Saturday morning was a bit of a write off…45 minutes in the bank to make a simple transfer…two hours at the lawyer’s office to sign my name three times…  I was a bit frustrated.

The afternoon was a different story, however.  I got back to my house around 1:30 in the afternoon (armed with chicken for the guys to placate them for being three hours later than I said I’d be), to find that almost everything in the house had been moved to the front yard…thanks to the diligence of the aforementioned guys.  They’d even finished packing the few things I hadn’t before I left…which made finding my contact solution that night a bit of an adventure. 

We packed my truck first…and packed it was.  Boxes higher than the cab…and the cab itself as full as was humanly possible (David rode to the city with my stereo on his lap).  Then the big truck I’d hired arrived and the real work began.  I have a lot of stuff…and some of it’s heavy.  But we managed to load everything up onto the back of the truck’s flatbed…probably five feet off the ground by the way… 

And now it all sits in my new living room…everything I own…all of it…completely disorganized…

I’d hoped to try and figure some of it out Saturday night, but after buying the guys supper and driving them all to their respective homes, I got home and was so tired I could barely find my bed.  Actually I couldn’t find my bed…and I was a bit worried.  Then we found it outside, leaning against the house.  So I dragged my mattress upstairs, dumped it in the middle of my bedroom and promptly fell asleep.  Seriously…I don’t think I’ve ever been that tired.  I woke up sometime in the middle of the night…turned off my light and pulled a blanket over and went back to sleep.  Until this morning when, for some unknown reason, David decided to play his music at “Ken’s going to have to kill him and figure out how to get rid of the body” levels.  

But I’m in and that’s good.  Tomorrow the shopping begins and the organizing of the stuff…  I get a bit overwhelmed when I realize how much we need…not in the “how much it’s going to cost”sense…but in the “wow, it takes a lot to set up a house for ten people” sense…

So thanks for praying about all of this.  Like I said…I’m pretty worn out and emotionally spent.  It’s been a long road to get here.  But God is good and He’s been faithful through it all.  I’ll update more soon.
