Katy and Erik are officially New Yorkers. So what's it to ya?
The past three weeks have been an adventure. We moved out of our house in Keller, Texas on March 13th. Since then, we have slept in eight different beds, driven well over 2500 miles, and traded in our John Deere tractor for a New York City subway pass. We have many stories to share and (hopefully) many more to come, which we will fill in as we go. In the meantime, enjoy the first installment of Katy and Erik's Cross Country Awards. . .

Glad to hear that you have been sleeping around - it's OK if you do it together.
I'll put your blog link on the top bar of my browser. Looking forward to many more "Croscars". What exactly is that?
