WOW! - Today is Sunday and is the first day that it really feels like we're really moving and really on vacation! (sorry bout my over use of the word 'really'.. i'm really sorry)
Thursday and Friday of last week, the moving company was doing their business, Friday was my last day at my job of eight years and everything was ridiculously hectic. Went to Bob's big boy.. woo hoo! - To add to all the fun, Marie and I caught a nasty cold.. (swine flu?).
Saturday was clean the house day (before my niece moves in).. The kids were having a blast running around in a big empty house, hanging out with their cousin's and sleeping on the floor.
Saturday night we all went to Marie's dad's house to spend the night in 'the shed'. 'The shed' is very cozy little room situated on the back part of his 2 acres. It has all the comforts of home crammed into one room.. no kidding,.. cable tv, video games, couch, bed, piano, microwave, ac, toys!
We had a great nights sleep, but Marie is still a little sick. Today is Sunday and we still have to go back to the house and load the car and run some errands. Once finished we'll spend some time with Troy my eldest and have dinner before we leave Monday.. Not sure where we will sleep tonight or have our iternerary completely mapped out, but hopefully we'll get that all sorted out.
So far the notion and reality of moving from my birthplace of Southern California to North Virginia seems to be fine for me and my family.. but I have a hunch that a week into it the younger ones, Sari and Steven will be begging for home.. little do they know, we have yet to find a home on the East Coast ;)
to be continued...
