Sunny California?

Today the Losinwalds move in! I hope California is ready for us! Our day started early because much to our surprise our mover, Bobby, called and said he could deliver our furniture a day early. We were all thrilled because that meant no more Best Western and this morning was our last time to load up our car.

So at 5 AM the roads were extremely foggy and also at 6,7,8,9 and 9:45 AM. Where is the sun?When I say foggy, I mean can not see more than 100 feet in front of you fog. Needless to say, it made us a little nervous driving butDave did a great job in the pilot seat and I was the co-pilot with Emma and Gretta.

We found that this arrangement worked best after Dave had a melt down on the way to the Grand Canyon because it was " Dad, I need a snacky" "Dad, I need a drink." "Dad, I want to watch a movie." "Dad, can you build old puppy a nest?" After about 3 miles of that he could not find his sunglasses, in all of the CRAP we had loaded down with us, and we had to pull over on the side of the road while he had a little melt down. From that point on we assumed the pilot co-pilot positions for the rest of the trip. He did a great job of getting us home and it was probably best that I was the co-pilot because there were some tears that were shed silently as we passed over into and through California and driving to our new house that morning.

My tears dried up and I got butterflies in my stomach when we were about 20 miles from home and all of the sudden the fog disappeared and what I thought was a cloud in the sky happened to be the top of the Sierra mountain range.

From that point on I have not been able to wipe a smile off my face when I think this is what I get to look at every sunny day AND for the first time in 8 months my family will all be under the same roof and we will get to eat dinner together, hang out together, talk face to face with one another, my husband will be able to kiss his daughters good night and I can have a glass of wine and look out my balcony to a beautiful sunset.
