Hickory, North Carolina!

WoOt!
We only have a few hours left to drive tomorrow, and then all of our friends will be there to help us unload the truck, and then the May Fire Festival on Sunday! FunFunFun!

The right back tire on the U-Haul almost went KABLOOY today, so we had to stop at a Jack-in-the-Box, and wait for the repair guys to fix it... Chocolate Shakes!

The rest of the trip was uneventful. When we first hit the road, we saw a truck trailing a, get this!, TANK. Like a real, honest to goddess, Military TANK. My camera is REALLY slow, and has been costing me LOTS of really cool pictures. I want one that I can just continually snap, and not miss anything. That'd be AWESOME!

We didn't see much flood damage, just debris on the side of the road, and all of the flooded out residents. The Econo Lodge we stayed in last night SUCKED. If you ever have the opportunity to stay in one, turn it down. PROFUSELY. You can thank me later. :)

When we passed the North Carolina boarder, Mom started crying. It startled me. Especially when she told me why. She says that it just now hit her that we're going home. It was kinda shocking seeing as that's all we've been doing for the past 3 days... Oh well, to each their own shock, I suppose.

Dougan just freaked mom out by disappearing behind the bed. Same thing happened with another one of our cats when we first did this. Scared her to death. So now, she has Key locators on them. The cats now beep. :D

The La Quinta we're in right now is Bliss compared to the Roach Motel we were in last night. it's only been open 8 months! Every thing is BRAND SPANKING NEW. XD Extreme yay!

It's really humid here, and it's kinda odd, but we're readjusting fast. It even rained for a few minutes today! And last night, and today, we've been seeing Lightning bugs!

We're sooooo happy!

Okay, it's 12:14 here, and I'm tiiiireeeed!

Sleep well, and thank Hermes!
