There really is nothing like flying into New York City. Particularly La Guardia where, if you’re lucky enough to have a window seat on the correct side, it’s a veritable Where’s Waldo, but with buildings and landmarks and certain green statues carrying gilded torches.

As I was returning home from an eventful move of my new company, Trabian, from Dallas to Indianapolis, it made me a little nostalgic about where the company has come from. I don’t normally traffic nostalgia, it’s self-indulgent, but this little company has grown spectacularly, but steadily, since I first fielded a call from Trey at Trabian. A pair of apartments connected by a very long network cable (literally running out of Matt’s door across a landing and into Trey’s front door) has given way to offices in three different cities and a new home base in the same building as some of the most progressive minds in the credit union movement.

Although it wasn’t the Donner family making its way out west, it definitely wasn’t the easiest move I’ve made. Trey and Jenn fought stoically through a miserable virus. It wasn’t pretty. Within the first week of arrival, both Matt and Kelly were down. The good news is that this transplanted, subway-riding New Yorker ‚Äì who vividly remembers as a high point in his life the day he got his drivers license ‚Äì got to drive the whole way. I’m satiated for another few months.

The final tally:
934 Miles
4 Mattresses
4 Box Springs
8 Chairs
3 Boxes of tissues, large
2 Vials Airborne, Pink Grapefruit flavor
23 Cups of coffee, cream no sugar
1 Case, Red Bull
3 Televisions
1 Super heavy giant entertainment center
1 Amazingly big cross in Illinois
82,976 Boxes of stuff
2 red Dachsunds

We made it. Knowing where Trabian has come from, seeing where it is and its potential made picking out the Woolworth, Chrysler, and Empire State Buildings a little sweeter this time. That, and at least MY city was open when I arrived.
