My last weekend in AZ

Next week I'm moving from Chandler, Arizona to Little Rock, Arkansas. I love it in AZ and I really don't want to leave but my wife got a great job opportunity there so we can't pass it up. One of my former co-workers suggested that I start a blog so my friends in Arizona can keep up with me and stay in touch--thanks for the idea, Stephannie! So here it is.

My Dad drove out to help me with the move since I'm still recovering from knee surgery and I can't move around much yet. He drives a Ford Expedition and today was the first day that I sat in the back seat to see how comfortable the upcoming 1,500 mile trip will be...and it wasn't bad. Beth has a Ford Explorer which is pretty roomy but Dad's car, affectionately named Gus, has about eight extra inches of room, and in this case it's a huge difference.

The packers arrive on Monday to pack up everything we own, so that will be interesting. They have said that they pack absolutely everything so we really haven't packed anything at all...not that I could if I wanted to. Which I don't. =) But it will be interesting to see how this whole process goes, considering that all I can do is sit around, watch, and point at stuff.

I'm getting really bored with sitting around doing nothing. I've read probably half a dozen books over the last month and today I watched four, yes, four baseball games on TV. Now, I'm as lazy as anyone and I don't normally mind sitting around doing nothing but this is definitely pushing it. I'm actually looking forward to getting on the road. Although I'm not really sure why.
