We made it!

After one last final five and a half hour drive from Gallipolis, Ohio we pulled into Greensboro, North Carolina around 5:30 p.m on Saturday, July 7th. Our friend John (in-game name Shinjuku Chan) met us at our new temporary home. John has been the driving force behind our move. He introduced my husband to his job opportunity here and while we were on our travels he happened to close the deal on a duplex he and his father, Bill bought for rental property. They kindly offered to rent it to us on a month-to-month basis while we get to know Greensboro and find the area we want to settle down in.

John and Bill put in new carpets, new counter tops and sink in the kitchen for us and had it freshly painted before our arrival! I wouldn't mind staying here, but it's a corner lot and one side is a very busy major street. It's also a slightly iffy neighborhood, but safe enough for now.

Our first night here. Hurray for air mattresses! We're not sure when our furniture will arrive. It could be another ten days. We'll find out more on Monday.

Our first night we immediately went to the nearest Big Lots and bought a table and two camp chairs along with other basic necessities: trash can, larger litter box, sheets, pillows, and two fans. So now we have our bed set-up and a place for our computers. For the two of us geeks that means: Life is Good!
