After the first day, I got to SC. It had been on going mission I had to get done everyday. I didn’t have time to feel lonely, that put it that way. The first morning, Gina came to Wendell’s house and picked me up to go do some stuff.. Guess what?? I got car sick!!!! It was just unbelievable, I was on the planes more than twenty fours hours and didn’t even feel sick….but sat in the car for 10 minutes made me wanted to throw up…that was just wrong…LOL.. We had to stop at where Wendell’s work…Gina gave me some ginger ale and I felt a little bit after that. And it became the MUST have drink when I was in a car for the first couple weeks, just like a baby with a bottle of milk…it was funny..LOL
Each day passing by, I had many things to do but all it was about our house….

The third day in the States, I got to meet my little cute boy, our son, Kenny. I was so happy because finally we met after many years talking on the phone and the computer.
Kenny grew up a lot and was a very smart kid. I thought soon he would be taller than me..LOL.. When I first saw him, I couldn’t help to think of anything. I jumped to him and hug him so tight. I hope I didn’t scare him..LOL.. I was just soo excited I knew that…
After meeting at the gas station we decided to go to a Thai Restaurant to have lunch but unbelievable it was closed on Sunday and same as a Mexican Restaueant we went t o next. Then we just ended up going to Applebee’s.. LOL…
We took Kenny to a mall for the Halloween shopping after lunch. I wanted him to have all he wanted. A while bank ago, we told him we were going to get him a new MP3 player since the old one stopped working . I got him a good one for him. I hoped he would love it. And I hoped Kenny didn’t think that I tried to buy him thing for him to like me. I never had that thought in my head. I just love Kenny and I like to spoil him too.. hehe.. There was no other kid that could be any sweeter than Kenny. He was such a sweetheart.
After the mall, we went to his mother’s house. I was sooo surprised,he had prepared a jar of flowers for me. Yes he knew I liked flower already…and that was the first flower I got in the US…Thank you sweetheart.
We sat down and talked a bit but then I got to go back to Wendell’s. I wish we had more time to spend with Kenny this time. I felt so bad I couldn’t drive to meet him often. I couldn’t do anything and didn’t know where is where. It was just overwhelm feeling….Arhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

I came to the house today as usual. My husband told me to try the fireplace…Yea, why nobody thought of that before??? The fireplace was great.. and it was fun and yes, it was warm!!!
There was an excitement happened at the house today. In the afternoon, there was an old man drove an old Catalac car and pulled into my front yard. That was rude. He came and talked to Mike and claimed that our house was his…LOL….funny grandpa.. I was a little bit stressed but not too bad. He asked Mike many question and left to talk to my realtor about how she got our house to sale to us. The thing was he owned too many house in the town and he had remembering problem. ..LOL… Mike told me, he drove around the neighborhood all the time. One day he saw a house that he really liked , he called his assistance to buy that house for him. It turned out that house was his already..LOL..
I stayed overnight at the our house for the first time this night. It was cold but it was warm in my heart and happy that I could stay in my own house. I slept in the sleeping bag but I wouldn’t complain about it. It was indescribable feeling. I was just so happy I knew that. Wish my husband was there with me.

It was my refrigerator and water heater installation day today. The old water heater that the pumper said it would work fine but it turned out it was not. I had to boil water for taking bath since I moved in.. LOL..it reminded me of my childhood when it got cold and we had to boil water and made it warm to take a bath.
Ok, I started the day by calling Home Depot and ordered the water heater unit. They had a special promotion to install it in one day. The fridge became a big issue. My husband had to call and ask Robert for some help to take me to Home Depot and get one. I made a call first and see if they had one we wanted in the store. When I got to the store and went to the appliance section, a staff was there and I started to ask her about the fridge that I talked to someone on the phone about. She was like “ Are you the woman on the phone with ten thousand questions?”…haha..yes, that would be me..
We got the fridge and loaded it on Robert’s trailer. He was very carver to think about the trailer and brought it with him. When I got to the house, ye ye ye, I got the hot water!!!!
Well, as we tried to move the fridge to the kitchen, we had to take its doors out and also the hallway door!!! Never be easy..LOL..Finally, we had it where we wanted…yeyeye…then I could store the food in the fridge!!!!
