What's Going On...

Well, I guess I better update everyone on whats been going on. Let me just start by saying, please don't feel sorry for us, I am only writing to update my family and friends as to why I haven't been seen lately, or heard from. As most of you all know we moved this weekend. The moving part was great. We had so many wonderful priesthood holders there to help us move stuff. So thank you to all who came to help. We will have everyone over for a BBQ once we get everything fixed. Also the sisters of our Branch made us a few freezer meals to cook while we were moving so that I didn't haveto worry about making dinner, and I really appreciate it, however we still don't have a way of cooking them (which I'll get to in a min) but I'm sure they will taste yummy when we can cook them. Again than you to all those sisters. Your wonderful.

Now on to the rest of the news. Lets see...we have no water, no heater, no oven, no bathroom etc. So you may wonder what we do have. Well not much except for eachother. I located this house over a month ago. We paid the deposit, and then it was to be their job to get it ready for us during this month before the inspection. Well I then made a moving reservation with Uhaul at that time as well. Picking up the truck on Friday at 2pm and Dropping off Saturday at 2pm. Well first off DONT and I repeat DONT do business with Uhaul in Omaha. They SUCK!! This gal didn't speak English very well, called me on Wednesday to ask me to change my reservation times...I told her NO then she got mad and hung up on me. Then on Thursday she called up yelling at me asking why I'm not there to pick up the van. i politely told her it was Thursday and has been all day, she continued to tell me I was wrong, and yell at me. So I told her I would see her on Friday and HU on her. I then called her boss, and told him that she needed a lesson in Customer Service, and that I was afraid if she was loosing days that she might double charge me. He assured me it wouldn't happen, and not to worry. Well gee guess what this lady did...Yup you guessed it..Double Charged me. SO that started me off on the wrong foot. I then went to the new house to get some stuff, and the house was still at 30 degrees. Why wasn't the heater working?? Well you guessed it, the blower motor went out. So it took them till Saturday afternoon to finally fix it, but that it would still be very cold in the house for a while. Yah it was...didn't get up to 70 till about 5 in the afternoon the next day on Saturday when we had everyone moving stuff into our new place. So no one took off their coats while unpacking boxes. Finally it got a little warm, and all of us were able to sleep. Now during this entire time, the water pipes burst in the house, so the workmen were fixing pipes all week long, and even on Saturday and Sunday. Also the stove that was to be delivered to us wasn't, and so they had to scrounge up another one. They couldn't find a gas stove, so they had to wire in a 220 line for an electric stove. The 220 line is a three prong on the stove, and they installed a 4 prong. Idiots!! So now we still don't have a stove, water is still not working, the carpet hasn't been repaired, the upstairs hasn't been painted, the cleaner lady hasn't been there to clean, I've done most of it, and now the heater broke AGAIN last night. I'm getting very very upset, and I don't know what to do. We have put so much work into this, we moved all our stuff in, and so forth, but it is taking a long time. So now we shower at the truck stops, we eat fast food for hot food, and chips and fruit for cold food, and we do laundry at the laundry mat. We have a camping potty we use at home, and we are essentially camping inside. I want it fixed. I'm so tired of it not being repaired. Hopefully they will get water to us today. I'd give anything to shower in my own home!!

Well that is my update, hopefully next week I will have much better news to report. So this is why I have been recluse, and not calling anyone. And to top it off it was Sabrina's and My birthday this weekend, and neither of us had a very good one. Memorable, but not fun.
