Moving across the country can be hard
In January 2003 Megan and I moved from Boise Idaho to Chicago Illinois in a 24 foot U-haul.
Our fist day we go snowed in at the mountain-pass going into Salt Lake, and we had to stay the night in Burley, Idaho after only traveling a few hours.
In that hotel I realized that I had my mother-in-law's keys. We had to mail them to her the next day.
We fought icy patches, blowing snow, and light snow flurries all the way across country. All our: shampoo, olive oil, and bath-tub-bubble-bath froze across the plains, as we experienced negative 20 and 30 degree weather.
Finley (our dog) seemed depressed on the trip (even thought he got more space than Megan or I), and slept all most the whole way there. Each morning we would have to break the ice out of his doggy bowl.
We arrived in Chicago on their coldest day in 4 years. There was a 100 yard walkway between our apartment, up the stairs, and to the U-Haul.
It wasn't fun, but we were alive, and finally together again.
