Thanks and Goodbye

To all that helped us get ready and moved, THANK YOU!! We would still be in the great town of West Hartford loading that truck if it weren't for all of your help. We are currently at Jackie's house in Fort Thomas, KY--a cute little town just outside of Cincinnati (on the other side of the river from OH). We are loving our time here visiting with family, but already missing everyone back in CT. Our departure was not without incident. After loading the truck and going to bed on air mattresses in our apartment, we woke up ready to leave. We just had to clean up a little bit, take a load to the dumpster, and wait for our landlord to come by. After he came over and gave us our deposit check, JJ went to take a garbage load and pick up her last paycheck from Farmington Farms. As she was leaving the parking lot the Camry died. So we had it towed to a nearby auto shop and had the ignition coil replaced. We had JJ take it in and cry a little so they would work on it that day and get it done so we could leave. Right after they called (at 5pm) to tell us that the car was done, we heard a thud and screaming for Lewis to help. Our neighbor had fallen and Lewis ended up helping her up and taking her to the hospital to have a CAT scan. After they got back, the guy from the truck company finally showed up. We were glad we were there when he got there because he and Lewis had to rig up a way to keep the dividing wall to stay put, otherwise our stuff would have fallen all over the place. We finally pulled out at 6 PM and made it to Clearfield, PA by midnight and stayed in a hotel. We woke up Thurs. AM and the Camry decided to not work again. Luckily, Lewis was able to fix it (we hope) by tightening the things around the battery and we made it here to KY and have been relaxing ever since. Today we went to this great place called the GAP clearance center where they send all the things they can't sell. I could have bought a lot more things if the kids weren't getting in the way and Aiden didn't have to spend 30 minutes in the bathroom. Twice. I'm not kidding. Tonight we are going to a Red's game. More to come on the adventures of moving to AL later tomorrow. Again, thanks to all that helped. We will miss you all.
