What a week!

Wow what a week last week.  It was so so busy.  First since the navy is keeping us here for a little bit longer we decided to get a cheaper aprt.  That was no easy task.  We had several weeks to find one and finally on the last Saturday before we were supposed to be out we found one.  So Sunday was a wonderful day of rest and Monday we got to work.  We needed boxes so we went on to Craig's list and found some free boxes but it wasnt enough so I had to go to Home Depot and buy some more.  Then we started to pack everything we could into all of the boxes we had and set them off to the side till we got the Uhaul.  Monday night we rented the Uhaul and started loading it up with all that we had boxed and ready to go, which was more than half of all our things.  We got to sleep around 12:00.  Tuesday morning up at 7 to take care of Ginger and start on the last things that could fit into the Uhaul.  By 12:30 the truck was unloaded into our new home.  But that was not everything from the old apartment.  So I went back there took a nap and waited for Carolyn to come home from work and then we got most of that pile into the truck and over to the new place.  Then to the Uhaul back.  We stayed at the old aprt. that night cause it was closer to the base.  So Carolyn went to work on Wednesday and I loaded all of the last tidbits into her car and took it over to the new place.  Set them down and headed back to pick up Carolyn.  Since it was Thanksgiving weekend she got a 4-day-weekend.  Well Dad called me Tuesday and said that Grandpa Marcus had died and invited us to the funeral and Thanksgiving dinner.  So we took him up on his offer and left Wednesday afternoon.  We got to the house around 12:15 Thursday morning.  So we went to the Loveridge's house and had Thanksgiving lunch with them at 1 and at 3 Thanksgiving dinner at the Kidds.  Friday we went shopping for presents and stuff that we needed at Kohls, Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Deseret Book, Ross, Wal-mart, and others.  Saturday was the funeral and lunch at Chuck-a-Rama.  After we just relaxed and played games.  Oh how we loved every moment.  We definitely miss Utah and the cool weather of fall and winter.  We drove home and Sunday.  We started at 10 a.m. and got to Las Vegas in good time.  From there on it was stop and go.  Once in awhile we were able to get up to 75 but it didn't last too long.  It was all coming home traffic.  We only saw one wreck in the one hundred miles of traffic.  I swear that California drivers are not that great at driving.  Fast or slow.  So we finally got home around 10:30 when we should have got home at 7.  Terrible traffic.  We had to clean the house a little bit since we left everything packed up in the house.  So we got to sleep around 11:30.  Monday was unpacking and setting up day.  I got most of it done and wanted the help of Carolyn to put on the finishing touches.  It is a nice place and will have to put pictures up some day.  That was our Thanksgiving week.
