Onward to Sumter!

After leaving Andy and Becky in St. Louis, we took a couple of days to drive to Sumter to pick up our 5th wheel. We got in on Saturday night and met our good friends Habberstads and Williams for dinner. Then we spent the night at Habberstads house.

On Sunday, we were so happy to be able to go to Alice Drive Baptist Church. It was great seeing so many of our friends again and being able to attend our Sunday School class. We spent Sunday and Monday night at Williams' house. They had a cookout on Sunday afternoon. We are so thankful to the Lord for these great friends. They have done everything in their power to help us in this huge transition in our lives. We thank God for putting these dear people in our path.

On Monday, we were very excited to pick up our trailer. We knew it would be an all day affair and it was. The truck had to have the hitch installed too. We didn't really get the trailer until early evening. We were able to store it overnight at our storage unit site. We celebrated by going out to dinner with our friends again!

The most tiring thing was taking the trailer to the storage area and filling it up, which we did on Tuesday. I had hoped to get everything in it in a more organized manner, but there just wasn't time or space to work. It was hot in Sumter that day, but we were still able to pull out and head for Myrtle Beach by around 3 p.m.

We made reservations for a month at Willow Tree Resort. The rest of the week was spent in cleaning cupboards, papering shelves, and unpacking boxes. The most important date was on Thursday. Craig and I celebrated his birthday. His cake was the first thing I baked in my oven. It was goooood too! Craig said it was a great birthday present....a new home and no more full time work!
