and grabbed stuff for hot dogs and hamburgers...they were really yummy.
I didn't really unpack a lot that first night. We were both so tired. We got into our comfortable bed and both passed out :)
We spent all of the next day unpacking and getting things that we needed to both get all settled in. We went grocery shopping. It was fun looking around the big store that has a ton. I might go and get some lunch there while Marshall is out of town just to see how it is.
Marshall has been great with everything and helping me get settled. Last night we finally got all settled in for the most part. It feels great to be settled. Unpacking the clothes was a little tough because apparently I have too many clothes according to Marshall :) Oh well we worked it all out. Once we have a dresser things will fit better in there place.
Marshall left this morning for his first trip since I have been here. I know that he is worried about me but I will be just fine. He thinks that I won't wander out of the apartment :) I now know where Target and Weigmens is so I think that I am set to go if I need to go out and get something.
Today I applied for a couple of jobs and we will see what happens. I will cross my fingers that something will work out because I can already tell you that I am bored of sitting at home with nothing to watch on t.v. I know that there is always temporary work that I can do. I have thought about applying at the Applebee's that is by Target but we are going to wait to see if I hear from some other places first.
Just thought that I would catch everyone up and let them know that we are getting settled in. Thank you everyone for all the help you gave us!
