November 2008
We decide to make the move from Boise, Idaho to West Jefferson, North Carolina. It has been discussed and thought about for some time, and now is right time. I am changing careers and plan on doing photography full time, something I have done and loved for many years.

The trip is 2700 miles in a Penske 16 ft. truck with a car in tow. My wife is driving our pickup. The U.S. is a big country and we run into some winter snow near Chicago as we were trying to stop and see Karen's sister in Pittsburg. We don't have much time for sightseeing since we are on a tight schedule.

We arrive after a 5 day trip and then wait for a couple of days while our household furnishing arrive. Then, the joy of unpacking starts.....so much fun.
