Fifield Adventures

hi Everyone,
We're still alive and kickin'! After a late start, I forgot I still had to clean the fridge/freezer...so with no water, I was very thankful I still had clorox wipes. It took awhile, but it was spick & span when we left. Actually, the late start was a blessing in disguise. It snowed during the nite, and the roads were a bit snowy early this morning. By 11:45AM, when we left, the roads were only wet. We didn't get into anymore snow, roads were good...traffic was light. We spent last night at Hotel Rogers, we really enjoyed getting to see the family again before we headed out. Tonite, Clarissa asked me if we'd gone "bye-bye." I told her that we had. Then she asked me if I was coming back to put her to bed. I told her I couldn't, then she said...will someone put me to bed? This coming from a 2-year-old that hates bedtime, or naptime...I told her that either Mommy or Daddy would put her to bed. What a sweetheart she is. We will really miss our Michigan family, it's like leaving our real children and grand children behind!

We'd also like to thank all those who put in many hours Monday helping us get the Uhaul loaded. We have help lined up Saturday to help us unload in GA.

We love and miss you all! Happy New Years!
Michele & Tom

May God Bless & Keep you!

SNOW!?!?!?! & Birthdays

What a total turn-around! From nice, sunny, warm beach weather to LOTS OF SNOW, COLD & WIND!!!! We got home late last night...to a driveway full of lots of snow. It was a mess. We were out shoveling snow until almost 11:30PM... Today the wind is blowing terribly and of course most of the snow is back in the driveway. Why, oh why...couldn't the winter snows have stayed away from Michigan until after Dec. 30 or 31st? It was such a simple request. Anyway, we are home again...we'll be very busy packing more boxes and trying to get our house cleaned and ready to leave behind. It's hard to believe that Christmas is this week...Not that you'd notice here...tooo many boxes around to worry about Christmas...Maybe next year we can think of decorating for Christmas.

Did I Mention? Today is Tom's birthday? Well...It is Tom's birthday today! Happy Birthday Honey! Angie is going to bake him a birthday cake...Thanks Angie!
Merry Christmas!

At the Beach!!!

Yes...you read that correctly. We actually went to Tybee Island this afternoon! It is a very beautful day here today. There were even people in their swimsuits(not us).... Actually, days like today are the best days for me to be at the beach. I can handle the temps. alot better when they are a bit lower, than summer temps. I'm not trying to rub it in...especially for all our family and friends that are having snow storms and really cold temps., and no power for days. It's definately a different mind set to actually think about going to the beach on Dec. 18th...instead of shoveling snow. SO...everyone...we DID enjoy the warm weather and cool waves...please enjoy the snow shoveling for us! We sure won't miss it!

Stay safe! Merry Christmas!

Packing?!?!?!

I've redecided that I STILL HATE PACKING!!!! I'm glad we got as much stuff and things out of here as we did...because we still have too much that needs to be packed. We're hoping to get alot packed this week, so we don't have quite so much to pack after we get back from Savannah. We do have these dates set. We get the Uhaul on Monday, the 29th..and have to turn it back in, in Savannah on the 4th. So, we are looking at loading on Monday, finish cleaning on Tuesday and maybe head out...if it's not to late in the day. At the latest we need to leave the morning of the 31st. We still haven't had any serious buyers, but hope and pray that our home sells quickly.

We hope you all are doing well! We'll keep you updated!

It's OFFICIAL!!! Tom got his new job!

Tom heard from Gulfstream this morning. He was officially offered a job and accepted it! We will be moving to the Savannah, Georgia area. He will start work the first part of January. So now we start the official packing. We will drive down to Savannah next weekend and find a house to rent. Get all the utilities set up and fly home and finish the packing and be out of here before New Year's Eve.

We are excited and sad. We will miss all our good friends and family here in Michigan. You all mean very much to us. Thanks to all those who offered up prayers on our behalf!

Anyone headed down South, please stop on by. I'll post our new address as soon as we have one!
Love to ALL!
Michele
