We Made It!

I am sorry it has been a while since I have posted anything but we have obviously been busy with the move.

About a week ago from now we were starting to do some intense packing.  We pretty much packed up our entire apartment in 3-4 days.  Cali on the other hand was quite a trooper but is a little traumatized.  She made multiple trips to Lowe's and Home Depot with us...



But she also followed us everywhere around the apartment and laid on everything she could that was still there that she knew.  Including her beloved chair..

Our bed...


And the curtains that we took down..


But she will get better with time.  

This move was the most organized and well packed move I have made to date.  Everything was in a box and they were ALL labeled and color coded.  It made it so much easier to unpack. 


We have made it to Cherry Point, NC and all thanks to Mike and Joni, we have all boxes unpacked and we are settling in just fine.  The journey was long and tiring but we survived.  After an 8 hour day of packing the U-Haul and cars and then driving the 6 hours down...



Q climbing out of the car AFTER it was loaded on the U-Haul trailer and BEFORE we figured out that you can fold down the tire guards on the trailer to let yourself out
Last time driving past the Stafford exits... Garrisonville was toward the base and Aquia was were our apartment was

 followed by unpacking for a solid day, it is starting to look like a home.  So far it is 100% better than VA.  There may not be any more to do here than in Stafford, but we do have very friendly neighbors, the beach, a yard to work in, and a much larger house for Cali to run around and play and not drive me crazy when she pulls out ALL of the toys! We do have mostly hardwood floors so she does not get traction and she has yet to figure out how to run around without slipping. But she loves the yard!
