Uggggghhhhhh!

What a crazy week here in the Jensen household! We were all set to move into our new home today. I'm still on North Highland as I post. We had discussed with the current tenants at the home we are moving into that as soon as they were out, possibly mid-June, that we would move in towards the latter part of the month. They were paid up for June and we were to start paying rent July 1. We scheduled our movers, all utilities, water, cable, Internet, etc. to be turned off as of June 26th and transferred to the new place. I missed my church's VBS, which I absolutely love and so does Ella Ann, this week in order to move. Well Spencer and Ella Ann went to our future home on Tuesday night to get the key from the current tenant and after looking around the home he noticed that they still had a lot of stuff there and it was NOT clean, which was their responsibility. We took a couple of loads over there that evening and when I went alone later that night to do a little vacuuming and look around to figure out how I want the house to be arranged I received a call from Spencer saying come home now we are NOT moving until next week. WHAT???? Oh I was so upset! Not only had we already done everything necessary to get this move going but we had also made arrangements to have the kids go to Kentucky to stay with both my parents and Spencer's family. Long story short, the current tenants said they couldn't get out by this Friday and if we DID want to move in that day then we would have to pay for the 4 days we would live there. I don't think so. So I went back over to the house and hauled a bunch of my stuff BACK home, unpacked dishes, glasses, silverware, food, toys, etc. to hold us over until we move next Tuesday, June 30th. Can you hear me screaming?? Yes we were SO mad! I spent all of Wednesday morning calling every company back and crossing my fingers and praying that they get the dates right and not cut off our power and such in 94-degree weather when we still need it. By Wednesday night Spencer and I both calmed down and had our plans reset for everything. Ohhh and by the way, Comcast, being the oh-so smart people they are, sent a tech to come cut off our cable and Internet on Tuesday. So on top of everything else, I was on the phone with Comcast SIX times on Tuesday and twice on Wednesday trying to get my cable and Internet back on. Their mistake but, "they couldn't do anything about it at the moment." Lovely. Okay, enough of that vent. We got it back on at 8 p.m. Wednesday night. We missed Deadliest Catch. Not happy about that.

Okay so our plans as of today are as follows (in case you really wanted to know):

1. Meet my parents on Sunday in Tennessee to give them my precious cargo.
2. Rane and Ella Ann both go on Monday to my in-laws house.
3. Ella Ann returns to my parent's house on Tuesday and stays the rest of the week.
4. Tuesday we move.
5. Rane returns to my parent's house on Thursday.
6. I drive up to Kentucky to stay with my parent's and the kids on Friday and leave the following Tuesday, July 7th.

Got it?? Yes, I am confused as well but all should fall into place at some point! Spencer and I are looking forward to just being here in Atlanta alone....that's a first! We are going to a fellow's dinner Sunday night, will go out to dinner AFTER 5:00 p.m. (yes!!!!!!) a couple of times (better be sushi one night) and we plan on going to the movies one evening. Oh and I am going to unpack and organize like a mad woman while Spencer is at work Wednesday and Thursday so I can actually breathe easy while I'm at my parent's house. Whew, I'm tired now!

You know while all this was happening what was running through my head? "Many are the plans of a man's heart, but it's the Lord's will that prevails." -Proverbs 19:21 This is what calmed me down....it was just God's will that we are still here, even though I don't know why, but I need to just be thankful that we HAVE a home to still stay in and we are not homeless for 4 days and we don't have to pay any money if we don't want to!

Sorry, no pictures this time around....no time! I will be back to blogging when we get back from our travels.
