After 12 years in DC, I found love and my life partner, who has recently been relocated to Arizona for work. I am about to embark on a fresh start in Scottsdale where there is a huge focus on being healthy and fit. So this seems like the perfect opportunity to lose the 15 pounds that a desk job and the enjoyment of the culinary opportunities in DC have left me with.

40 days and counting...
In 40 days, my sister and I begin our road trip from DC to AZ for my move. She kindly offered to accompany me on the drive out west and will fly back to DC. Hopefully we will still be on speaking terms when we make it to AZ. She really dislikes my driving, so our odds are 50/50.
We will hit Nashville, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque and finally Scottsdale. It will take us 4 days and we will cover 2285 miles together. We tried living together 4 years ago and that was a huge fail, so hopefully this trip doesn't end in a similar disaster of not speaking to each other for a week afterwords.
I am going to blog to stay connected to my friends since in AZ, I only have one friend other than JD (well two if kids count: love you Danielle and Ty).
I mentioned to my friends Jacobs and Melissa that I was planning on blogging and they asked if I am going to be as funny online as I am in person. I think being funny in print is much more challenging than in person but I am going to give it my best shot. I think it is my delivery and charisma that makes me funny so I am going to have to find a way to translate that into my posts. Please bear with me...
JD has been living and working in AZ since February and really loves it. I am excited (and nervous) about my big move. I have given notice at my job and pushed myself outside my comfort zone by moving without a new job lined up. I might have lost my mind.
Here. We. Go.

I put your odds of being on speaking terms after the trip to 1 in 5.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best in your move out to AZ Arianna! It has been ages since I have seen my "hometown" crew hanging out in Arlington. I am looking forward to a grand send off so be sure to keep me in the loop. I will take pics :)
