Florida

This past week I was in Florida with my parents and grandmother. I had a great time moving my parents into their new house (note the sarcasm). JR and I packed up all of their stuff left here in Maryland into a 24 foot moving van last Wednesday and set out on Thursday morning at 4 am. We arrived in Palm city at 11 pm that night. That's right JR and me in a bumpy, uncomfortable moving truck for 19, count them, 19 hours. I was going to drive, and it ended up that my feet would not touch the pedals in the truck, so poor JR drove the whole way, all 19 hours.
Once we were there it was not all fun and games, we had to unload the van, well actually JR and my dad did, and then unpack boxes. Every time we move you would think that it would get easier, but no. It still stinks. The best part was that we moved my parents pool table which weights about 2 tons or something like that. As I left yesterday, the garage was only filled with about 25 more boxes or so. I hope that my mom and grandmother can get them unpacked as my dad left today for a meeting in Washington and will be gone for two days.
I know you all are thinking, what did we do with Casey and Shelby? Don't worry, Aunt Kaley, Aunt Thaila and Uncle Dan were here to entertain those girls. Kaley is a very good friend and her parents Thaila (my former piano teacher) and Dan came up from Atlanta to spend the 4th with her and our house was the perfect place to stay, all the similarities of home including a cat and a dog.
Although, I was sad to leave, I was happy to get home. I am not much for living out of a suitcase and this was more of a working vacation.
