Well the move from Alabama to North Carolina did not go so well. :rolleyes: We were supposed to get the truck on Friday but U-Haul did not have any available in the size we needed, so had to wait until Saturday. On Friday, my car overheated and we just barely made it to the dealership to find out a belt busted. :mad: Saturday morning we have to drive 50 miles outside of city limits to a very podunk town to pick up the truck. It wasn't parked on pavement but in a field, but it did start.
We load up the truck, clean the house and then proceed to head off on what we thought would be about an 8-9 hour drive to Raleigh, NC. OH NO...:rolleyes: While driving through Atlanta, the truck stalls and hubby pulls over on the side of the road..tries to contact U-Haul but nobody ever picks up once we have been put on hold. Jason decides to keep driving as long as we can before the truck dies :rolleyes: :rolleyes:. An hour later, three orange flashes/cracks occur underneath the truck (I'm following behind hubby in our car) and he pulls over. Starts the truck again, try to get a hold of U-Haul, and keep driving. The truck backfires every 100 miles it seemed like but we did make it. Took us 11.5 hours. :eek:
Jason and I weren't too bright and thought living on the third floor wouldn't be too bad. :rolleyes: :o :D It took us a day and a half to unload all our junk. LOL It is FINALLY over and am actualy enjoying living in a large city again...there is so much more to do here in Raleigh and I love our apartment. I have pictures of the place and will post as soon as we get my computer monitor.
On to the kitties--the first night, we kept them in the laundry room to kind of get them use to the new smells. I let them out the next morning and am taking a shower as hubby starts yelling at me. Shadow had been in our bedroom for about half an hour (litter boxes in laundry room and bedroom door is closed) and I guess REALLY had to go. :eek: She pooped on the floor which got all three of them thrown back into the laundry room for another day. :rolleyes: Jason doesn't really like them to begin with and with her litter box issues in the past, he was not a happy camper.
They spent their first night out last night and have yet to find anything naughty they might have gotten in to. They really seem to like living here and have even been allowed outside on the balcony to sniffies around. It was Callie's first experience of the outside not being in the carrier...she was quite excited and ate a moth. :)
