Right now I'm currently living without couches. This is the first time "our" house has looked not claustrophobic. Maybe that's been the key all along--no furniture. I actually think I could do that.
We got rid of our couches this past Monday and I'm going to buy new furniture for our new condo that we're supposed to be moving into four days from now. The minor set back to this plan is that we don't yet have carpet, running water, or a final signed contract for the condo. I know I'm supposed to be like whatever, it'll all work out. But more and more I find myself wondering: Is alright to start freaking out now?
Adding to my concern is the knowledge that our landlord is being completely inflexible with us staying longer if we need it. We've been upfront and honest about everything telling them we're happy to pay for the extra time we need, also that we'll show this house to anyone that's interested in it during that time. That we'll help them advertise. Nope. They still are telling us that we have to be out on the last day of the month. Thanks for that added stress.
Seriously, I might just be homeless in four days. It wouldn't be the first time.

How is it going??? I hope things are smoothing out! Don't you just love when life kind of pushes you right to the edge?? Ugh. Stinks that it's the best way to learn to truly trust the Lord! Hang in there!!

Oh Love,
I have been praying for you. May you find special little blessing in this hard time. Do you have any help for your moving day (whenever that may be)?
heard you guys decided on the condo after all... that's great! i hope these next couple weeks go by fast so you can finally settle into your own place. i talked to martin on the phone the other day but it slipped my mind to mention we are expecting baby #3. i guess with the 3rd one it isn't as all-consuming, but we are really excited about it. hope you guys have a great weekend!
Hey everyone - thanks for the care of how martin and I are doing with the move. We don't have internet until we move to our permanant codo so this is being typed on my lunch hour at work. (while eating grapes btw)
There is a possibility that we'll be able to move into our place this weekend. That would be very lucky though and I'm making my bets for sometime the next week or even the following weekend.
we're staying in a great unit that is brand new/ never been lived in with a great view of Little Traverse Bay so I'm trying not to complain much about having most of our stuff in the garage of our permanant condo and the things that are with us now are still in boxes and suitcases waiting to be transported.
I'll give a better update when the internet is connected again....stay tuned...
melanie - CONGRATS!! martin said "well that was a big thing to slip her mind!"
can't wait till your connected again to see you on flickr again, and posting on here again! i hope the move went (or is going) well...
