Wayne had been working in Salt Lake City at IBM, but switched jobs and came to Research Triangle Park in 1988. We closed on our brand new house at 101 Silvercliff Trail on Dec. 29, 1987. We had to stay in the Residence Inn on Navajo Road in Raleigh while we were waiting to move in.
We had Adam-5 1/2, Isaac-4, and Seth-2 1/2, I was 3-months pregnant with Bryce.
Here are my diary entries for a few of those days:
Mon. Dec. 28, 1987
Left the Egbert's house at 7:15 am. To Salt Lake airport expecting to leave on plane 9:15 am, Chicago airport closed due to snow. We had to wait in line 2 1/2 hours to get new flight. Finally took off at 4 pm.
Because we looked so pitiful being stranded at the airport with our tiny children all day, KSL filmed us and interviewed us, later we found out we had been on Six o'clock news in Salt Lake. Also, Deseret News took pictures, Isaac and I were on cover of Deseret News.
Plane delayed in Atlanta 4 hours, so we arrived in Raleigh 2:30 am. Hertz car rental was closed, Wayne had to hunt up another rental, arrived at Residence Inn at 5 am.
Tues. Dec. 29, 1987
Closed on our new house. (Lived in Residence Inn for 7 days, our moving van came Sunday Jan. 3.)
We were in the Cary Ward. The leadership was Bishop Bray, RS pres. Stead, EQP Maxwell. I think our stake pres. was Weed.
My first calling was as the nursery leader, with P. Council and H. Shin.
Our temple was the Washington D.C. temple, and we went there about once a year and tried to do as many sessions as we could in a couple of days.
Things have definitely changed in the last 22 years.
