Move # 2: October 24th, 2016 - ~ Cary, NC to Raleigh NC

I got out of my Psychology class and placed a quick call to my parents. Dad picked up.

"Hey, bud. How are ya?"

"Great. So, the mattresses came? Y'all are gonna be staying there tonight, right?" I asked.

"Yup. Our first night in the new house. Start of a new era!" Dad laughed. "Shame we couldn't do it when you were home on Fall Break two weeks ago."

"Ah, that's all right. I'll get to experience it when I come home on Saturday for Patrick's show."

"Oh, yeah. Well, good deal, dude! I will let you know tomorrow how it feels living there."

"It'll take some getting used to. 20 years in one spot can leave you very attached. Take care, Dad."

Just before Halloween, I got to spend my first night in our Raleigh house. By then, it was almost completely furnished. It seemed like an idyllic place to be, with lots of history and friendly neighbors. I figured my family would be here for another 20 years at least, if not longer. For my parents, it might even be the end of the line, as it were.

Yup, this could do as home.
