North Cak-a-Lacky

Or for those of you that didn't understand that, North Carolina. Yep, that's right we're finally out here and all moved in. I would have posted something sooner, but there was some drama with our internet, and we just barely got it working this morning. So.

Tucker has started school at NC State, and seems to be enjoying it. He hasn't really complained about anything yet... though, he doesn't complain much anyways. But he does taste a lot of cheese, or whey, or powdered milk. Basically lots of dairy stuff. Yum?

I got out here about a week ago after a super long drive with my parents (we had to go up to Provo, then come back down from Provo, and THEN drive out to NC) who were super nice in being willing to help us move. If it wasn't for them, we would have had to start from scratch for the most part out here. It was hard to see them go, especially when my dad cried as well when they left; it was a given that my mom and I would cry, but not for him. Then my in-laws came up with a bunch of stuff for us, so our apartment is filling in quite nicely. And not only did Tucker's family give us some furniture, but they brought us tons of groceries. Super, super nice of them. I consider myself lucky with how nice/good Tucker's family is.

But yeah, we really like our apartment. We consider it a step up because it's bigger than our last, but there are some weird problems (like the fact that most everything is slanted downhill) with this one that we are still figuring out.

Now all I need to do is find a job, so wish me luck!

Never ever heard NC called cak-a-lacky. I don't get it at all. Just shows how west-coast I am.
Yeah, I agree - you DO have awesome in-laws!
