Almost There

Well, I'm sitting here in a pretty much empty living room. We had incredible help yesterday moving most of our furniture and Marc and I did the rest today. We've also had several people come entertain the girls for several hours each day and that has helped tremendously. We will spend our last night here in the house tonight and then move over to the new house tomorrow. We are exhausted. Marc especially. We moved our bed today- a box springs and a mattress. That was horrendous. Marc had to take apart the box springs, or at least one end of it to get out of our house and up the other house's stairs. I was fighting tears the whole time- from exhaustion and just disappointment in other things. We heaved and heaved and got that thing up the stairs and we both collapsed on the ground in our new bedroom.

Anyway, just please keep praying for us. The rooms are smaller than we remembered (we just moved in with suitcases last time, we didn't have any personal things with us as far as furniture b/c it was already furnished) and it has 4 bedrooms instead of 3, which means they are a bit smaller. I was really disappointed at first, but I'm sure it will be okay and we will adjust once we get everything in it's place. We are tired, out of patience and just want it to be all done with. After we vacate tomorrow we will have to clean this place top to bottom and then we can turn in our keys. There are some other details to work out, so if you would just please pray for our situation we would be ever so grateful.

Oh, and we actually have Internet at the new house now. They were able to switch accounts easily, so I'll show some pictures hopefully soon.

I'm sorry the process has been so arduous that it has left you in tears. I hope today will be better, and tomorrow even better, etc.

Oh man, moving is so exhausting and difficult. I will pray that God will renew your strength and energy the next few days and make the transition a smooth one.
