A Week After Our Move to Wilmington, NC
First, I cannot beleive that a week has already gone by since Lindsay and I unpacked our U-Haul with our good friend Bruce Brown at our new town home here in Wilmington, North Carolina. Unbelivable how fast time flies.
Last week truely was a blur. There were boxes everywhere Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Being the crazy folks that we are we had everything unpacked and in its proper place by Wednesday. Pictures hung and all. We would wake up around 8am, work at unpacking all day, break for lunch around 2pm (if we remembered), unpack more and eventually head to bed around 9 or 10 that evening. Wake up, repeat. We got it done though, and in three days!
Thursday evening we gave our first tour to Lindsay’s family via Skype Video Chat, which worked out great! Technology is going to be the key to keeping in touch with family and friends, so will writing letters, an art that Lindsay and I hope to pick up.
Friday afternoon my folks came up from Myrtle Beach to see our place and our new town. It was great to see them and to act as a tour guide to an area I hardly know!
But, after all of that I still feel like today or tomorrow I need to return the key and checkout. Pack up my suit case and head back home to cold PA. Vacation time is over. It has to be. Oh wait, this is real? We actually did this? We live in Wilmington, NC? We have a beautiful town in our backyard and the beach in our front? Really? We can stay?!
A week after our move and it doesn’t feel real yet.
I know it will eventually, but until then I’ll probably be walking around town with my mouth hanging open. And my camera clicking away like a crazy tourist.
