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.
