Our bathroom and bedroom...
Today is Friday. January....well....to tell you the truth, I don't know what todays date is. We arrived here on the 18th. That was Sunday. It has been a whirlwind ever since. I have not put on make-up or a decent outfit since Saturday. Ha! But, let me tell you...there are no more boxes in this chateau of ours and everything is FINALLY in it's place ;)...for now at least. I don't think it has quite hit either of us that we are 600 miles from our families and friends. If it has, then we didn't feel it because the bubble wrap found all over our apartment softened the blow. We do miss our Mommas and Papas and all of our precious friends that we are truly blessed to have. Just because we are in NC doesn't mean friendships end...I never thought I would thank God so much for the internet and text messaging ;) THANK YOU LORD! We plan to stay well connected! Our little home is absolutely everything I could have ever asked for. I think it is so precious. Its been a lot of fun...we opened some of our wedding gifts for the first time! And we got to use them...doesn't sound too exciting but for us it was ;) I like having a place for everything...I can thank Lynne Willis and David Lang for that ;) Me, OCD?? No! Never! We have explored Wake Forest little by little everyday. We are, no joke, 3 minutes from EVERYTHING you could ever want; movie theater, Kroger, Super Wal-Mart, Super Target, tons of restaurants, a mall, a massive Lowe's and Home Depot all at our finger tips...its pretty cool! I've never lived this close to anything. At home in Plant City, I grew up in the country. We were always going "up-town" (thats what my Mom always says)...not a huge drive but certainly not 3 minutes away! Its pretty cool! Daniel is super excited about school. Orientation starts on Monday and classes start on Thursday. I leave for Miss America on Tuesday. I feel bummed that I won't be there for his first day...but as a friend reminded me; Daniel is 23...he can walk himself to class! I just don't want to miss anything. We are headed to downtown Raleigh to grab a bite to eat at the Busy Bee. It is cold and ugly today...we just had a rain storm come through last night...you would've thought is was a blizzard by the way Daniel and I were acting! Daniel looks like he came from Florida. He is still tan and has color. I blend in quite well here... pasty white! Looks like this skin hasn't seen the sun for a decade!
Ok...for real this time. We are headed out. Much to love to each of you. We miss you and can't wait to see everyone in March.
