There is a God and if we only trust in Him He will show us the way and make clear our path.
For the last month or so we've been trying to find a place to move into. Our landlord has to sell and we're not ready to buy so we need to find a new place to rent. We searched on different rental sites and nothing. We called a few places and even spoke to a few people but really, nothing.
Then we happened upon Realty Roundup and they have a whole host of houses they let. We turned in our application yesterday about 4-4:30 and we were hoping to get a call today saying we were approved. As the day wore on we had nothing from them so we figured that we would probably hear from them sometime saturday.
About 3:30 or thereabouts my phone rings and it's a number I didn't recognize. I answer and it was them- we got the house. All we needed to do to make it ours was pay the downpayment and the first month's rent. The very second we hung up we all piled into the car and headed to the bank.
So after 3 on the first we get to go over and get the keys and from there we will slowly start to get everything from the storage shed into the new place.
God had a plan for us and obviously His time is not our time and if we only trust in Him. It's times like this that He demonstrates that sometimes we just need to have a little faith. He will never allow us to go through anything that we can't handle (and because He is always with us, we will never have to handle it alone).
After we left the realtor's office we stopped to have a celebratory ice cream at Cold Stone, the one which just happens to be owned by the brother of two members of our faire guild. So we have a home for the kitties for a few days while we get stuff packed, moved and into the new place.
We've got Comcast ready to be installed after we move in and it should be much faster than what we have now- which is a joke. And tomorrow SMUD & PG&E will be called to give them the new address and the change of everything on the second. It'll be very nice to have power for the AC on these hot, summer days.
And Coops, well, I think she's going to be fine- once she realizes that we're not going to just abandon her. The cats are a bit freaked out but they should settle in a few days.
And tomorrow is the great move out. Everything must go! We've got two strong, manly men who've offered to help us move and we've got some raw, feminine power who're coming as well.
I think, by the time the day is done, we're going to be oh so tired it won't even be funny.
And then Sunday, we get to make sure everything's all spotless. And this house spotless when we moved in. We're hoping that someone is willing to come in for a clean on Sunday. Merry Maids isn't normally open for cleans on Sunday but if there's a need and someone is willing to pick up a shift then we've got a cleaner. But, that's only if someone is willing. If not, well, we've cleaned a house before from top to bottom and we can do it again.
