The long time gone

Uncategorized

It has been a long month! The family and I have been apart while I worked on one coast and they on the other. Then the kids visited family in Texas while the better half and I flew to DC to look for a house and have Christmas with some of her family in North Carolina. Then the two of us made the mad trip back to SoCal, via bad weather planes, just in time to get all of the household loaded onto the moving truck the day after Christmas. Then the real fun began.   26th of Dec. Work on cleaning and painting while the movers loaded the truck. Then drove from SoCal to Flagstaff Az. to spend the night. What a long day, but just one of many to come.  27th Drove from Flagstaff through bad snow and ice at Albuquerque NM., to Lubbock Texas, after picking up the kids found a room and crashed.  28th Started the day by having breakfast with my Dad and his current wife, then went to get a UHaul, and load up some very old furniture of my Great Grandmothers, after that had a miserable drive through the panhandle of Texas over to Oklahoma all on ice with the trailer most of which was 30 MPH. Had supper in Oklahoma City with the better half’s brother and kept moving until we hit the Arkansas border and stopped for the night.  29th Started from Arkansas and drove in good weather until we got to the middle of Tennessee, where we stopped for the night. The dogs are already tired of the drive at this point.  30th Drove in from Tennessee to The DC area where we will stay until the new house closes in mid January and then we will move out to WV to start life and East Coasters.You just want to make sure what your choices entail, and if you can handle them before you jump in!Now to sell a house, buy a house, get the kids in school, look for a job for the better half, and settle into the new job no problem……
