Well everyone, I actually made it to WA! What an exciting journey! The 36+ hour drive to get here was well worth the struggle and preparation I put into the move. Having the opportunity to travel across the country in a Penske truck, was an experience I will never forget. Going through the mountains in a loaded truck while pulling a car was at times absolutely frightening. Especially when my crazy brother got behind the wheel... Although, making the trip with just my brother and my sugar gliders offered the perfect opportunity for some much needed brotherly bonding. Along the way, I shot video of the trip (as opposed to blogging), which allowed me to document my adventure in great detail. Shortly after arriving in WA, I created a film and trip-summary (Trailer) of the journey. The fifty-three second video embedded in this blog is the "trailer" of the video I shot along the way. It touches on some of the highlights of the trip, which include ping-pong, visiting my mom, almost running out of gas in the middle of the mountains with no cell phone signal, and terrain changes. Enjoy! :)

It's now been 42 days since I arrived in WA, although with all the activities going on it feels like a lot longer (in a good way)! It's truly hard to believe I have been away from my birth-home for over a month now. It's actually kind of sad. Not because I am starting to get home sick, but because I'm not. I don't miss Michigan at all. Sure, I miss my friends, my family, and my co-workers but that's it. I was bored in MI. Now that I am in a economically booming city, surrounded by amazing hiking trails, beautiful scenery, and tons of adventure, how could I possibly be bored?!? There are so many new places to explore and things to see here! I am located in Sammamish, which set's high in the mountains overlooking the Seattle city skyline. I am approximately 20 minutes from Seattle and 15 minutes from Bellevue. The city life here is amazing, always offering a place of action and interesting people. Luckily though, I live in a suburban area outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. To top it off, this area knows how to do coffee. Big time. I even have my own personalized Starbucks drink card and personal barista! ;) With so manny new things going on, I have practically neglected or forgot about things like Facebook, and my Blog. I will try and update more often now, as although things have yet to settle down, I am slowly getting used to this new way of life. I absolutely love it.
