Trip day one

No pictures for thispost as I didnt take any except with my iphone an am to lazy to put them on here.

A pretty uneventful day. The girls did a but better then last year. Ivy had some serious screech owl moments that caused my ears to bled and my nerves to prickle. But other then that They were good. I had plenty of fod to stuff in their pie holes and lots of things for Leia to occupy her time. Plus good bless the DVD player built into the van. Who ever came up with that swell idea deserves some sort of reward.

We left the house a bit later then I had wanted. 9:30ish instead of my planned time of 7:30. We still made it to Cookeville TN by 7ish. We had a bit of a late night last night. We signed on our house then moved a few things over to it. Then afterwards we went and had a celebratory drink and dinner with Jamie and Bob, jaime was our loan officer and one kick ass neighbor. So yeah up to late and one to many YAY new home drinks. Signing those papers on the house and then going to the house was amazing. Walking through those doors and finally being able to say "THIS IS OUR NEW HOME!!!" brought me to tears, in private. Had to do a lot of blinking so no one would see me being all sappy. Amazing feeling to get to have this totally new experience for me. Looking forward to the many memories we will get to make as a family in this beautiful home!

After arriving in TN we headed to the Mexican restaurant connected to the hotel for dinner and our much needed drinks. 6 bucks for a 24oz rita and 5 bucks for andrews 34 oz beer. It was needed to numb the ringing in our ears that our much loved Ivy caused us. Then we headed to the swimming pool. Poor ivy always shivers in the water. Its actually kind cute while breaking your heart at the same time.

Now we are waiting for the kids to pass out so the lunch box fairy can come visit and leave her gifts for the girls. I think I may be more excited about this then they are. Although Leia is pretty darn excited.

We should arrive in Arkansas around 5ish tomorrow. Hopefully the rest of the trip will not involve any screeching from the wee Ivy girl!! Hard to believe that in less then 2 days a truly amazing thing will happen. Seriously I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around it. Good times!!
