We made it!
All the way to B.F.E. in Goldsboro, North Carolina. And man that is one FAR drive. We left on Friday and got here on Monday. We literally drove all day. From about 08:30 to 22:00 (For all you civilians out there that is 8:30am to 10:00pm. If you're not part of the military you are a civilian. Don't worry.. I'm a civilian too)
Due to big tires, Romney and I had to drive separately. I was kind of happy about that because that meant I got a CD player. Poor Romney only had the radio in a noisy Uhaul. But that also meant I had nobody to talk to (which was crappy) Thanks to Snapchat and Heytell, I was able to stay in touch with the outside world. I was really looking forward to driving with Romney. We do have 4 months to catch up on! And besides he enjoys my stories. But instead I jammed out to old CD's and listened to a lot of Christmas music and Christian music and some country music. In December that's about all they play from Nebraska...to West Virginia. Literally.
We stayed the night in Nebraska, Missouri and West Virgina. My favorite stop was in Santa Claus, Indiana. And then somewhere else in Missouri that had Panera.
Driving on I-80 all the way to St. Louis from Salt Lake, I counted 354,651 Diesels.
I'm addicted to Energy Drinks now. About half of our stops for food was at Subway.
The first thing we did when we got to NC was hug each other and then ate lunch at Bojangles. (Romney has some friends that are from NC and they said we HAD to eat there. Ummm... it's fast food. I'm going to tell them the first thing that they need to do when they go to Utah is eat at Wendy's). Idiots.
Our apartment is so awesome. It's at least 2 and a half times bigger than our last apartment. And our Kitchen is at least 3 times the size of our last kitchen's apartment. I love cooking now.
We have the most awesome ward. Ever.
We have our own washer and dryer. Kristen knows how that feels!
We are only 10 hours away from NY! (I have a hard time typing NC instead of NY)
Best of all.. I have my husband back!
Farewell from North Carolina!!
