Moving! Again!

I'll start by giving you a little background on this -
Each year for the last few years Nick has been invited to Tinton Falls, NJ to a small bio-medical company to teach their employees how to read and interpret EKG's. They recently approached him about a full time position out of their New Jersey office and..... well, to make a long story short. We're moving. From Idaho to New Jersey. Yikes! From the job offer to the time that we are leaving Boise is less than a month. Packers are coming on Thursday, they will load the truck on Friday (including one of our cars), and we will be beginning our 2700 mile journey in a Ford Explorer with Andrew (18 months), Lauren (4 months), & Rosie the cat. My mom will be making this journey with us (driving behind us in her car) and has offered to assist with childcare in exchange for living quarters in our home. We are looking for homes with separate living quarters or finished basements and surprisingly there seem to be quite a few. We have been in contact with several real estate professionals and they have been sending us listing after listing. I just refuse to move in to a house that I've never seen and thus we will be staying in a hotel after arriving while we look at these homes in person. The next few days will be a blur as we have been insanely busy trying to ready ourselves and our things for our huge move but as soon as the truck has all of our stuff and we're all in the car I think the drive may be kind of fun. At least maybe the first day will be fun. By the time we get to day 5 of driving 500 miles I'm sure I'll wonder what I ever expected to be fun. I plan on updating during the long drive but I'm not sure about phone reception so check back. No updates = no phone reception.
