The Petree Moving Excursion Recap

So, I basically texted my way across the states via Twitter and Facebook. I've copied and pasted it below for your enjoyment although you'll have to start reading at the bottom and work your way up in order for it to make sense.

Also, posting this in no way means I need for you to tell me that it's dangerous to text and drive. I know. But I'm committed to being connected. Some might even call it an addiction. In any case, no shame in my game....

Ladies & Gentleman, we are in Chattanooga!! I'd like to thank Sprint, Twitter, Facebook, your prayers, texts, and encouragement for making this trip possible! about 23 hours ago from txt

Twenty-five miles left. I am so excited I have butterflies in my stomach! about 24 hours ago from txt

I forgot about steep TN mountains. And driving down them at night and driving in fog? NOT FUN. about 24 hours ago from txt

The whole trip, 1/2 of the backseat has been empty for Knox to stretch out. Only now, with 80 miles left, does he finally climb back there. 4:12 PM yesterday from txt

Ah, Nashville. Don't worry, I'll be back to get reacquainted with you soon. 3:06 PM yesterday from txt

Is it so white-trash that I have made this whole trip in my *very* Ugg-like slippers? In any case, it has made me now want a real pair. 12:44 PM yesterday from txt

If I weren't so ready to get to Chatt I would totally make Jason take me to Graceland. 11:27 AM yesterday from txt

WE'RE IN TENNESSEE! 11:18 AM yesterday from txt

Singing showtunes to Knox. He is unimpressed. I'm blaming it on the tranquilizer 9:53 AM yesterday from txt

Good morning y'all! We're back on the road and Chattanooga bound. Only gave Knox 1/2 a tranq so he's chill. Shower and makeup has done wonders for me. ... 8:53 AM yesterday from txt

We've traveled 511 miles and I still have a quarter of a tank left. I love my Honda Accord. 6:01 PM Nov 12th from txt

The full moon is a steady and reassuring companion on this highway... 5:13 PM Nov 12th from txt

Passing by the birthplace of Bill Clinton. Hmmmmm...should we stop? Nah. 4:46 PM Nov 12th from txt

Well, Texas, thanks for your hospitality. You'll always have a place in my heart... Hello, Arkansas! Thanks for putting us up for the night. 4:21 PM Nov 12th from txt

Trees. That are tall. And have leaves of changing colors. I had forgotten they even existed. 3:30 PM Nov 12th from txt

But the hubs is a total stud for driving it AND towing his car behind it. Any ideas for his trucker handle? 2:58 PM Nov 12th from txt

Driving across multiple states takes considerably longer when you're following a 24 ft truck that holds all our worldly goods. 2:54 PM Nov 12th from txt

Going through the Big D and I *do* mean Dallas. 12:47 PM Nov 12th from txt

We've stopped for lunch. Knox is weaving as he walks. More unsteady than a trashed freshman at Frat Court. 12:07 PM Nov 12th from txt

Finally on the road. No shower. No makeup. Dog properly drugged. We're on our way! 9:51 AM Nov 12th from txt

Although, to clarify, they look kind of like Uggs. So maybe I can pull it off. 6:20 AM Nov 12th from txt

Totally at Starbucks in my slippers. It's just that kind of morning, y'all. 6:19 AM Nov 12th from txt

Please pray for us today. Jason and I are tired and stressed and literally have many miles before we sleep tonight. 5:59 AM Nov 12th from txt

Oh my lord, it is way too early. Must have caffeine. Starbucks, be prepared. 5:54 AM Nov 12th from txt
