We made it to OHIO! We love our new apartment and we love the area! I will post pictures of our place later when I take them:) Chuck had his first day today. I was a little sad seeing him leave this morning. It is just really really nice to have someone there with me during the day, but I can't be that spoiled:) We have been going to the zoo a lot!! Our friends Sarah and Ben bought us a year membership for watching their sweet little girl. They are so nice to do that! Let me tell you, it has been used A LOT! We love our Zoo here. I have never been to a zoo before that you could interact with the animals so much. There are a lot of animals that you can pet and others you can walk into their habitat and they are just all around you. I need some visitors so I can take you to the zoo! We decided that before Chuck started that we would go camping. Now, most of you know, I do like camping, but I always get sick. Almost every year at girls camp I left throwing up! This trip was much different:) It was really fun! We did have a small raccoon problem. They literally had no fear at all. They would think that we couldn't see them or something. They stole Penny's bag of crackers, and I could hear them in the night getting into the charcoal. I hope they tried to eat it and got a nasty surprise:)
There was a resevior there so Penny and Chuck put their feet in. Penny decided to sit in it, but that's ok:) The next morning we made pancakes and eggs and hit the road. I don't think that Penny got a very restful nights sleep. She ended up puking on the way home! I hope I didn't pass my curse on to her:( But she was fine the rest of the day, especially after she got a nap:)
Since Chuck has started work again he has his first overnight shift coming up. He wanted to find a bed, that we would eventually pass on to Penny when this baby was born, to sleep in after he came home from overnight call. He couldn't find one that was very reasonable so he decided to make one! Talk about talent!!
Isn't it great! He is going to do that slats like they do at Ikea. That is what we have on our bed, instead of box springs. It literally took him less than 4 hours to build and it only cost him less than $40! That is great! I feel like I have the most handy husband:) It is also nice that our place has a basement that will be nice and cool and dark for him to sleep in. Hopefully he can't hear me and Penny running around upstairs. Well, keep posted, I will post pictures of our place and our dramatic first night here in Columbus! It is a wild story, let me tell ya!
