After a lot of drama with my husband’s green card status, his employer helped him find what we hope is a solution. (We’ll know for sure if the strategy worked next week.) So, the move did go as planned.
The movers showed up bright and early at 7:30 a.m. this morning and were out of the house by 10:30 a.m.
We spent a few more hours cleaning up the apartment, returning our cable equipment and doing other last minute errands before we hit the road. We only drove about 2 hours from home, but we’re on our way.
Tomorrow, we’re planning to stop by the St. Louis arch (Bookworm is obsessed with the arch), and then hopefully make it to Oklahoma.

Glad to hear things are moving along for you!
Wave as you go through Columbia, mo. I work at he intersection of 70/63. If the kids need a break there is a nice park at 70 /Stadium Blvd. make a right and another right onto the outer road. Not a lot of “facilities” past Columbia for a while.
