This is not going to really be a blog of any importance I don't think. I just felt like writing.
I feel like I have been waiting FOREVER! Don't you hate when you order something on-line that you really, really, really, want and you think "Man, it should be here by now..." and then you realize you just ordered it yesterday...after the offices were already closed. It makes for a VERY long wait. I ordered a whole bunch of things from Deseret Book (which I've decided is my new favorite store). Because EVERYTHING in there is good...which also makes it not a good thing too though, 'cause then you want to order EVERYTHING. I got a bunch of things that will work wonders for Family Home Evening, and some things that are made for keeping your kids quiet in Sacrament Meeting (That will be well worth the money if it works, and if it doesn't it should still work for FHE). We forgot about FHE last night so Jon says "Will it be alright if we just sing a bunch of Primary songs that Topher knows?" ('Cause everything that I could just throw together I needed to make some copies and I forgot to buy ink the other day when I went shopping...well, I remembered, I just forgot to see what kind of ink I needed before I left). So we were singing songs and after we had our closing prayer Chris was going through my bag of all the Primary stuff I've accumulated through the years. And I had put the "BOM stories in there with them." I don't know what they are really called, they are those cut outs in the "Friend" that are really awesome! I am so glad that my Aunt Tamina showed them to me (that was a big reason I started getting the 'Friend' - which I should have been doing already I suppose). So we had a "Speed FHE" after the songs. Chris went through and we told the story of the strippling warriors, Joseph Smith and the brass plates, Jesus comes to America, Lehi in the wilderness, King Benjamin, and about 5 others...all in less than 15 minutes. I found out that I need to "brush up" on a few of my scripture stories. But it made me all the more excited to get all of my Deseret Book order. Which feels like I have been waiting for years for, but really, it will be a week on Thursday...uhhhh.
So we are still job hunting. We are trying to decide what to tell our landlords. They know that we are losing our job at the end of this month, and they put out an ad to rent our house....they've been really good about all this. We had some people looking at the house yesterday, they seemed to like it. They had talked about selling the house, but since they found some people that might want to rent it, they are going to go that route first, which is a good idea, that way they still have some income to fix the things that are wrong with the house that they would have to fix anyway in order to sell it. I told Jon that we could move into a motel with a monthly rate or something and then put our stuff into storage . Apparently there is a possibility of a job here in Pocatello. I don't know how likely that is or if it is something that he needs more work experience to get. I suppose we will just play it by ear. I just feel bad that our landlords have been so good about all this and I don't want them to lose money. But if we stay they will be losing money on the for rent add. Because who is going to be looking for a place to rent and not want to move in until May? Not a lot of people. But if we move into a motel and then find out we got the job here in Pocatello, then that was just a needless move. And I really don't like moving and packing. So, here everything is up in the air. We may be moving at the end of this month or next or we may not be moving until May. It's really hard to pack when you don't know how much to leave out because you don't know how soon you will be moving. If we have to temporarily move into a motel we can at least pay with my credit card that gives us rewards for staying at motels, then it would be like getting free things for paying "rent". Well, I'm sure that whatever happens it will all work out for the best. I wish that Ranee' (my cousin) wasn't having to deal with this too, but it was kind of nice having someone to talk to that understands what it feels like to have to move after you thought you were going to get to stay put. It kinda sucks...it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't like Pocatello, or if the church here were like the church in Missoula....but I do like it here, and the people in this ward are so good, it feels like leaving family. But it will all work out I know.
