Jen's New Digs!

Marc and I flew to Jacksonville, FL over Labor Day to help Jen unpack her house and settle in.  She has a neat house with a great yard in Jacksonville.  When we got there late Friday night, I looked around at all the boxes and wrapped things and immediately had a beer!!  We worked and played so it was a great weekend!  We watched ND do their thing and cheered them on!  We got to go out to eat at some fun places!!  And we took five bags of trash at a time to different dumpsters!  She had thirty big black garbage bags full of packing material so it was an adventure.  I have posted before and after pictures!  It definitely was a good time - just could have been a little cooler for this old gal!!  The first pictures are pre-unpacking!

So, we got the job done and it felt really homey!  Looking forward to going back when the weather is a little cooler!!

You're great folks to go help set up Jen's home. Nice photos. And Jen -- nice spot! I hope all goes well in Jacksonville.

Honestly, the only reason why my house feels "homey" is because of my parents! They survived the heat, survived the boxes and mounds of packaging paper, and did something in 2 days that probably would have taken me 2 months! I am very grateful they took the time to come down and help me. I look forward to hosting visitors, and hopefully next time they come down I will be able to show them more of JAX and less of packing boxes!
