Welcome Home

Getting to Seattle at 5am has its perks.

The city is absolutely beautiful early in the morning and even though I was still passing in and out I was excited when I was awake to be in my new home with my cars. It's just crazy to think that we drove our cars across the country and they were not going back to Mississippi.

 We rolled up to J's apartment and I'm sure he questioned himself as to who were these ugly, exhausted, scary looking people? Surely they weren't the friends that he once knew. Oh J, it's us in all of our 24 hour driving glory! We went upstairs and promptly all tried to go to bed but the Road Dog Olive was wide awake and ready to play. She was such and amazing road dog the whole trip and basically slept the entire time so of course when we got out of the car she was ready to run a marathon. My response to this was 3 hours of TRYING to sleep and then finally giving up and getting up to get ready and head to our new apartment. We basically got NO sleep but we were running off of excitement and headed off to get all of the paperwork finished so we could get in our new apartment. After all of that was said and done we had arrived and then they told me that we could paint our walls. Really? I can PAINT. Seriously? Okay I haven't slept in 35 hours but this sounds fabulous-Mom, GPS the nearest home depot right now! I am such a evil and sick person to make them paint a few accent walls in my new apartment after no one has had any sleep. I still can't believe no one refused; everyone just went along with it... and then in the middle of the painting I crumbled and fell apart crying asking WHY did I do this to us... WHY!?

Unloading the cars

Why yes, those are the same clothes and the same dirty faces.

And then I made everyone paint:

This was when I started crying and my mother thought she would cheer me up by painting "Baby making room" on the wall. I just cried harder...I'm not ready for kids Sharon!

 I love how I'm crying like a baby and everyone writes sweet I love you's to me on the wall.. really people I've torchered you all day long, all week long, and you are trying to cheer me up!? My family and friends spoil me.

Later that night we went back to J's to let the paint dry,to sleep in beds, and of course hang out with the coolest guy ever! After a fun night at J's the next morning our movers came and unloaded all of our shit -also, let me just state that these guys were AMAZING! I can't even begin to explain how awesome they are and if they read this  I LOVE YOU! (Hey, It's possible we are Facebook friends now)

We are all just praising Jesus that we didn't have to carry everything upstairs and looking fabulous.

"We did it!"

Whoops the lotion exploded in the bag. No problem we will just make a lotion cup.

And then came Haley's whole reason for coming.

Making sure that we are properly protected and that if a killer tries to get us we can Mace him!

The Knights are Home!

Until Next time....
