We're Home!!!!

So much has happened in the last week or so, I don't even know where to start.
Chris got home Really late at night ( or is that morning) on the 6th. He slept for a few hours then we started packing our truck.
We left Charleston around 3 pm on Saturday.
We made it to the mountains of North Carolina. Really pretty mountain town. Smack dab in the middle of the forest fires!
The next morning we got up bright and early and drove through TN, KY, IN and finally stopped in Western Illinois. Right in the middle of a Tornado and flash flood! The flooding in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa was horrible! Roads totally covered in water. It was crazy to just be driving past like it was normal. People were actually driving boats down the streets!
Day three took us through Iowa and Nebraska. We made it as far as Cheyenne, WY. It was COLD! Ok, it was 68 degrees, but after living in the south where it doesn't get colder than 65 EVER....we were freezing!
Day four Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Oregon. We drove to La Grande. WAY later than we had hoped,. Didn't get a chance to see anyone because of the time. We did however get to have Golden Crown delivered! yummy.
However, the craziest part of that whole leg of the trip....it was snowing in LG! Driving towards Baker...it honestly looked like a blizzard!!!! When we left LG and headed west Cabbage Hill had been plowed! June 11 and they were plowing the roads. Insane.
Finally we made it to Poulsbo. We got to our home and crashed. Our furniture didn't show up until yesterday, but we made the most of the time. We drove around the canal. Went to Edmonds for lunch. I got to show Gracie the house I grew up in, my grade school, high school and hometown. We had a really good time, and I was surprised how much hasn't changed since I lived there. It all looked the same!
Of course, I missed seeing an old friend who stopped by. We actually ended up passing each other on the ferry. But I'm less than 10 miles from Kingston and can go "home" as often as I like. Not to mention, her parents live 5 miles from me and she is over here every weekend!
The weather has been beautiful. Perfect. Just like I remember it.
We love our house. It's fantastic. I'm really happy with it. Poulsbo is such a great little town and our neighbors have all come over to introduce themselves! I've met more neighbors in three days here than I did the entire time I lived in SC. I had forgotten how polite North westerners are. Gracie has lots of kids her age in the neighborhood to play with. I can't wait to go on my lunch "date" with Sarah in July and see all my old friends who are just a ferry ride away!
It's good to be home. Now I need to unpack.
