Well, it is official--We now live in WNC (Western North Carolina). Early Tuesday morning the caravan started south. Tony drove Steve's truck and trailer laden with our earthly belongings. Bill drove the pickup. Maria, Elsie, and I got the best ride in the van. Elsie surprised me at the last minute, adjusted her work schedule and rode along. Wonderful!! It made the hours fly by. We could visit for eight hours straight without any guilt!
We got everything unloaded by Wednesday noon. Tony and Elsie left shortly after that. It was sad to see them go, but it had to be. The living room is still full of boxes. There is still soo much to do, but it feels really good to be settling in rather then pulling up stakes.
We already had two sets of visitors. Our next door neighbors--the former owners of the house stopped in last night. They are a wonderful Christian couple, and already have blessed our lives. Our new pastor and his wife stopped in today. They arrived in a convertible sports car. Almost the first sentence out of his mouth was that this was not his car. A patient of his wanted him to borrow it so he and his wife could go on an anniversary outing. I wish I would have gotten out the camera. It looked like a blast!
A friend of ours who has also moved a lot, summed up my sentiments very well. He said that moving is way over-rated. In spite of everything, things went smoothly. We appreciate all the good help we got!!
