I'm a proclaimer!

I'm not normally a man for New Years resolutions but I decided to make one this year, though I don't really consider it a resolution, I consider it a challenge! My resolution challenge is to tread 1000 miles on the mill. While I'm doing it I just may be singing along with the Proclaimers :

Hit it!

I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door (which just might be the case after walking 1000 miles)

So, I just need to walk:
0.114155 miles per hour ... or ...
2.739726 miles per day ... or ...
19.23077 miles per week ... or ...
83.33333 miles per month ... or ...

Bring it on!

We Made It

Well, it's been a very long weekend, but we finally made it. We packed up the truck Friday afternoon/evening with the help of a few good friends of ours (Chris, Andy, Sara, Brian, Tim). Thanks guys, we couldn't have done it without you (even with you it took 10 hours start to finish). Saturday we got a much later start then we had planned, about 11am, but we managed to make the normally 6 hour drive in only 6 1/2 hours, which was pretty impressive when Tom was driving a 26' U-Haul with me trailing behind him. We managed to get half the truck unpacked Saturday, again with the help of a very good friend of ours, Coooach Callahan. And we finished emptying the truck on Sunday. So, now all we have to do is unpack 100+ boxes.

We don't have internet at home quite yet, so we'll be slow to respond to emails/comments for a while.
