We Made it to GA!

So we are finally here, back in GA. We were very happy to leave Killeen and to finally be getting back home. The only word I knew to describe how we felt was exhaustion. Pure exhaustion. Our stuff was packed up on Monday, then it was moved out on Tuesday. Wednesday we used to clean the entire house from top to bottom, get the pest control people to come, and have the carpet professionally cleaned. I accidentally threw away my keys to the duplex, yeah stupid I know, and Brandon had to dig through the trash to find them and threw up whilst looking for them! Poor thing.... We did survive the week though which is all that counts, and I will tell you the truth, there were times that I was not so sure we would survive!
So on Thursday, the day we had planned to start our journey, we waited for 2 hours for Longhorn Properties to come and do a walk through and the finally came and so we didn't get to leave until 1 PM. We had planned to leave before 11 so this threw the proverbial 'wrench' into our plans. We ended up staying Thursday night in Shreveport, which is not very far just maybe 6 hours, but we got to hang out with Allison and Daniel so it was really nice to see them. We didn't know if we would be able to make it home by Friday or not, but Brandon did really well driving and we made pretty good time. We ended up making it back to Blairsville by 8:30 Central time last night. Caylen was very good on the trip for the most part; she was fussy Friday because she was off her nap schedule but she still did pretty well. The cats did pretty well, too except for the first couple hours of driving. They had to sit and wait for us to finish the walk through so they were really tired of being in the crates by the time we left. Sox especially was freaking out-- she was foaming at the mouth and drooling and vomiting! She is okay though, of course, she just gets stressed easily. Well, we will be in Blairsville until Monday morning when we do the walk through with our renters and then transportation is bringing our household goods between 8 and 10. So, we have a couple of days to relax before we have to start getting everything unpacked! Whew!
