Miracles!


Miracles happen! So this past week we found out that we got into on campus housing...which we were SO excited about. But then we found out that it wasn't until Sept. 10, which was still great, besides the fact that we were moving out of our house in two days, and once we told our new landlords that we would only need their place for 2 months, they quickly changed their minds and dropped us. It was a little strange because they were the ones that originally wanted a month to month lease..I am pretty sure 2 months would fit in that catagory...but oh well. So this was going to leave us homeless for 2 months. We were looking everywhere for housing and everything kept falling through. We were starting to get discuraged and were considering flying me back to the mainland with the girls while taylor lived in a tent. This was our last option left. I ended up talking to a good friend of mine, which led her to giving us a name of someone that might be able to help us out. We emailed him, and within 24 hours we got a notice that we could move into on-campus housing next week(just so you know, its never that easy)!!! What a relief, if anyone has any idea how much money that is going to save us, not to mention we won't be homeless!!!!!!!! Pure bliss is what we feel!!! I really do know that Heavenly Father takes care of us, and is completely aware of our situation..even when we think all is lost, and there is nothing that will work out...it somehow always does. So anyway, like I said, we moved out of our house July 1st, and today is the 8th, so you might be wondering where we are right now. Well we did find one place to sub-lease on TVA housing until July 13th...the same day we move into our new place. The only thing with sub-leasing, the owners leave everything in it while they are gone. So all of their stuff+ all our entire house = hoarders! I know what you are all thinking, we need to be on the next episode of hoarders. Well let me tell you what, I am going CRAZY living in a house that looks like this. But we have no where else to store all our belongings. So our 2 bedroom apartment we are sub leasing is more like a 1 bedroom. Needless to say, Madilyn and Eliza got the room, Taylor and I got a blow up mattress in the living room. Haha what an adventure as Taylor likes to say! I wish I was as positive!
So what do you think?? Horrid right? haha, oh did I mention the family we are sub leasing from the husband makes surf boards...which would be the reason half the room is taken by their stuff. Oh well, its really not the end of the world, its kinda funny looking at it now. And if you were wondering about all our big things like couches, tables, desks etc....they are sitting in a old rundown greenhouse where I am sure every critter on this island is making it their new home. Trust me, another thing we had no control over...and I try hard not to think about it. But we are going to toss the couch, since they have them already in our new place...as for our other furniture...there is clorox wipes right?? Ahhh, I need to stop thinking about it! Anyway, we are super grateful that we are getting in next week. God is so good to us, we feel so blessed!!! Yay for not being homeless!!!!
