New Beginnings


I am getting a late start on creating a blog so let me give the run down. Driving 1600 miles in a U-Haul with two adults, a seven year old boy, dog and a cat is not fun my friends..not fun at all. When you finally reach Florida your so excited to be there you practically jump out of your seat! Only to find that you have to drive for 6 (yes I said 6) more hours. I remember when we pulled off the highway and started down a backroad I got so jealous as we passed the houses with their lights on and the families inside all nice and comfy. When we finally got to our place (which we will be leaving shortly to move into our brand new home) we had all we could do to drag the beds out and pass out on them.

The next day we woke up and immediatley went over to Margaret and Eddie's house. They are two of the best people in the world and I will soon dedicate an entire blog to them. Eddie, Traci and Ken showed up right after we did. After all of the craziness and sadness of leaving my friends behind it was nice to be surrounded by loving supportive people. Not to mention the assistance they rendered in helping us get everything else out of the U-Haul!

That night, we went to Ed & Traci's for their usual Friday night get together. It was a great time and we were made to feel right at home. Robby was immediately attached to Ed and felt comfortable and at home immediately.

So that's our first 24 hours in FL...more to come in the future!!!
