I haven't posted on this blog in a while. Moving got the best of my time and then between getting settled, shipping family back home, taking care of the kids, interviews, and anything else I have just been slacking! Soo I'll catch up briefly now and then just move on after today and hopefully get back to a normal routine.
Let's see...we left on the 31st. My mom rode with the boys and I. We drove to St Louis for day one and stayed there. I met up with Jess and Raymond at Hard Rock Cafe for the first time and it was fun but they boys were both ready for bed:( After searching for a WalMart for meds for both of my sick kids for over an hour I finally went back to hotel. At 4am we were woke up to coughing kids again so this time I used mapquest on my phone and found out WalMart was literally 5 minutes away. Jax was wide awake so he went with me and by then I was awake so when I got back we showered and decided to get back on the road.
Day two we didn't make a lot of stops but I had found a place called The Monkey's Treehouse in Nashville I wanted to stop at for Jax to be able to get out and run. This place ended up being pretty cool and I really wish he could have stayed all day instead of just over an hour. It was basically a huge indoor tree house and then they had other areas like a giant city with cars and such, an art area, a huge mulch pit, and plenty more. The rest of the drive sucked and was just really long but thankfully we missed all bad weather and made it to our new home late that night.
My brother had rode with Toad in the moving truck and they had arrived way before mom and I so they thankfully had the truck unloaded. I gave strict orders not to unpack so they had the couch, tv, and dvd player hooked up and were just hanging out when we arrived.
Mom and Keith stayed for the rest of the week. The weather was rainy which sucked but oh well-what can you do? Getting them home turned out to be a huge mess and so Toad ended up driving them back to Iowa and then he had to return by himself:(
Anyways, so far I love Florida. The weather of course is much nicer than the blizzards they got back in Iowa right after we left. Our house is smaller than the last one but it is also way cheaper and it has space for what we have so it'll work for now! I am working at a liquor store part time and also just picked up a second job at Buffalo Wild Wings for Spring Break. Rumor has it they make some big bucks there over Spring break and I like spending money and reallly want a new camera already so I figured a few months of being home a little less would be worth the income.
Other than that I don't know a whole lot extra. I'd post pics but it's getting really late (for me anyway) and I'm ready to crash. So I'm heading to bed! Good night!
