Orange Park Yo


Paul & I packed all our belongings in a Uhaul truck & left Orlando...home to me for the past 6 years. Very bitter sweet I must say.

We drove 55 mph all the way to Orange Park..which is in Jacksonville for those of you who don't know. Btw, 55 mph was not an easy feat for me..I tend to have a case of lead foot syndrom.

We were welcomed by his exciting family when we arrived & Paul's dad cooked some goodness on the grill. It still had not dawned on me that we were not just visiting.

We woke up the next day...early. Uhh, I had been going non-stop for 3 days packing & scrubbing & I had to get up at 6 AM. Not. Fun. We unloaded all the stuff in the Uhaul into a storage facility. Ok, now that may have been alot of work, but there was some entertainment along the way....

Paul's dad helped us out, which was great cause we needed it. But Paul knew that his method of unloading was the best. His dad knew that his own method of unloading was the best. Annnnd of course these were 2 entirely different methods. Can we say that there were some clashing? Instead of finding this annoying I chose to see the humor in it. And boy was it funny!

I had an awesome suprise too that morning! We had the majority of the unloading done and up walks 2 of my best Orlando friends! Schmandi & Steph! They drove up to hang out with me all day...how awesome is that?!

Paul was such a good husband & let me go without finishing up & eat some good CrackerBarrel with the ladies. He pretty much rocks.

We had a girls shopping day: I got a sweet new purse & some other unmentionables :). Then we came back to the house & they helped me unpack all our clothes and put them away. My ladies are AWESOME.

So, that's a sum of the beginning of our new life here :).

Did I mention that we are living with his parents until we get our own place......
