Since we are getting ready to hit I-20 for the first of several times on our journey to Dallas, we thought this would be the right time to start our blog. We have rented a U-Haul trailer to pull behind my (Alisha's) Dad's Tahoe on Thursday. Now, I have noticed on more than one occasion that U-Haul likes to use the slogan "Adventures in Moving" and I find that a little unsettling. Here are the definitiones of adventure:
ad·ven·ture ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-vnchr)n.
An undertaking or enterprise of a hazardous nature.
An undertaking of a questionable nature, especially one involving intervention in another state's affairs.
An unusual or exciting experience: an adventure in dining.
Participation in hazardous or exciting experiences: the love of adventure.
A financial speculation or business venture.
"Adventure" does not sound as appealing as "easy moving" or "the joy in moving." "Adventure," I'm afraid, could easily be paraphrased "Mishaps in Moving" or "DidyoueverexpectTHATtogowrong? Moving." In fact, I am pretty sure that I do not want any of the above definitions involved in my moving experience. Maybe we should have rented a Penske truck instead...

LOVE IT!! Can't wait to chuckle deep and often. Alisha, just make sure you obtain gainful employment that will allow you to blog like a madwoman. It would make me sad that such wit would no longer be within my range of possible experience.
I am so excited that we can be blog friends now!!!!!! Please don't expect my comments to be as witty as yours but I am looking forward to reading updates on y'all after you leave:( I can't wait to see you on Sunday after your first adventure.
