Clio and I made it to San Jose yesterday afternoon. We are staying in a furnished short term lease apartment while we figure out where we will want to live in the long run. The location is excellent. After living in the suburbs for the last 10 years, it kind of odd that within two blocks of our place there is a big library, a grocery store, movies, and many restaurants and shops.
Our trip out west is got a slow start due to the crazy snowstorm that hit the mid-east, but as of Sunday night we managed to make it to Lincoln, Nebraska. Hopefully we will reach San Jose on Wednesday.
Moving container being delivered
Lots of things are coming together in the final countdown before the move to San Jose.
Last week I had three nice send off dinners from various groups of people and met with Realtors. On Sunday, a bunch of Clio’s friends came over and as the night was winding down, we gave away the vast majority of our furniture. It was a great feeling knowing that our furniture would be helpful to other people as well as the fact that we now didn’t need to deal with the expense of moving it across the country.
Today the moving containers we will be packing our remaining possessions into arrived. The containers were on a flat-bed truck and the driver used a really neat looking 3-wheeled forklift to carry the containers about 100 yards from the truck to our driveway.
Walking around our now mostly empty house has brought home the reality of the move. I’m really going to miss hanging out with the friends I made in central PA, but I am also anxious to see what the next chapter of my life brings.
