The Big Yellow Truck


This past week has been a whirl wind of events. We were in Nashville on Monday, drove to Bristol on Tuesday, took Hunter to school and loaded the truck on Wednesday, and then picked Hunter up from school and hit the road to Florida that afternoon. We stopped in Sweetwater, TN, to see Aunt Wendy for a few moments. Hunter loved her cat and all the cool stuff she had in her "game room". That night we made it to Macon, GA. We started early the next morning with our ending destination being Naples, Florida. Hunter loved following "The Big Yellow Truck", but it was a little rough on me. The truck did not have Cruise Control so anytime that I put the car on Cruise Control I would either fall far behind or be to close to the truck. It was a long trip, but Hunter did really well. Once we arrived at our house, we unpacked as little as possible and just enjoyed our house. The yard was cute, thanks to our wonderful friends/neighbors the Mendicino's and the inside of the house was left in perfect condition by the guys!
Friday morning we ran a few errands and then came home to get ready for the unloaders, Jayme and Kevin Deardorff and Michelle and Dave Legried, to come over to help out. As Adam and I were rearranging the garage Hunter asked, "Is this whole house ours?" My response, "Yes." Adam then asked him, "Do you like the Virginia house better?" Hunter's response, "No, this house is just perfect!" Needless to say, but he is so happy here at home. The house came together quickly that night with the help of everyone. Adam and I had worried about having an overload of furniture. We had purchased a Rooms To Go package for the family room this past December for the renters and visitors to our house. We weren't sure how we were going to fit everything in, but with the wonderful help of everyone and their suggestions our home looks more like a family home now than it did before.
I want to say a special thank you to our family for your wonderful support, our wonderful friends for helping us in many ways, and more importantly our Father above. I have said it many times, our life seems to be a roller coaster of events. We don't know what He has in store for us next, but we are ready for where He leads us.
