Homeless in Dallas

We arrived to Dallas late last night after an uneventful (that's the way we like 'em) drive. I can say that I am beginning to lose my voice from an all out jam session in my car last night and talking for hours to different people. It definitely made the drive through no-man's-land a lot more enjoyable. After our horrendous drive to Georgia last year, I was very nervous for another cross country drive. The weather channel definitely didn't soothe my nerves because Dallas has been all over the news for tornadoes and other craziness. Needless to say, we packed up anyways and headed out. We left at about 7 pm (what kind of crazy people start a 20 hour drive at night, right?) and drove about 6 hours to the middle of nowhere to stay in a "podunk" little town. We woke up at about 8am the next day to shove off by 9 and drove the rest of the way until about 11:30 pm (12:30 local time because of the time change). Overall, we drove through about everything, a little bit of rain, hail, snow, and a lotta bit of wind. Nothing we couldn't handle!
Anyways, we arrived in Dallas late last night to our extended stay hotel. This is because the company still has not found us apartments to stay in! I was a little bugged about the whole situation but knew there was nothing I could do to hurry the process up. The extended-stays are actually very nice suites. The only downfall is that we had to unload both of our cars because we didn't want to get anything stolen. In a week or so we'll have to load everything back up and re-unload everything into our actual apartments. Luckily our suite it on the first floor right next to one of the exits and right by the pet area for Rush! Definitely the best-case for this specific scenario! Other than the fact that we have to pack, unpack, repack, and unpack again, there is nothing to complain about! These suites have kitchenettes, a nice little gym, a big pool, courtyards, internet, housekeeping, etc.

So this will be our home for the next little bit! I'll update you with our actual apartments!
