Today is the Day

Just 3 1/2 short months since I arrived in country, I am moving again. I realized that I've made most of my major moves while teaching. Not really a great combination. The house is in complete upheaval as are our brains. The complications to this move seem overwhelming right now but I'm sure once it is all done we will laugh about them.

Problem #1 - Not having a key to get into our current house. Most of the keys work. Just not the one to get through the final door. We made valiant attempts at least 4 times yesterday. That was taken care of at 8:30 this morning. I waited for a half hour for the landlord and realtor to show up. Sure enough, we never received that key. Problem solved.

Problem #2 - The sheer amount of stuff we have. Thankfully we created a facebook event to invite our friends to help with the process. At 2:45 we should be overrun with lots of people who want to help chuck our stuff into a truck and move it 4 blocks away.

Problem #3 - The 70 gallon fish tank. Moving it will require re-catching the fish. Siphoning out the water into the many waiting buckets and barrels. Saving the water. Transporting the water and the fish tank to the new house and setting it all back up again. We have to save the water or the fish will die if we put them into a completely new watery environment.

Problem #4 - Actually more of a blessing. We found a stove and a washing machine. They are both used so they are much more affordable than the new ones we have been looking at. This afternoon before the move we will trek up into the hills to fetch them. Please pray that we can find an affordable ref (fridge). For now, we will haul our current landlord's ref over to the new house to use for the next 2 weeks. Please pray hard.

We will be without internet and phone and cable for the next couple weeks. We were unable to get those things hooked up before our move. So I guess I'll rely on e-mail to keep in touch with you all. I'll be able to check up at school. Blessings!
