If ever there were a blog update...
I'm currently sitting in a Super 8 in Lincoln Park, Michigan..
The AC is blasting a cool 64 degrees, and for the most part, is muffling the noise of the oncoming trains that pass by the hotel every 20 minutes. There is a Lean Cuisine frozen dinner to my side and Axton is watching his second hour of Nick Jr. Sprout. Anchor is napping. We will most-likely venture out of the room after lunch to swim in pool. This is bliss.
Pure and utter bliss compared to the NIGHTMARE of last week!
Last month, we sold almost all of our stuff and packed what was left into a U-Haul. 40 hours of cross-country-car-trippin' and20 a couple McDonald stops later...we made it to our house in Licoln Park. Without going into too much detail, the house was a mess and not livable for our kiddos. The previous tenant moved out hours before we got there, so the house had not been cleaned or inspected. Let's just say that we were afraid to let the boys walk around.
And, there we were. Stir-crazy children. Josh was starting school the next day. We had no food, and the kitchen was not sanitary to keep any groceries. The house wasn't safe for the kids to explore. We had to return our U-Haul truck. So, we did what anyone in our situation would do...
...we got in our car and drove to McDonald's to regroup.
The past two weeks have been stressful and trying (and expensive!) to say the least, but we found an awesome house and are set to move in next week! Not to brag or anything, but we have awesome family who have done so much for us during this whole ordeal. We would be in an awful predicament had it not been for them...or our smart phones!
On the plus side, we REALLY do like Michigan thus far, and Josh is at an amazing school! And...the kids are now fully-acclimated to sitting in the car for LONG periods of time! This is going to be a great experience and I can't wait to share it with everyone via this blog!
Now, if you don't mind, I am off to enjoy my Lean Cuisine, which, if I may be so bold, is WAY better than McDonald's!
