WOW!

We are alive.
We are moved.
We are (hopefully) all better ...

Just a little recap of the last week:
Last Sunday, we got up and packed our suitcases to leave Nashville. We had a great Thanksgiving weekend with the Fenders. Took the boys to the zoo, strolled around downtown, went to the Rhyman, and ate lots of food. We rolled out of Nashville around 10:00 am CST, and got home around 6:00 pm. The biggest excitement on the way home was in Chattanooga. We got really backed up in traffic. When we finally started moving (in the right lane), we saw that the left lane was backed up due to a super slow driver. When we started driving past, we noticed that the driver was slumped over! Luckily we were on a straight area in the mountains, so he didn't run off the road. Christian pulled over, jumped out of the car, and started banging on the guy's window. I called 911. The guy - who was older- woke up and raced off. Hopefully, he just fell asleep and didn't have any condition that caused him to fall asleep again.

Monday morning I got up bright and early to be at the testing center by 7:30 am. I took my test and went home to finish packing. I don't want to jinx myself, but the test wasn't intimidating. We'll see in 1-3 weeks. That afternoon, Christian's mom came up from Florida.

Tuesday morning we were up early to meet the packers. They came around 9:30 to pack the beds and a wall hanging. I was expecting the actual movers "mid-day". They show up around 2:45 (that is not mid-day to me). I pack our cars with the odds and ends I don't want on the truck, and they pack the truck. By 7:30 we roll out of North Augusta. Christian was in Statesboro all day for meetings. I am so glad Carol was there to help with Lukas. I barely made it as it was. I'm not sure what I would have done if she wasn't there.

Wednesday morning we are woken up at 5 by Lukas throwing up. Christian meets the movers at the house at 8 while we are getting ready, dealing with a sick baby and trying to have breakfast at the hotel. We get to the house around 9:30, and Lukas continues to throw up until around 11. After that he sleeps most of the day.

Thursday Lukas seems much better, and we all set to the task of unpacking the boxes.

Friday Carol leaves and Christian goes to work. Lukas sleeps most of the morning. That afternoon, I start to feel sick. I call Christian to come home, and he is starting to feel sick, too. We make it to bedtime, and all go to bed early. I wake up in the middle of the night and throw up. By morning, Christian and I are feeling a little better, and after some breakfast and coffee we feel well enough to drive up to North Augusta and get the rest of our things and clean the house.

We went over to a new neighbor's for dinner last night. It was great to get out, meet new people, and feel well. We were actually able to walk to their house (it's a few blocks away). Now that we are back in the land of the living, I am really excited about what this move is going to bring.

I have most of our stuff unpacked and in it's place. Today is laundry and starting to get the office in order. By next week, Lukas and I will be out running errands and Christian will be diving head first into his new job. It's going to be busy, but this is going to be a great home.
