September 4-8

Our big adventure stalled for a couple of days in Winston-Salem while we recouped and geared up for the long drive ahead. The girls were busy helping Grandma keep her house clean (ha ha) and Aaron and I began a search for some new bedroom furniture to replace the stuff we left to the trash in Norfolk, not to mention we had to fill up the trailer and increase the weight of our move to increase our bottom line!

We scoured W-S... Haverty's and Hanes.... Mocksville, Boyle's..... and the up to High Point to all the furniture showrooms. We were discouraged by the lack of buy today and take it home today dealers! Everyone wanted us to order the furniture and wait 4-12 weeks for delivery! Unfortunately for us, we didn't have time to wait, nor an address to send it too! So the search continued! We finally hit the jackpot in High Point at the Southland Furniture Land Express. We found a beautiful sectional "choufa" for a great price... Sorry, no picture to share at the moment, once we find a home to put it in I will post one.

Then on the 8th we decided to go to Bowen Town and Country in W-S. We excited to find that their warehouse is local and we could pick up our furniture that day! Here is the beautiful set we got! (these are pictures from the showroom, so these are not our linens or decore... and the bed we purchased is a sleigh). Aaron picked up the furniture and loaded it on the trailer that very day! Mission one: accomplished!
