This is just outside our little apartment complex. They used to live 2 doors down from me, and now they are about a 3 hour flight ::chuckles:: what a trip....literally! So, then they left...we watched as they drove away down 16th Ave. in Nashville. As they drove, Mom poured a pitcher of water down the road after them. It is an old Persian tradition for moms to do to their children who are moving away. Mom left to go to work (though in tears...) and Dad climbed into his truck to leave and realized that he'd left his wallet in the moving truck! OH NO!! He calls Jenna....she doesn't pickup....I call Jenna...no answer! I call Pouria...again, no answer!! AH!!! what are we going to do!?!? So I call Jenna once more, as Dad is frantically looking, even in the bed of his truck, to find his wallet. So I finally get in contact with Jenna, "I think Dad may have left his wallet in the truck...maybe on the dashboard?" "AND here it is!" she replies and I hear her reaching forward for it. Fortunately they were able to stop just off of Trinity Lane and dad and I raced over there to retrieve his wallet so that they could be on their merry way. We arrive at the gas station that they are waiting at and Pouria hops out of the truck and says, 'ok, so I know we said come and see us soon, but we thought you guys would wait until we at least unpacked!'. He's such a 'ham' at times ::winks:: So we give them the BIG SEND-OFF again. It is a Maurice family tradition to give everyone THE BIG SEND-OFF.
They spent the night in Kansas somewhere (I forgot the place) and arrived in Boulder the next day!
And had a neighbor there to welcome them...
It is a little squirrel just outside their back porch! Do you see his adorable little arm lazily hanging out of the nest? Jenna said that while they were unpacking, the little squirrel went and got a new little tree branch and brought it into his little house...so he was "moving in" just like them ::smiles:: it sounded so cute! And now they are unpacked...
Pouria's JEEP is in the right-hand corner. I am assuming that they will go and get Jenna's car today from it's spot, and they will unpack boxes. This will be their home for the next 3 years at least. I am so excited for them and I cannot WAIT to go visit them!! I can assure you, it will be epic!(is this the part where I get all old-school dorky and pipe up the old song..."AND WE'LL BE FRIENDS FOREVER!! JESUS AND YOU AND ME!! HE TIES OUR HEARTS TOGETHER, AND FRIENDS - WE'LL - ALWAYS - BEEEEEEE!!!!!" Thankfully this time I do not have Jeffy Hutchins trying to kiss me every other word...::chuckles::
A TOAST TO JENNA AND POURIA!! May your semester go smoothly and may Jenna be protected as she travels!! PEACE BE DA JOURNEY!
