So at long last the job offer was made and accepted and the time came for me to pack up and head North. Since I rarely remember to take pictures of anything I am doing I thought I should take some shots of my move. Nothing super fancy or exciting, but hey... pictures!

My "ten foot" truck. They didn't have a ten footer so I got a sixteen foot truck instead. Lucky me... more space than I needed and worse on gas. But hey... they didn't charge me extra. The hotel in the background is where I have spent the past 3 years working. I will miss some of the people I worked with but I am glad to be leaving TN. |

Bridge over the river that separates Kentucky from Illinois. I have crossed this bridge many times over the past 3 months. |
 |
The sign up ahead... that means I am now "home". |

Where did all the trees go?? One of the things I loved about TN was the trees. Everywhere you drove it was like driving down a tunnel of trees they were so thick on both sides. I meant to take a picture of that but well... I tend to forget to take pictures in case you didn't know. |

Home. This is where I will be living for the next stage of my life. The apartment complex has a town home feel to it, mine is on the 2nd floor far left, you can see the dining room window. |

30814, that is mine. |

Lots of work still to do before the boxes are all empty and the place becomes more like a home but I was blessed to have some members of the ward show up and help me get my super heavy furniture inside (that leather sofa is a nightmare to move but ohhhhh so comfy to sit on)
I love the layout of this apartment, it is a one bedroom with a den (my guest room/movie room), has a fireplace and a spacious bathroom that has an oversized tub and a shower head that is taller than I am! The shower head at my last house was about a foot lower than I am and not fun to use. I don't like the lack of ceiling lights in the bedroom/den (will have to buy some floor lamps) and the parking is a bit of a challenge, but overall it is a true improvement over my previous residence.
So, for those that want to know, here is my new address:
30814 Village Green Boulevard
Warrenville, IL 60555
Now I must return to the task of unpacking all the boxes cluttering up my living room and finding out just what I still need to buy to make this place "home". Guess I know what I will be doing this weekend. For as much as I dislike moving I sure seem to be doing it a lot lately.

Welcome Home! We need to head down for a visit!
ReplyDeleteYou are more than welcome to come visit anytime!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to come see you in your new place. May be a while, but at least I know where the hotel is and what the layout of the land is, which is fantastic! Thanks for posting the photos! That's so fun!
