Earthquake Really???
So Day 2 of being here, there is an earthquake? Are you kidding me? So yes everyone is blaming the cali girl for bringing it! Heck if they want to think I have that much power... then I am going to go with it!
We are all ok!

Moving East
After we have done the long distance from coast to coast for over a year, we have decided to move in together and Nicole is moving east! Nicole packed all of her stuff (well not all, some is left in Cali, thanks to Kerry, Sarica and Sharon!) and put it all in a trailer. Michael attached a trailer hitch to the volvo (aka Beau) and off we were, after many goodbyes. It was difficult and sad to say goodbye to everyone, as my friends are my family and this is the longest Nicole has stayed in one place! However with video chat and technology it is much easier to keep in each others lives!!!
Our first stop was in Palm Springs to visit Nicole's parents. Then we left in the morning (after Michael misplacing the car key in his tennis shoe) and drove and drove to Van Horn, Texas. Along the way we hit some dust storms, rain showers and a Monsoon or two... really??? We made it to our hotel room in the Days Inn. We showered and crashed!
Day 2 was a little smoother, a little flatter, no storms and ALLLL TEXAS! Seriously who knew Texas was sooo big... everything in Texas was big, big hair, big trucks and big hearts! We made it to Little Rock, Arkansas for our stop, however we did visit a McDonalds that had a cowboy hat on the golden arches!!! We made it to the Travelodge, showered and crashed!
Day 3... FINALLY out of Texas!!! We woke up and on the road again, acorss Tenessee... which is gorgeous and green. We hit mostly rolling hills and a few BIG mountains, that we could only go 35 miles per hour up the hill! Go on by us Trucks!!! We hit Virginia and were on the home stretch. Michael wanted to drive us into Salem, so he took over when we hit Virginia!!
Though we did not stop for very long in places, we saw some pretty sites! Now that we know we are not going to kill each other on a road trip that long, we can do it again, though we will stop and visit sites!!
Our (nicole's new home) is Salem Virginia. It is pretty here and everyone is super nice here! People say hello and smile at you!
Thank you to everyone for your support and love!!

Our Story
Michael and Nicole met online back in December of 2009 through the help of Facebook and Melissa and Jeremy Miller. Nicole wrote Michael an email commenting on his music that Melissa was playing one time. From Decemeber 2009 until July 2010, their relationship was purely on line and friends.
Nicole thought "he is from Virginia" while Michael thought "she is a city girl from Cali" and both of them wrote it off as just friends. However they often found themselves checking online to see if the other one was on to talk to! They flirted and had fun, still thought nothing of it!
July 4, 2010 Nicole, Kerry, Aidan, Janna and Scott headed east to Arizona (yes gawd awful hot) to hang out with Melissa and Jeremy. Somehow Michael was convinced to come out to Arizona as well.
