After a 3 day drive across the country, the 3 of us made it to North Carolina safely. It was really an uneventful trip, Thank Goodness! Alexander did much better than I expected him to and the days just kind of flew by. We had to drive two cars out, so Chris and I would trade cars every few hours and then really seemed to help things for everyone.
Since our move was sort of last minute, we didn't have time to come out prior to the move to find a new house. So in the meantime, we are in Temporary Lodging on base. It's not the best situation, but we're making the best of it. It's a 1 bedroom with a kitchenette and living room and bathroom. This means that Alexander is sleeping in a Pack n Play at the foot of our bed. This is definitely not ideal, but can't really be helped. At least we'll be even more thankful for a house when we find one.
We went house hunting first thing Saturday morning with our realtor and spent the entire day with her searching for our dream home (or dream home for the next 3 years!). After the long day we have some good possibilities and a few more homes to look at on Monday. Hopefully we'll be able to make an offer by the end of the week!
Fortunately we know quite a few people that are still stationed here including some really good friends of ours. They had us over for dinner last night and we had so much fun. This was the first time they were able to meet Alexander! He loved being out of the car and out of TLF and playing with their kids and their toys. Plus, mommy and daddy were able to relax and spend some good quality time with our friends.
So far, North Carolina is really going well.
