We made it. We are here in North Carolina now. It took 4 days to get here but we made it in one piece. Do not let the north part fool you because we are in the south. Our apartment is great air conditioning is splendid, I think I would die without it. However, the bugs are not so good. There are bugs everywhere. Especially wood cockroaches, which I have been told are not that bad, but they are still COCKROACHES!! They do not have those where I come from and we have them in our apartment. So today's plan of action is filling in all the holes in my apartment around the pipes and what not.

Yesturday was my first encounter with one, I won the morning battle but they were too quick for me in the evening. I have been debating to get some spiders and just throw them in the house, big ones so they will eat the cockroaches. I have been told the reason the wood cockroaches are in such great numbers is because of the heavily wood surroundings, I say, "I could use a oak kitchen table cut them down". But I think there is such things as southern hippies so they do not.

So as far as my cross country journey is concerned not much happened. Kailey and I left Sunday night. Spent the night in The Dalles with my parents. Then we drove to Salt Lake City on Monday and stayed with my aunt. Tuesday we drove halfway through Nebraska, saw a lot of corn, saw some more corn the next day. Saw fewer corn the next and eventually went through St. Louis which was white knuckled, as well as Louisville. Then magically we are not in Raliegh. It was very humid the day we got here and the day we unloaded, which incase you do not know humidity is a new concept to Kailey and I, and we do not like it one bit. But it dried up a little and wasn't too bad the past few days then today it kicked in again.

Unloading sucked, Kailey and I unloaded everything except our dressers the first day we were here. We are now unpacked, however the office is a mess with stuff laying everywhere, but that is my doing. We have had to buy a lot of furniture since we could not fit it all in the truck, incase you did not know we split the cost of the truck with a friend of mine. So far I have got a book shelf (need another) another shelf organizer thingy, cd rack. I still need another shelf, couch, desk for kailey. We left a lot behind, and it kind of sucks but we will get through it, so far I have not touched the loan I took out and I think it is time too.

Lately I have been debating the couch option. We talked about getting a futon for now, but last night I kind of decided we should just get a couch. They have pretty good sales going on right now and most furniture places deliver, so that would cut the cost of us having to rent a U-haul just to get it to our apartment. Plus I really do not like futons much at all. If I am going to fork over $100 on it a I might as well spend another couple hundred and get a nice couch. So I think Wednesday we are going furniture shopping.

Anywho that is all I will write for now sorry for lack of pictures those will be here shortly.

Love and kisses,
Rick
