Bill State Journal of Crap

Our time line for the month of July

We will leave our house in St. Louis Park on July 31.  The moving truck will be picked up on July 30, so we will have two days to pack it.  Early in the morning on August 1st, Bill and I will leave for Bowling Green, OH.  We will arrive almost 12 hours after we left.  August 2nd, Bill’s 28th Birthday, will be spent unpacking the truck and returning it to Uhaul.  The rest of the week will require us to unpack the life we will start in Ohio.  I will start the GradStep (My training program) on August 17th.
