My last post was rather glum. That's because that is exactly how I was feeling at the time. Am I still disappointed my request wasn't granted? Sure. But I know enough to know that that must mean God has something better in store for me so I press forward.........
I made beef enchiladas Sunday - and not with my soybean substitute I've fallen in love with since January. No....I needed real fat.
To update about the move....the plumbing fixtures are still not in. They were ready last Thursday, but the plumber was out of town and so they should be installed this week. Today is Wednesday so we'll see. The driveway process has begun. I didn't know it would take this long. We finalized our back splash materials for the kitchen last Friday. I picked out carpet Monday. Yesterday the entire family (including Waby) worked to clean "gook" off the windows. It was hot. We're still waiting on electricity to be on so we could have at least used the ceiling fans. But it wasn't too bad. We took an ice cooler filled with bottled water and juice bottles. The windows at the back of the house were up and there was a nice breeze coming through.
Waby started out sleeping, but eventually woke up to be greeted with exclamations of "Put that down! Get out of that water! Come back! Don't put that in your mouth!"
We went to the post office yesterday to get keys for our "neighborhood mail box" as I call it. All of the mail gets delivered to central locations and residents have keys to their individual boxes. A rep from the post office brought the keys to the house after our visit. I don't know if that's standard post office operating procedure or just down-home, good customer service. At any rate....I was impressed and giddy. The keys held by the twins are the keys to our box and they were very excited as well!!!
