1. There were 3 bad storms this week. THREE! None of them mind you more than thunder, lightening, rain, and wind. But still. They truly sucked the life out of our last few days and its really just a big pain to be having them. I know its summer so that means that there are "summer storms" but still. They came out of nowhere and scared the crap out of us. The first one came Thursdy. Just as we were about to go online in an hour we had a storm so powerful I thought it was a hurricane. The wind was blowing the rain so hard against our building on BOTH SIDES. And the thunder and lightning just freaky. It took away our time at the library so we did Hastings instead just cause we were stuck at home till nearly 8pm. Friday was bad too. It was okay at first then the storm was so powerful we were sitting in Panera and lost power for a half hour that meant no wifi either. As we were about to get up and leave the power came back on but that screwed me up so bad I couldnt recall what to do the rest of the night. The last one was yesterday. Went to visit our friend Deane one last time only to have a storm start 10 mint into our swimming and not stop for nearly 3hrs. The power didnt go out but we were stuck there and got soaked going out but coming back at one point. Yeah not fun. Stupid summer storms!
2. Well Wednesday came VERY good news. Just 2 days after they got our stuff the apartment we'd planned on the second one we got in! Yes! So we are OFFICIALLY moving to AZ. Both Mel and me knew we would be moving it was just a matter of the yes. God was working in this especially how fast we found out. So nervous but excited to finally tell people if they care to know.
3. We are leaving TN in just 2 weeks. Yes 2 weeks. Thats 2 weeks to finish packing, get our job app's filled out, and get going. Its crazy to think in 2 wks we will be on the road again. Even saying good bye to Deane yesterday has left me thinking its still not real. Even as we made truck reservations today it doesnt seem real. Again like CA to TN I am numb to the feeling and it wont hit till we arrive there and start settling in that we have moved again and changed our lives again. Uprooting our family and all we know.
4. Rainbows 8th birthday was on Wednesday. So we went by the river and it was very hot. Was only too glad to be back in the cool car. But we spent lots of time resting. After that I gave her a brand new bed which is LOVED, 2 toys (one from parents), her toothbrush (yet to be used), ice cream (still splitting this up between the days). Anyway I cant believe she is 8 and it made me a bit sad. I suddenly worried about how much time she has left but I believe at least 10 more yrs. Shes my baby I love her so much!
5. The 25th brought two things. A wedding meaning my best friend Deborah that I couldnt be at. And the 1 yr since Michael Jackson died. Wow on the same day too! I recalled MJ by listening to his music and watching my 2 favorite music videos. I wish I could have been at Deborahs wedding. But being it cost too much to fly...cant wait to be closer to her maybe a visit can happen...
This is my second to last time doing this in TN. One more and then my next will be in AZ. Yikes. Oh my. OH BOY.
Every weekend I write down the top 5 things that happened to me from the week it ends on (usually Sundays). Stole/borrowed the idea from author Sarah Dessen. Very fun!

Weekend of June 20th 2010
1. Monday started this week of bad. As in the week was bad most days and rarely not. I dont know why its happening like this but it is. The place we were applying to in AZ well they told us one thing and changed it on us. Instead we found that we couldnt go with them and asked them to send money back to us. Now my parents are willing to co-sign and we are now applying at a new place. We are pretty sure we will get in.
2. It has been one hot week no joke. Most days getting close to 100 or more. And its humid and very little rain so its like insane heat. Really hating all this heat. And its not even Summer yet. Summer begins tomorrow.
3. We finally told our friend Deane we are moving. But have yet to announce it. Even though if anyone reads this and knows me and doesnt know, we plan to leave in 3 wks. Shocking as it is but we havent packed that much and SO much to do its really overwhelming. Has us saying a lot, are we really leaving TN in 3 weeks? Wow!
4. We did the moon pie festival yesterday in Bell Buckle. It was a lot of fun. We also volunteered at the race and it was a blast. Got the cutest shirts ever for free. But only went on 1 hr sleep I was so tired. It was humid it was hot but didnt rain on us. I here it rained back where we live though haha. Oh well :)
5. The pool is OPEN. Yes it is! I am so excited. We will be going back in there starting tomorrow. Its been so hot and its horrible what they have done but I am so glad its finally open again :) Updates and picts sure why not ;)

July 13 2010
1. The pool has been closed ALL week. We finally found out yesterday (Saturday) why. The owners came by and saw the area around the pool the concrete was falling apart cause the foundation shifted (no *clue* how that happened). Either way we cant swim anymore for a while till they fix it. This rate it could be half the summer! We CAN go to the other apartments the manager runs but that means driving, and it recks most of the reasons of swimming in the first place. Biggest suck for the no pool is the HEAT. This weekend alone its been nearly 100* every day Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Tomorrow wont be better. Its really hot and its just like summer to bring on showers. We have gotten them again and not every day though. I love the sun just not the heat blah!
2. My phone is having issues. It has had them since day 1 but I always thought it was me. It wasnt till I saw my parents have nice phones that charge I realized I had a problem. This week when my phone wire stopped working and it started taking me nearly 3hrs to charge my mom called. They found out that my warrantiy expires on the 13th meaning today. So they are sending me a new phone and new battery to see what it truly is and I have to send it back. I have only had this phone 9 months and take very good care of it. So its truly the phone not me!
3. CMA festival and Bonnaro both happened this weekend, this being the last day. I always love hearing about the fest. CMA always brings back memories as my 2 mint report for CSB was doing for the CMA fest in 2008. We were so glad to have nice weather, that burnt us a bit but not too much. Love the CMA fest always even if I have never gone to a single concert.
4. Moving news: We sent in our apartment thing for Arizona yesterday. Its official. I mean not yet, but I know its gonna work out. God is working in the details. But I am just impatient to get our new address for job applications. We finished calling the jobs this week, and as of today I have all the job apps I will be getting in person. Now if we cant print them online (or apply online) we have to take resumes with us and drop those off so we can give something to some jobs we want to get but cant apply for. I have packed 3 boxes so far. Mel has packed about 6 but some are mine so thats like 2 her, 4 me (If thats the number). I also did start going thru my mags. I really truly need to get a start on this one as its 4 weeks from today that we will be driving away from TN For good!
5.I'm thinking about doing that Oprah thing where she is going to pick someone to do their own talkshow. The thing is I dont know exactly if I have all it will take to get it but I am looking forward to that slim jim shot. I would love a chance for my own show, something for me to grow into. It would really rock my world. Wish me luck! Will post a url if I do send it in but I gotta send it in soon.
