We Like Dislike to Move it Move it
Moving Day 1: It's been a very long day. We're not out of Texas yet though, so that’s okay. We started out at 5 AM getting the unpacked packed into the car and getting Hunter ready to go. We didn’t get out of the house until 6:40. We needed to go by my dad’s work to say goodbye (the hardest thing I've ever done in my whole life) by 6:50, it was a tight trip.
Of course, it wouldn’t be me if I did not forget something. We got about 15 miles down the road when we realized we’d forgotten my purse (which holds all my DL and military dependent ID) so we had to turn around and go back. Poor Kiefer, he tried so hard to leave by 6. However, turning back into Willis had it’s perks. We plugged FortStockton into the GPS and it led us a shorter (mileage) and faster way to get here. There was no traffic (all country highways) and the speed limit was 80 MPH. Kiefer’s grandfather had a 70 mile head start on us, and we reached FortStockton at the same time. Pretty cool, if I do say so myself.
It was pretty uneventful, Hunter played with his (many) new toys that his Godfather Noble got him and had a pretty relaxing 440 mile ride. He had one freak out, apparently the sound of windshield wipers scare him. I think this is a new development, but I’ve only driven in the rain with him 2 or 3 times, so maybe I just got lucky.
So now, we rest. We have a long day a head of us tomorrow, too. It’s Tucson or bust.
I am a misplaced Marine wife in San Diego from Texas, with my husband and my sweet baby boy. I have a serious shoe addiction and the same goes with handbags. I'm going to school for health information technology and medical coding. A part time photographer, former cosmetologist and full time Mommy, I wouldn't trade this life for anything!
