We are here and loving it !!!











We are here!! City life so far is great. Our new home is here at Holly Station. In one pic the boys are standing infront of our appartment. We took off to the neighborhood pool today, got the boys to stop for a pic. Trent and Bryson had a great time, but Heston got punished for pushing Bryson in the deep in and had to sit out. Oh well maybe he learned his lesson and tomorrow will be better for him.

We drove over to the hospital where Johnny will be working, (see pic). He is ready for his first day on Monday. He will have a bit of a drive but is ok with it. Everything else around here is about 1 mile or less. It's great !! We found an awesome grocery store today called "Safeway" it's a lot like the Publix back home. BUT,,,,,,,, we can not find Duke's Mayo anywhere. We tried Wal-mart and Safeway and Duke's is no where to be found. Johnny is about to pack up and head home. He loves his Dukes. Oh well ! We can't have it all. Maw-Maw is coming for a visit later in the week, maybe she will feel sorry for him and bring him some.

Maryland here we come!!







Aug. 12, 2009 we leave leave for our grand adventure. Our day went well. It rained a little, Bob, our great friend said "Hartwell was crying for us". Don't know about that. but thanks to rain it was not too hot. Most of our morning was spent discussing Uhaul's stupid rule that Ford Explorers can not pull their trailers. But after long debate our wonderful family, William & Gina, have decided to haul the trailer up to us. THANK YOU !!
Our traveling was great ! We stopped at the Red Robin for supper, see pic. Thank goodness for Odyssey Adventures, our boys have listened and enjoyed them so much that time just has flown by. We stopped for gas and have to get Brownie out for a stretch. For anyone who does not know Brownie is our over weight, fat, lazy, Houdini , master of escape Hamster. We all love her. See pic.
We end our day at a hotel in Petersburg, VA tired and ready for a soft bed.
