As suggested we are going to do a monthly update to get us caught up. Then we will try & get fun adventures posted as they happen, or we will go with the monthly update.
Just playing it by ear for now.
Hope you enjoy!
January 2009
We were almost ready for our big move to Concord, NC. We sent dad to NC on Jan. 2nd, we sent our car on a car hauler on Jan. 5th. The movers came on Jan. 7th. They arrived about 8:30am & with 5 guys & mom, grandma, Papa & myself, they were pulling away from the house at 1:30pm. We were lucky to have Grandma & Papa's motor home to stay in until we left. Mom & I were scheduled to fly out on Friday Jan. 9th. Well about 6am that morning (the day we are to fly out) I got sick. Unfortunately it happened a few more times. Grandma had mom prepared with a wet rag & some bags for our trip. Lucky for mom 10:30am on the way to the airport was the last time I got sick. We made our flight & what ended up being a very tight (meaning stressful for both mom & I) connection in Houston. I fell asleep before the plane took off from Houston & woke up as we were landing in Charlotte. We were able to hitch a ride on the guest assistance golf cart since there was room. I wasn't in the mood to walk & mom had her hands full with our bags. We headed down the elevator to baggage claim & called dad. He was waiting at the bottom of the escalator so we missed each other but he found us at our baggage carousel while Chris & Sheila were making circling the airport.
We made the trip to The Cunningham's but with a brief stop to see our new rental house. It was completely dark so we had to go by cell phone light. We took possession the next day. We were staying with Chris & Sheila until our furniture arrived. It showed up on Jan. 16th & it took 2 guys the same amount of time to unload (8am to 1pm) Then it was up to Mom with Sheila's help to get us situated for our first night alone. We also got our car that day. Dad & Chris were in West Palm Beach, FL testing. How convenient he wasn't there either time with the movers...
The rest of the month was getting settled into our house & finding our way around our new community. My favorite things for the month were getting to sit in some Nascar race cars at Mr. Schrader's shop & snow.
Enjoy,
Love,
OOPS! Got in the way of Papa's knife.
Maybe I can go to NC in here.
Or, maybe not...
