Back in the South Again

So, Joey Strawn is officially a graduate of Boston University, with a Masters in Public Relations. Finally it was time to pack up and go back to land of sweet tea and manners.

On December 23rd, we packed up what was left of our overpriced apartment, loaded it into the UHaul, and headed out of Boston. Living in Boston was no picnic, walking everywhere, no personal space, no elevators, everything closes at 6:00, and for the first time in my life I shoveled snow. Anyway we got into the truck and attempted to drive out of the city. One problem, navigation systems don't know which roads are cars only, this is very very frustrating and if you have ever been to Boston, you know that driving those streets in a UHaul truck is stressful enough without a small navigation system leading you into 10 dead ends before you finally find one road that will lead you out of the city. Note: Jersey SUCKS, just believe us.
Well, 36 hours later and after stopping in Nashville to drop off everything in the back we headed on to Memphis. We made it to Joey's parents on Christmas Eve and this is where we are currently, staying with Joey's parents. Our apartment in Nashville opens on the 12th and we are just so excited we could just burst. We have moved from place to place our entire relationship and each place has been very small, no breathing room. This apartment in Nashville will be our first real home.
