The Parents Have Arrived!

Well, it is official. My parents have arrived and are officially Virginians! It was a whirlwind of a journey for them over the past 6 weeks but they have done a phenomenal job! They sold their home in Florida in literally 1 hour. They put it on the market at 9AM and had a cash offer (asking price) by 10AM. They sold all their excess furniture that they wouldn't need up here; Dad sold his awesome golf cart; they had a garage sale and made almost $5000 (seriously); and the moving company actually showed up on Wednesday, almost on time, and they got on the road. They drove to Jacksonville on Wednesday and stayed the night, Lumbin (?) NC on Thursday and stayed the night, and came on through on Friday. Cy and I went over after school to help unload the trailer before the actual truck arrived. They certainly have a lot of stuff but they have done a great job pairing down and minimizing. I know mom is feeling pretty overwhelmed with all of it right now but it will only take her a few days to get it all unpacked and organized.  Their place is cute, it's pretty small, but big enough for them for the year while they look to buy something in the area.
