My first half a week

I'm finally in North Carolina!! :) It has been such a crazy week since I landed and I am so happy that things are slowly getting better!

I hit kind of a rough patch after I signed the lease for the apartment and got the Jeep on Wednesday. I kept killing the Jeep, my apartment had furniture in it and was filthy, I was exhausted, and after the humiliation of having to have my neighbors push me into my parking spot and then drive around with me and show me the stuff close by I broke down... on the phone with a couple of people... and finally made a bed out of the couch and crashed.

Thursday I called the office of the apartment and complained. 5 minutes after I called a whole work team came in and cleaned out all the furniture and I started showing them what was wrong... They moved me into the apartment next door (cause they had a few hours of a work list in front of them) and cleaned the place really well! They cleaned the mess in the kitchen including the mold in the cuboards and on the closet doors, the bathroom, the windows (and replaced a blind), re-shampooed the carpets, etc. After they left I bought a bed and ventured out to Walmart for food and did not kill my Jeep (OH HAPPY DAY!!).

Friday I looked around for other furniture. I'm going to have to wait till Ryley comes home for that, the Jeep is too small to transport anything so I think I'm going to try to talk one of his friends into helping us out. This is also the day that the glass from the light fell right after I shut the door and had luckily moved out of the way.. so the apartment office got another call and they came out and fixed it. Ryley was also able to call me (they were on base for a couple of hours) so I was able to vent to him for a little bit and tell him that things were starting to go better and it was SO nice being able to talk to him!!!

Yesterday I just took it easy. I drove around a bit to find the church and in the process found out how to get to the bases main gate and a lot of other stores. Then I just came home and was lazy, it was really nice. :)

Today I had church and I really like the ward! If Ryley isn't here by Thursday I will be going to the Military Wifes Support Group (something I was strongly encouraged to do) and I'm getting really excited to meet more people here! :)
Hopefully the pallet with the rest of our stuff gets here tomorrow so that it can feel a little more like our home now than just some weird new temporary place.
