A friend's sister was selling a house in AR. I asked about the house, the area, and the weather and then went home and asked what the boys thought about moving to AR. Their Grandparents has recently passed away and other than my brother and sister, we had no other relatives close by. They were all for it. So, back I went to my friend and told her I was interested in buying the house. After the shock wore off we called her sister and made arrangements. June 25, 1997 we left.
I know there's two things you should never mix with friends ~ money and business. Well, there's a third ~ traveling. For weeks we made plans to stop at a few places for sight seeing and such. Christopher was 13 and Brendan 5. Well, once we were on the road we were lucky to stop for food and smoke breaks. Plus the boys were to take turns driving in the U Haul truck which never happened as did any sight seeing. There were even times I had to put my foot down to stop for dinner. She ordered lunch and never ate it all and was just going to eat it at the hotel. I said no the boys need to get out and play. At least they agreed to that!
The good thing was most of our things had been in storage over a year, so when we did get here and started unpacking it was Christmas for the boys. Just had tons of fun with the toys they hadn't seen in a while.
