four hour drive turns into an over night stay...

...at the Hampton Inn

*I have decided that I should create a blog to talk about my moving progress and the ministry that I have been called to...so here it is!

*Dad, Mom and I packed up most of my stuff last Thursday and headed out to Portsmouth to move into my new apartment. On the way there we ran into some bad wheather...a mix of snow and sleet...I call it "sneet". It wasnt so bad a first... well by the time hit Dayton...man it started coming down. Dad was following me in the 18 foot Budget truck. Mom was riding with me...and boy that was some trip...mom is truley a back seat driver...and the best thing is...she knows it. So the speed limit was 65 and we were going 30. We decided that we would pull off but there was nothing for miles. We decided to stop in Washington Court House, Ohio...well in normal weather this trip from Dayton to Washington C.H. would have been about an hour...well for us it was like two hours. Anyway we decide to stay in the Hampton Inn...over night.

*Finally we arrive in the little town of Portsmouth...the place I will soon call home...it's bittersweet. I was excited and ready to see my new place...soon enough I would be stopped dead in my tracks saying...I don't wanna live there!

*We walk into apartment 4...my new home...and YIKES!!! There was so much stuff that needed to be done...when I say so much stuff I mean...a THREE page list of stuff! To name a few...I am sure that the guy who lived there before me had a cat because the guest room closet smelt like cat urine and litter, there was mold in the caulking of the shower, the toilet seats were nasty and yellow, and the KITCHEN, WOW...the cabinet doors were painted red...not so bad huh...well add some checked wallpaper to those cabinet doors and border with cherries on it. I honestly felt like I was back at Olivet living in one of those nasty apartments. I am sure that the people there living before me loved it but it just wasn't my style:) Good thing the people at the apartment place are nice and are going to fix everything:)

*After the nice people of Portsmouth helped me move in...we decided to go to Target. Which by the way the closest Target is an hour away...I think I might die!...at least the have a Wal-Mart...right?:/


All in all...after everything gets situated...I know I am going to love it there!
