Chicago, we have left the city. Cincinnati, we have arrived. After several days of frantic packing, tearful goodbyes and the discovery 
of dust bunnies the size of rottweilers we were finally heading to our new home by 2:15 CST.

Every time he had to make a turn or navigate a curve he had to stabilize our very heavy chandler so that it would not slam him in the temple and knock him out. Patty and I took off at 80 mph in the Mazda with a mewing cat and a screaming baby. Luckily they took turns on who got to be the vocal one. As we cruised down 94 the skyline shrank behind me...and yes it made me sad (no, really, just a little bit...I am rock afterall!!).

Alcohol". We meet our other movers tomorrow at 1:00....watch out squirrels, here we come.
Many thanks for the many calls, texts and messages wising us well. Hugs and kisses to our coffee
and bagels suppliers...you made our morning bearable.
and bagels suppliers...you made our morning bearable. I'm going to go pretend to be awake for the UNC game...
Good night Chicago, sleep tight. I know I will.
**Lauren, as we drove by Demotte we gave you a shout out...welcome back to the midwest!

that is one dang full truck - we are glad that you made it safely and we certainly miss you already.
The City's a little colder without the Neyer clan here.... Good luck and we miss you!
P.S. Did anything avalanche on you as you opened the truck?
