Back in Holyoke...

By Tabitha Leigh on June 24, 2010 5:42 PM | Permalink | No Comments

So... we got back around 8 or 9 Monday. The drive was okay, I guess. Other than the 2 hours we spent in a traffic jam on the interstate because a tractor trailer turned over. We moved 8 miles in those 2 hours, pretty much. Yikes.
It was so bad that I had to pee... and there was no exits, no stores, no houses. nothing. We pulled off on the side of the road and the car blocked me while I pissed on the side of the road. There was literally no other option at that point. I had to pee so bad I was in pain.

I started driving after we got dinner/breakfast at an Omelet Shoppe around 3am. And I drove until the sun came up and then some. I drove for as long as I could but eventually I knew that it would be dangerous if I didn't pull off to rest, so I stopped at the first place I found, which was a McDonalds. Haha. We must have been a sight: two kids sleeping in their cars in a parking lot. Keep in mind that when I was driving, Dennis was asleep, so I was kind of left up to my own ideas. haha.... Because, now that I think of it, McDonalds wasn't the best place to stop and SLEEP. But it ended up being alright because I only slept for three hours or so, and then I woke up, changed t-shirts so I felt more clean, and started driving again around 8am or something. I drove until 10 am I think, I'm not sure. Dennis eventually woke up and took back over. We have noticed a humming noise while driving the T-bird. Something is wrong with it, but we aren't suer what it is. It's very unsettling, and Dennis is worrying about it a lot. We aren't sure what we're gonna do in the way of cars because we have got to find a way to get everything taken care of and we need working vehicles, so hopefully this is something simple or something that we don't even have to really work on in the first place. I don't know.

We went back to Centralia, Pennsylvania. Dennis got a ton of pictures this time. Went spent quite a while just roaming around the ghost town taking pictures before we decided to leave... we were hungry and hadn't eaten since 8am. and it was around 4pm before we got another meal. There just wasn't anywhere we wanted to eat coming up on the interstate exit signs. But we eventually stopped somewhere in New York state and ate at an IHOP. After that we headed straight back to Holyoke, if I remember correctly.

Since we've been here it's been HOT AS HELL. Just like it was in Alabama. D= I am so so so hot and sweaty this year. I think there is something wrong with me. I have never sweat-ed this much before in my entire LIFE.

In the coming month we will be returning to Alabama, with James's truck and trailer to take our stuff down there. Dennis will come back up here with James and they will fly out to Seattle for that job over there, mean while I will be at home looking for a job and/or scoping out trailers. We are really excited about this... We have so many ideas and plans and wants for our own place. Most of them are stuff Dennis will have to build, like decks and porches and such.a

And for the record guys, I am not pregnant, In case you hadn't heard already. I am, however, convinced my hormones are messed up. There is no reason I should be feeling the way I feel lately. It's ridiculous.
Anyways, Dennis and I got kind of attached to the idea of having a baby while all this was happening the past week or so. So... We are planning to conceive sometime next year... and hopefully have a baby in 2012. However, if it accidentally (by the will of God, perhaps) happens before then, we will be just as happy to have our little darling sooner.

So that's that. I will keep everybody posted on how the packing and moving is going. And then Dennis and James's little trip and job in Seattle. So exciting to finally be getting a place of my own eventually. I mean, it won't be immediately, by any means. It will take months. But just being home is a blessing in and of itself, even if it is a million and one degrees outside. =P
