last days in Texas

I mostly enjoyed my last days. I didn't enjoy all the packing! I forgot how awful it is! The big stuff is easy to pack, but the more you pack, the more crap you realize you have until at the end, you just have a box full of miscellaneous crap that you don't even know why you still own.

Thursday we went to Granny's house for the goodbye dinner she set up. Almost all of my relatives came and it was a really good evening. My Godson and Jen's Goddaughter came home with us to stay the night. Friday we played with the kids, moved Ed into his apartment and then went to dinner at Gringo's. For those who have travelled up north, you know there aren't many good Mexican restaurants, so we had to go to our favorite one last time before I moved. It was so good!

Saturday we finished packing Sing Sing and then headed out around noon. We drove until 1am Sunday morning, slept at a motel and then got up, ate breakfast and were on the road again by 830am.

We made it home at about 11pm ET, but went straight to the storage unit to unload the Uhaul trailer. Dad works nights and Sunday is his one night off, so it was perfect that he was able to come help us unload. I think we finally got to bed sometime around 1am Monday morning!

Monday I unpacked the boxes I brought to the house and returned the trailer. I still have two boxes to unpack, but otherwise I think I am good to go. Tonight we are going to visit Gram and then tomorrow I am going to Covenant to meet with the HR rep and fill out paperwork.

I will post pictures later :)
