Day One – We left Clearwater (after hitting a bagel store) and my GPS told us to go up 19 instead of taking interstates to Birmingham, Alabama. It was a generally interesting trip but it took about two hours extra…:( We got to my friend Jud’s house about 7:30. He is a maniac who had no problem with having me, Daddy, Wally, puppy, puppy and kitty stay overnight, his wife is a saint! We had real home cooking BBQ and settled in with their youngest daughter (such a good kid), two cats and three dogs – everyone behaved themselves VERY well!!!

Jud and Me

Jud is one of my absolute favorite people on earth – he was the CEO at Digital Chainsaw. He is GREAT at providing grown up advice to start-ups and helps them get on track business-wise. We talked about how to best position his business (disguised marketing talk…:) I will be setting him up with an online presence soon!

Day Two - We left Birmingham and headed to Tulsa, Oklahoma. We went via Memphis and had more BBQ at a hole in the wall that the locals go to…then onto Graceland! We only had a couple of minutes and did not want to do the whole tour so we did a driveby! Elvis’ house lacks a little something at 35 MPH…:)

Graceland

We stayed at a La Quinta that took doggies. Sammy (the puppy) was NOT a good girl. She barked A LOT in the hallway at 9:30pm and had 3 doors opening to see what all the rukus was! The next morning we were darting out the door, hoping to avoid seeing anyone else – we got almost all the way out the door before seeing two other doggies. My puppies wrapped their leases around my legs, pulled me over and chased after the invaders. Needless to say Sammy was on puppy downers for the rest of the trip!!!

Day Three – Kansas. I slept through the only good parts – the wind turbines and snow covered hills. Other than that it was fields, fields and more fields! We got to my new home at about 7…whew. Everyone was SO happy to get out of the car..:)

Further Colorado updates coming soon!!!!

John has a great job and they have made it possible for us to move without having to sell our beagle (a bonus to Sidney, I am sure!). I will keep you informed of our progress, but for now here are the players:

Me (Tara) – Owner of Marketing Artfully – a marketing consultation company. Thanks to reading The 4 Hour Work Week a number of years ago, I am place-less and will be able to conduct my business easily from Colorado via phone, email and Skype. 

Johnny – My husband and main breadwinner of Chez Jacobsen. He is a fabulous photographer and you can look forward to seeing many great pictures of our new Colorado neighborhoods!  He will be posting here and on his “real” blog G33kart.com.

Linda – My Mother In Law, also a fabulous photographer and my shopping buddy. She will be doing the heavy lifting when it comes to having to eat out and find great little shops and stores!

Sidney and Sammy – Beagle and sprinkler spaniel – these two are our “babies”. They will be traveling with Mom and I out to Colorado. Both are a little concerned about the packing going on BUT are excited about all of our practice trips in the car!

Kitty (Pepper) – Our beautiful cat. She is SO not on board with the move. She doesn’t like change and especially hates when she gets left alone. She bites so we try and keep her happy…:)

Muffy and Maple – Mom’s “girls” – they are two of the cutest little Cairn Terriers you ever did see. They will be a part of the 3 day overland trip that we take to get the doggies out to Colorado.
