Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.......

There hasn't been a time in my life when I couldn't find a Frost that was perfect for the occasion.  It is strange to think how one person has provided so much comfort to millions of people just by writing down their thoughts. To get through these hard but exciting times I have also turned to my favorite play list for comfort (which mostly includes the lyrical genius of James Morrison and Micheal Buble).  

I officially started my journey north today. The past two days have been full of tears and goodbyes. As some of you know, I have always made a point of saying "goodnight...but not goodbye," but I have caught myself using the valediction freely over the past week.  As usual, the phrase "what if.." is consistently running through my head. Which in turn leads me to use goodbye, in pain, just in case.

Mom and Dad helped pack up Libby this afternoon and we pulled out of the driveway at 4:30. I have the most wonderful family and friends which makes it particularly difficult to say goodbye. All of my mom's brothers and sisters met me for brunch this morning. Unfortunately my sister couldn't make it, but made an extra effort to come by my parents house before we left which I greatly appreciated. (Love ya Min!) 

Libby was so full we barely had room to sit in her (see pics). Fortunately, I don't remember much of this first half of the trip due to the intake of soporific motions sickness medication that I had to ingest in order to keep all of my food in my body. I wrapped up in my comforter, folded my long legs into the backseat and settled in for the journey.     

      

     

I stayed awake long enough to see the Tennessee state line. Mom and Dad woke me up to eat supper when we arrived in Knoxville. After we crossed the Kentucky state line we decided to try to get to Lexington before we stopped. What we did not anticipate was the astounding amount of rain and dense fog.  We fell about 80 miles short of our goal and ended up stopping in Corbin, KY for the night.   

    

I wanted to give everyone an update before bed. We will continue the journey tomorrow, hopefully after a hot breakfast and some Starbucks hot chocolate. I will post pics of my new home soon. In the mean time, everyone say a prayer for the Yanks! (heehee)
