Times, they are a changin'...

Bob Dylan said it right. Times are changin'. Changin' lots of things.

And currently, in the Suhr household, Times are changing the following things:
1. The marital status change of '08 caused the following changes to occur (refer to #2 and #3)
2. The title of this blog as well as the blog address
3. The authors. Garrett has been invited! Can't wait to read some blogs from the man, eh?

SummerTIME is changing our residence for about two months. No longer will we reside in Stewart Hall, no siree. We are moving our residence to, what some might call, a mobile home. It is quite mobile. We'll see how the home part works out. Our residence for June and July will be our "new-to-us" Isuzu Rodeo. A 1998 beauty with a mere 65,000 miles, this firecracker (who is yet to be named) is going to be driving us around the country. Literally. We are CIRCLING the United States of America.


Unfortunately, Sheep (Jeep) will have to stay behind and soak up the California sun while we are gone. And she doesn't know this yet, but we are also planning on selling her, though we will miss her TREMENDOUSLY. She's quite the perfect little vehicle for California Residents.

Anyways, the trek is going to look something like this:
The trip begins on May 31st as we head North to Brad and Sharon's in Calistoga. We'll enjoy their company for a day or two and then continue on from there to Oregon along the coast and tent ourselves down at Columbia River Gorge, head to Olympic National Park in Washington, as well as Seattle (still need to call Lisa...check), and the Cascades. From there we'll head to some family property in Idaho, and on to friends in Bozeman, Montana. This will take up our first two weeks. From there we'll head to Wisconsin, spend some time at camp, then to Hopey and Tyler's wedding on the 20th in Janesville! (Congrats!)(Congrats to Jessie and Paul as well, who are getting married on the SAME DAY!) Following the grandios celebration we will make our way to Virginia via Chicago, possibly Mishawaka (Lunch, Kim?) , and roads through Ohio, West Virginia, and finally Home Sweet Home! We'll spend one week in Harrisonburg with my family(We want to do a sleepover, Sarah and Stuart...and Stephen!), hit up my first high school reunion on the 27th (Yay, BRCS Friends!), and drive to Roanoke that night to head off to our first beach week with the Suhrs. We'll leave the 28th of June and be on the Outer Banks for a week, wrapping up the food, fun, and BEACH on the 4th of July. The next week we'll spend in Roanoke hanging out with the Suhrs, checkin' out Jason and Rachel's new house, and playing with the kiddos. Then we'll meet up with my parents and drive to Gulf Shores, Alabama for our SECOND beach week with the extended Harrison family. Yeehaw! Grandma's cookin', more sand, and aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, as well as the Friedrich's are gonna make for one crazy week. After this week ends (July 18th) it'll be time to pack up and head back home. We'll take the southern route, meaning I finally get to see Texas! Don't worry, I'm bringin' my boots.

The big question of the summer is, will Bella be joining us on our way back?
Only time will tell. (Meaning, I'm still trying to make that decision) :)

At any rate, we are PUMPED. We'll try and keep this updated. We may be having too much fun!

Here's to summertime, and jobs that give you summer's off! Hip-Hip-Hooray!
