Well, here I am in the deep south...I'm staying with my cousin and her family for a couple of days before heading up to CIU to move in on Thursday. Yesterday was a very, very long day of driving. I think I was on the road for about 12 hours, but that includes a stop at a rest area for about 45 minutes to take a break and hear a friendly voice on the phone...and I was tempted just to stay there! I was about 20 minutes from Chatanooga and right in the foothills of the Appalachains...sitting in front of a huge lake with the foothills in the background..it was gorgeous!! Anyhow, tomorrow I'm headed up to CIU to visit a friend and then back here to go back up on Thursday to finally move in. Ok, just thought I'd let you all know I've made it this far.
