The Drive

-
 We left SC on Saturday (1.5 weeks ago) It was a chilly 27 degrees and we were about an hour behind schedule, but the drive turned out to be ok. Kent and Patch led the way in the UHaul while Caris and I followed behind in our (packed to the max) Toyota Camery. The truck didn't have cruise control or a whole lot of speed so the 7 hour trip took us 9 hours. I had plenty of time to memorize the back of the truck. We arrived in Florida at 5 PM to a driveway full of new faces that were eager to help us unpack.

 And by unpack I mean, set up beds, fill kitchen cabinets full of dishes and assemble furniture. I got questions like, "Where do you want your bed? Which room is the nursery? What IS this?" while I apologized for how filthy our toaster oven was (that they weren't supposed to even see yet).

 About an hour into it, I gave Kent the "Ok, this was helpful and super nice, but they can go home now. I just want to sit on a few boxes and stare at a wall" look. He read my look (Miracle- doesn't ever always happen) and people slowly trickled out of the house, after being thanked A TON.

I can't say enough nice things about my co-traveler, Tiny Su. She was, once again, a CHAMP. She only got out of her car seat once (to eat the best Chick fil A our lips have ever tasted- shout out to the Chick fil A in Brunswick, GA!!)  The rest of the time she babbled, but mostly slept. 

25 Bonus Daughter Points for you, Missy!

Did today feel different to you? Special in any way? Today, February 17, marks T E N Y E A R S of blogging for me! Whaaaattttt. I started blogging to document my family (the first post was about my dad falling down the steps after chasing squirrels with a shot gun. Click here ) and in the last ten years I've had plenty of life to record (Graduations, marriages, jobs, a move to Africa, babies) Blessed. After maxing out the free storage on my first blog, I switched to Packin' Parkers  until I landed at my current blog. Will you do me a huge favor? After ten years of clicking away on various keyboards, bearing my heart and soul to you  (guilt tactics in full force) and sharing pictures of those near and dear to me... Will you tell me who you are? I'm dying to know who my readers are! I know a few of you, but I'm curious to know who my lurkers are. I am the number one blog lurker, no shame. Reveal yourself! 1.

I wear fancy shoes while reading books next to my sister  I recently asked to wear a princess dress for the first time  I try to put on my sisters' panties when they're not around  I eat cereal with a spoon like a big girl  I "help" mom sort laundry by taking one pile out of the basket and putting it in a different (wrong) basket, all while naming the person that the article of clothing belongs to "ehyaehya DADDY ehyaaah MOMMY....eeeeMINE...."
