Soon this will be over and not nearly as stressful. Everything has not went as smoothly this week as we had originally planned. We have been overwhelmed with the shear magnitude of having new job in another state, compounded by the generosity of Daniel's new employer. He has said several times that they have offered plenty of incentive to perform before day one on the job. The folks in Berryville and that work for Tyson and their 3rd party people who are helping in the move have made us feel special on a level that we've never experienced, and I am most grateful. My friends and family who are military and who work for companies who move them here and there, and those that just chose to use a moving company surely must think we are overreacting. Once again, let me say - this is "us". Things like this just don't happen to us. I have complained about this hamster wheel I have been spinning around for a long time and I can now safely say that I have experienced something out of the ordinary. I can say that my world is not quite upside down, but a little tilted.
The movers where late because our driver was sick, causing more anxiety. Our house won't be ready until 2/1. I missed my 1st job interview with Arkansas Dept. of Human Services because of the delay. I had to pack everything that we will need for two weeks and able to fit into 2 tool boxes on the back of the truck. But that's ok, we'll have some new bathroom floors, new doors and it'll be good as new. We do have the luxury of being in a mountain cabin in a nearby town until then, with a living room, 2 bedrooms and a kitchen - and a hot tub. Better than a hotel room with 2 kids and my darling husband.
We are blessed beyond measure and continue to praise His name. Stress is high, blessings are good. Ready for next weekend - when we can relax, explore and learn about this place we will call home. I think when Daniel gets off work I want to go to Oklahoma, because.. well. I can. :)
Thank you to Daniel's mom and dad for fostering our sweet, sweet smilin' Sam. She is adjusting well to life on the farm. I know that I wasn't the best owner a dog could of asked for, didn't play with her as much as I should have and if you've seen her lately - you know that she needs a good grooming. But I sure do love her. When she left with her grandparents, I couldn't stand to watch. I don't want her to think for one minute that she didn't go because we don't love her. So, if you visit be sure to tell her that we miss her and that we love her.
