Woke up this morning. Its real. We are here. The apartment is HUGE! The utility room is bigger than some of our bedrooms in our old house (which I keep calling home!) We have to go through a gate to get in with a card, so the boys still think its like Digby. There is a gym- I WILL go there. Soon. And a lovely looking pool, but it is outdoors so we are not that keen.
Finally managed to get hold of Ged and Noelle by text with Mr. Smith's phone and they called and passed on number to Mum and Dad who called too. It's great to speak to them.
The boys are so excited. They are going to have their first big breakfast in America, in....Dennys. Only when we get there there is a long queue and also a long queue in waffle house and another waffle house, until we find one where we can at least get in the door to wait. Hash browns and scrambled eggs later we set out to sort out my mobile. I feel like half of me has been left behind and I swear my hand is twitching!
Went to Target and bought the most important essentials. New hair dryer and hair straighteners!! I am complete.
Bought a charger and visited the mall! Again great excitement for the boys! Although I'm still turned upside down about this move the boys are loving every minute. They embrace everything new and are looking forward to just "getting on with it" I'm very proud of them. The only time a shadow crosses their face is missing Nanny and Grandad. But somehow they have the impression that they will be coming out to live here with us!
Mimi called and so did Uncle Chris and Leeann. Its great to speak to family and they are all coming to visit. Mimi is coming next week, and Mr. Smith's brothers, Uncle Chris and uncle Scooter are going to come and help move in when our furniture and stuff arrive from England.
Gutted! Phone charger won't work! Back to square one.
We went back to the apartment, and I finally did my hair.
Off to visit our friends that live here and their three children. He was Mr Smith's best man and as his girlfriend then, she also attended our wedding. It's only been a few days but the boys are really missing playing with other kids. Within seconds they were all playing like they had known each other for years. Kids are wonderful. It was the same with the grown ups. It felt like we saw each other only last week. instead of seven years ago! Ordered pizza and Mr Smith and pal went to pick it up. It was the biggest pizza we had ever seen!!!! Like the steering wheel of a juggernaut!
Thinking it was about 9 o clock looked at the clock. Time for home and bed! It was quarter to eleven. Time flies when your having fun!
