May 3rd in Michigan

33deg and snowing in Michigan, 83deg and mostly cloudy in Hawaii.

Just a check in...
The bed: We are not shipping it. It cost more to ship it than to buy another one... but I am feeling quite bad about it all. I do not want my bed, from my wedding, my gift, to be a universal bed in someone else's house 4000 miles away. This was our second biggest wedding gift and it shouldn't be on the floor, or spread out among someone's attic/a different mattress/garage/guest room. You get what I mean... But whatever, this is the same as with the car... Not up to me. It will save us money, but it's just disturbing me and I don't think I'll ever get over it.

The car: HA! Oh my goodness. Magic Carpet Auto Transport is who we are going through. We were supposed to have the car shipped Monday-Thursday range of this past week. Not happening. We moved out of our apartment building, so can no longer ship it out of that parking lot, and the company is just not working out. We are going to be leaving on Wednesday of this coming week and they don't even have a driver for us. I know we live far away but gosh! We paid these people immediately almost 2 grand, before they had a driver. We have Crystal as our worker, and yet every time we call to find something out she isn't there, on the phone, or just stepped out. Her desk must be filled with postits because everyone else we talk to says that they'll leave a message for her. They have had a month to find a driver... And when we leave, we cannot be here to send it off, sign any papers.. And I refuse to have to leave it 20miles away from where it would have been picked up from originally, and have to pay more for them to go there.... I hope you know what I mean.

The tickets: Over and done with... Well so far, I guess it wont be done with until we leave on the plane.

The shipments: USPS is gonna hate us! Oy, so far... we have probably mailed at least 25 boxes... AT LEAST, and have spent perhaps $700... I guessed it would cost $250... NOT! If only everything was media mail!

4days! I will upload a picture of our snowstorm in May... I swear this was overnight, a few days ago it was warm. Today it is the beginning of winter again!
