![]() It was so cozy and not a detail was spared. I still had some cobwebs the rest of the day, but I could function! When she started getting hungry, I got up to feed her, and just those few hours of sleep made a huge difference. I didn’t realize I hadn’t given her any of Quinn’s toys to play with or her pacifier- so my mom and sister got creative with entertainment using kitchen supplies! My mom was eager and ready to scoop up Quinn- so I handed her over as I fell into bed and a deep sleep. DJ and I were zombies- neither of us had slept a wink. We arrived in NC around 6 AM on December 23rd to a balmy zero degrees outside. Quinn did overall pretty well through the night. While the driving through winding West Virginia can put anyone on edge in the middle of the night, we were lucky to have avoided the storm and only dealt with fog and rain. We left around 8 pm on December 22nd after dropping off Moose at Marie’s (so hard to leave him, but we knew the 9ish hour drive would be near impossible with him in the truck- more motivation for us to get a mini van ha!). I picked up the truck, thanked them profusely, loaded it up after zooming around packing in the morning, and we were ready to hit the road when DJ got back from work that evening. (Although they did mess with me and called telling me I had the wrong size cover- followed by, “just kidding, you’re all set!” lol, I needed the laugh that day, but I did believe him because I totally would order the wrong size). They were so kind and had it done by noon on the 22nd. Thankfully, Joe’s Auto in Stow agreed to make it work even though they had a full docket as was. I then frantically called around to mechanics to have it installed on the 22nd, the day we were pegged to leave. On Sunday, I was calling every car shop in town and looking online for a cover that would come in on time for us to leave. The only problem was we didn’t have a cover for the truck bed (with the gifts, baby things and our own luggage we needed to use the bed!). However, with the storm and plummeting temps coming in, taking the truck was a no-brainer. We had been planning on taking my car for the road trip as it’s a smoother ride than DJ’s truck, and Quinn seems to tolerate the longer rides in it better. And once we were settled in, we were all able to take a big deep breath, but the lead up to the road trip was pure chaos (as is expected!). It’s the type of place that when you’re there, it feels like the rest of the busyness of the world fades. On a hike, you may have the occasional black bear sighting, as my mom and Pete did. Lake Lure is situated among breathtaking mountains, so peaceful and quiet you could hear a pin drop. Currently, the house is a mess, laundry is everywhere, my to-do list is about a mile long, but I really just want to share with y’all about our Christmas before it gets too far gone!įor Christmas, we met with my mom, Pete, Halston and Kevin in a cabin-inspired Airbnb home on Lake Lure, NC. Good morning, friends! I hope you have had a wonderful start to the New Year. ![]()
