Oh Blogger, how I've missed you.
Well boys and girls I made it Georgia...with only a few mishaps along the way. I began journey from Texas to Georgia bright and early Monday morning. Well, actually is was pretty cloudy and grey out so I guess it wasn't so bright...but whatever it was early. I made it to somewhere in Louisiana before I had any incidents. I was driving along and heard a weird sound, like metal being run over. Hmm, I thought I had run over something, or something fell off of my beloved car. I was correct in both cases. My front license plate leaped off my front bumper and commited suicide...it was sad. So then I had a dilemma, do I go back or do I just say screw it and keep driving? I opted to go back for it. Probably not the safest thing I've ever done, but I didn't want to get a ticket for not having the damn thing. In TX it's a law that you have to have a front plate, I know in LA you aren't required to have one....but I wasn't sure about MS, AL, or GA and I didn't want to risk it.
All went well for a few hundred more miles...well except extreme boredom had kicked in somewhere around the Mississippi state line. It was at this point that I called practically everyone I know. I interrupted people while they were in classes or at work. You're welcome.
Right around the Alabama/Georgia border my ass just fell off of my body. I didn't go back for it. I'm going to miss it. Also I was beginning to worry that my knees would no longer function properly once I finally got out of the car. I'm falling apart.
I damn near had a panic attack in Atlanta. Seriously, you people drive like maniacs. BUT I didn't get lost in Atlanta, which shocks me. I swear every single time I've been to that city I have gotten lost somehow. So at this point I'm only about an hour from my new home. WooHoo!
FINALLY after what seemed like an eternity of driving I see the exit to Jefferson. I think I shed a tear or two of joy. I took the exit and then followed the directions that the navigation system lady gave me. As it turns out she's a big fat liar and she sent me the wrong way. I somehow ended up on a dirt road...I called my brother for directions...he didn't know where I was. His solution? For me to just sit there and he would drive around until he found me....it didn't take him long, I was two streets down from his subdivision. Really Bradley?!? You don't know the names of these streets?
When I get into the house my sister in law shoved a beer in my hand and told me it was time to party. Outstanding. Georgia is my new favorite place.

thanks tammie :) i tried to call you at some point during my journey...i'm going to guess it was somewhere around MS or AL, because by that point i was bored out of my freakin' mind.
and yes, oregon is going to be a crazy ass drive. i feel for you on that one. and what do you mean it's illegal to drink and drive?!? ;)
