Another quote
“It is a fearful thing to hate whom God hath loved. To look upon another his weaknesses, his sins, his faults, his defects is to look upon one who is suffering. He is suffering from negative passions, from the same sinful human corruption from which you yourself suffer. This is very important: do not look upon him with judgmental eyes of comparison, noting the sins you assume you’d never commit. Rather, see him as a fellow sufferer, a fellow human being who is in need of the very healing of which you are in need. Help him, love him, pray for him do unto him as you would have him do unto you.”–Attributed to St. Tikhon of Zadonsk (1724 - 1783)
Update
This is an update on what's been going on. Nothing. Excuse me a minute while I scream and thrash around like a child. Where are all the people who want to rent my fabulous house? Don't they know the perfect house is waiting for them? Apparently not. I'm going to have to come up with some new strategies to lead people to us. We just want to get out of here! I'm having a garage sale this weekend...maybe that will get some interested people.
Did anyone else watch The Bachelor last night? The after the rose ceremony show? Bunch of crap if you ask me. I've always been a fan of Molly but come on, was it necessary for Jason to bring Melissa on TV to break up with her? David and I wasted 3 hours of our precious time last night watching this. Ok, David only spent like 2...but still :) I laugh about it. My husband was so upset for poor Melissa I thought I was going to have to go into stalker mode and find her for him. I thought my marriage was over. David soon recovered from his heart ache and remembered that he had a wife right next to him and all is well. With that said, here is a letter that I feel sums up the issues I've been dealing with regarding my TV shows:
Dear ABC Network,
You are walking a very thin line, my friend. First, there was Sunday night’s episode of “Brothers and Sisters” that had been repeatedly touted as featuring a “SHOCKING DEATH!”. A character flat-lining for two seconds and then being revived doesn’t constitute a shocking death. If so, there would be a SHOCKING DEATH every week on “Grey’s Anatomy”. I feel completely betrayed.
And speaking of betrayed, now you give us this whole “Bachelor” debacle.
It’s as if television isn’t even real. If you can’t count on two people finding lasting love and commitment during a six-week period of time that includes trips to New Zealand, multiple hot tubs, and Goodyear blimp rides, then I don’t know what’s left to believe in.
Sincerely,
Uncle Melanie
P.S. “The Bachelor” is dead to me. For now.
P.S.P.S. Please let Melissa know she’s better off. She’d be wiping that Nancy boy’s tears for the rest of her life and sometimes you need a man to be the strong one. Maybe you could introduce her to Jack Bauer.
David has kicked into high gear and is all about getting EVERYTHING out of our house right now. He has done so much. We went and unloaded about 50 billion pounds of crap that was my uncle's on his door step. Surprise! I've been telling you for 2 years to get your crap out of my shed so here it is! It was a load off our shoulders. I still can't believe how much crap we have. How many times can I say that? I thought I had a lot of stuff but David puts me to shame. Dr. Phil? Help, please? Ok, so he's not that bad but the door of the cellar and shed hides a lot and I mean a lot. Idaho...we're still coming. I promise. Don't give up on us please.

The Universe
The universe is aligned once again now that David is home. That was the longest we've been apart since we've been married! A whole 6 nights! I'm soooo happy he's home. I'm also thankful for my best friend who kept me company the whole time.
David told me while he was in Idaho that he was taking pictures for me. I was so excited to see these pictures since it's been a while since I've been in Preston and don't remember it all that much. I was hoping to see some more pictures of the house we'll be living in and Austin and Vicki's basement. Well, David comes home and starts showing me the pictures...all 8 of them. All of which happen to be pictures of the landscape on the way there and some others in Preston and Logan. These pictures basically all look the same. Why would I trust a guy to take pictures for me? I've learned my lesson.

Weight Off My Shoulders
I told my work today that I'm moving to Idaho. And thank the Lord they are being totally cool. I am going to work with them to make the transition as smooth as possible. I have been so blessed to work for such an awesome company and I am truly sad that I have to leave them. But on to new things, right?
David's leaving hopefully tomorrow but definitley Thursday to take our stuff to Idaho. We have A LOT of stuff. We thought we might have to get another truck...I hope we don't have to. I guess I should tell my dad that I'm staying with him.
Just getting up and moving is so out of character for me. Can I say that I'm kinda proud of myself for doing it? Well, it's my blog and I can if I want to. Sorry for the pat on the back but dang, I'm really moving and the truck in my driveway proves it. Reality showed up at my front door. I truly am excited though thinking about all the things I'm going to experience that I never could have before. I look forward to growing in the Lord while I'm there, growing closer to David and learning new things! This is so awesome!

Moving Truck
I can't believe we're picking up the moving truck tomorrow!!!!!!! And I have so much to do! David says we should just throw everything away and take only the couch, the bed and our clothes. I'm beginning to think he's right. We have too much stuff and that's after I've thrown out a bunch of stuff! I'm so excited and nervous! I can't believe this is really happening!

Welcome Home
Tornadoes will be one thing that I'm not going to miss when we move to Idaho! We got back early this morning from Cincinnati and we've been having tornadoes this afternoon! Thankfully they always miss us! Unfortunately there's more bad weather on the way.
