A late night update

Everything is packed up. Well for the most part. We still need to pack into suitcases the stuff we'll actually be using for the next few weeks. Unfortunately we've run out of space in the truck but we haven't loaded our bikes yet. Just another mess we need to clean up.

Today was my last day at work. I was hard to leave everyone. I really liked it there. I'm definitely going to miss a lot of people, more than I thought I would. Hopefully I'll see some of them again...sometime. One person even made me brownies. The hardest part was packing up my desk. It made me sad. But I know that to get what I want I'm going to have to make some changes. Mostly geographical. Somehow I don't think I'll ever be able to get my ranch in IL. It seems impractical.

Tomorrow we clean. Then Saturday we leave. I can't say I'm looking forward to it. If I were I wouldn't be up this late typing.

Someone burnt pizza and set off the fire alarm while we were loading the truck tonight. Which meant we had to stop what we were doing for a half hour for the fire department to get here and tell us it was okay to go back in. It was surprising. These apartments are the easiest I've lived in. No crime. This is the first time in a year the fire department had to come out. The cops come by twice a day just to check on things. But I haven't heard of any break-ins or anything. Its a really nice place to live. A bit out of the way. But for the management to be so easy to work with, and for the lack of crime it was well worth it. If you're looking for an apartment in Mundelein, Il go with Heritage Green. It's well worth it.

Okay, sleep time now. I'll try to update frequently on our trip and packing and unpacking and everything else. And post pictures. Lots of pictures. So bear with me as we go along.
