Kevin, Katelynn, and I spent two weeks at my in-laws house. We had to wait for some paperwork before we packed the pickup truck and moved to Dallas, Texas. Katelynn stayed with her grandparents for the next ten days in North Carolina. This was tough, being without her and half across the country. Kevin and I drove from Valdese, North Carolina to Benton, Arkansas on the first day. We made it through Little Rock and stayed near Interstate 30. From there, it was only another 4-hour trip to get to Dallas.
I brought the snow from Germany and North Carolina to Texas. When we woke up and were ready to leave it began to snow. And it didn’t stop until late afternoon. Dallas was covered in a thick wet snow blanket. The next morning it was all gone, again. For the weekend, we stayed at our sister-in-law’s place. But on Monday, Kevin and I were apartment hunting. And it didn’t take long to find one. Since I was here on a Visa, the apartment complex did a background check on me, and 24 hours later, we could move in. Kevin was also job hunting. And we both went to job fairs. One was in Wichita Falls, which was another two-hour drive away. But everything counted. In these first eight days, we got a lot of things established. After three weeks, it was nice to have our own place, again. Finally, we could bring Katelynn home.
