IM HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM HOME!! WE MADE IT! 
So, I ended up packing up my trailer and truck all day, then took a shower, and then drove straight for about 15 hours. It was all worth the hard work. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my chest. Saying that finally being here is a huge sigh of relief is a huge understatement. 
I was welcomed into Florida with some sunshine rain, which is like one of my favorite things about the weather down here. Its so weird and so cool all at the same time. Not a cloud in the sky, bright and sunny, and yet its pouring down rain. Its like God was like, "well, lets throw in this curve ball and see how they react to it." 
In all truth though I am seriously thankful for that rain though. It woke me right up and I was really starting to feel the fatigue of the drive and still had about a hundred miles to go. It literally came out of no where and guided me almost all the way home. It was like a figurative five hour energy shot from God. 
Alyssa, ended up sleeping the majority of the way and was actually really good the rest of the way. Only had one temper tantrum at one gas station but that was because Alabama was fucking hot. It was ridiculous! It was only 94 degrees but it felt like it was about 115! 
My dog Zuko and my turtle did really well too. Zuko was so excited to just ride in comfort after having to be stuck outside for months in Arkansas. He is such a good dog. He has stuck by me, guarded the truck, he snuggled with me last night till I fell asleep,  and hes just been such a good dog. All he ever wanted was just some love and attention. Maybe some air conditioning too. My turtle faired really well too. He rode in my lap the majority of the ride because he was trying to escape from the box I had him in. I swear my turtle thinks he is a ferret or a dog. I have always been able to handle him like he was some other animal. He crawls all over me. Rides in my lap or on my shoulder and he has never bit me. 
Zuko, turtle, Alyssa, and I all ended up having to stop at a rest stop to cool off once we finally got into Florida and out of hot ass Alabama. There were huge signs everywhere saying no pets allowed in rest area but I guess I am a rebel. I put my turtle in my purse grabbed my munchkin and put Zuko on his line and walked right inside. It was a funny sight to see. I had turtle in one sink cooling off. Alyssa (naky baby LOL) cooling off in another sink. And, in the next sink was Zuko and I taking turns. Yeah, the woman that walked in just kinda looked at us like....wow. It was great. I really wish I would have been playing redneck woman on my phone or something. I am not really a redneck. I just dont care. My babies were hot and I was going to make sure they were cooled off. Ill post a pic in a few. 
Anywho, I got here, got a shower, spent some time with the family, and then zonked smooth out! Now aparently its the 4th of July so we are going to the beach. I had my days mixed up and didnt know it was the 4th today...oh well. Happy independence AMERICA!!!!!!! Hope yall all have a wonderful and safe holiday!
