The journey out here went swimmingly. We experienced zero weather or traffic "hiccups"along the way. We stayed in several "interesting" hotel rooms and ate a surprising amount of food from The Olive Garden (haha no wonder I gained 7 pounds!). We officially moved into our little home last Wednesday and have spent the past 5 days unpacking as much as we can in between JDawg's naps (little missy only snoozes during the day if she's being held; which I don't mind doing). Looking around the house I'm actually surprised at how much we've accomplished. The entire upstairs area is almost completely settled. The only room that's a complete disaster is the second bedroom (aka the "catch all" room). Oh, and the garage too. That's has become the place where empty boxes go to die.
We've explored a good deal of the Madison area in the short time we've been here. Of course we've visited all the local groceries stores and have thoroughly assessed their prices and products. I can say with much confidence that Trader Joe's is our new grocery store of choice. Followed closely by Whole Foods. Hooray food!!
I can't wait until Spring so Josie and I can go exploring around our neighborhood! I've got my eye on a pretty sweet jogging stroller from REI.
We've also decided to hold off on getting another vehicle right away. We're going to try our best to be a one car family for as long as we can. Once the ice melts, Tim is going to start biking to work (Madison is a HUGE biking city. Bike lanes here are the size of normal car lanes! Crazy, right?!). That way I'll have the car most days so JBird and I can hit up the town like the wild women that we are.
Did I mention there's a Super Target like 2 miles from our house? Be jealous.
