So we’re still getting ready to move (July 31!!) and still not really anything is going on. We have the couches set to be delivered this Friday, so I’ll be hanging out there all day with Shanna.
I have officially been crowned the queen of not quite breaking her bones. Last weekend I almost broke my ankle and had to get an x-ray, and than Friday I slammed my hand in a car door and almost broke my thumb. I had to get an x-ray for that too at the hospital because my hand was swollen and I couldn’t move my thumb or forefinger well. But no. Not quite broken. Thus, I am the queen of not quite broken bones.
So, because of my new title I shall proudly wear, I won’t be doing much moving day. I’ll be at the new house with some of the other wives in my Bible study ground unpacking some of the things I’ll have brought to the house during the week, like dishes, extra clothes and food. The manly men will be getting all the furniture downstairs and into the truck.
I’m kinda joking about that. A big part of the reason we’re going to be at the house instead of moving furniture is that everyone has kids, so they’ll be with us moms playing in Shanna’s room or the backyard. I might bring the small TV and my XBox so the kids can watch movies while we work.
Also the apartment is small and we don’t want to be underfoot.
We’ve got quite a bit packed up already, after this weekend all that’s going to be left is a week of clothes, our necessary toiletries, and food stuffs (and furniture duh). Matt’s clothes will be packed up this weekend because he’s going to Colorado AGAIN!
Just a bit of backstory, Matt went to Colorado for a worksite for the month of March, then we went back for another week in April, and again in May. Then the project was supposed to be done. But he’s going back. Again! And because he’s going back, all of his stuff is getting packed this weekend when he packs up to go, since he’ll be gone for a few days. He’ll just over-pack for the 5 day trip so he has everything for the 2 days between getting back and moving.
It’s gonna suck because I was gonna use out luggage to pack our bedding up morning of. Oh well, I’ll figure it out.
In not moving news (because I’d be sick of it), today is Matt’s grandma’s birthday. Because of all the COVID stuff, we can’t go see her, and he won’t say anything, but I know Matt’s upset about it. We got her a photo album, and I got his family to send me some pictures to put in it. I’m not gonna fill it, because Gram has lots of photos of all of us on her wall, and when she gets new photos of us, she can switch them out of the frames and put the old photos in the album. We’ll have to get her new albums every couple years of course.
I think this might be the hardest part of this whole COVID thing, that we can’t see Gram, and that others whose loved ones are in assisted living facilities or nursing homes or God forbid long term hospital care, and they can’t go visit them.
My Sunday School teacher and his wife are expecting a baby in August, and they can’t bring their other daughter with them to meet the new baby. That would be so hard, and to not be able to have my mom or sister there with me when Matt and I start growing our family. I mean, I love Matthew more than anything in this world, but I get pretty tired of him sometimes and I know I’ll want my sisters there with me after the baby is born, and to not be able to do that.
I really don’t have anything else to talk about right now. Life is super boring right now, it’s all just getting ready to move. Remember to be kind to everyone you meet, and that you are loved more than you know!!
