Well, That Was Easy

Today was the day: moving day. We moved all of our storage stuff yesterday, which took forever. I was definitely expecting today to be even more stressful. This morning I woke up around 6:30. I took a shower, and you know, did general “get ready” type things, which is all fine and dandy. Then at 7:30 I left my house to pick up my friend Arkadiy, who lives waaay out. When I finally got to his house around 8:15, my mom called and told me that everyone had come to the house by 8 to help out, and that they were “flying” through everything, and to hurry up and get there. By the time I got to my house, everything was almost done. All of our furniture and basically all of our boxes were loaded. In fact, I don’t think I personally loaded anything…oops. The people we had helping us worked so hard, that we had our entire house, furniture and all in a matter of 45 minutes! That’s insane, seeing as it took us five hours just to do our garage yesterday.

Towards the beginning of this week, when we were just finding out that we were going to be moving this weekend, we figured out that we were gonna need to ask some people to help us out. We have really heavy furniture, and mom, Gabe, and I weren’t gonna be able to lift it all by ourselves. So I asked around, and mom asked around, and we found some people to help us out. Actually, we found a lot of people to help us out. That’s why it went so quickly. Also, even more people met us at Potter to help out than had been at our house. So we were totally set, and it took us a total of two hours, including travel time, to get everything loaded up. It’s craziness. That’s the easiest move we’ve ever had, for sure. So, not only did we finish everything in two hours, we’ve also got half of the house unpacked now. Everything is running so smoothly that I feel like there must be a catch…

That’s not the most exciting thing that has happened recently, though. Yesterday, when I checked the mail, I got my acceptance letter to AIM. I cannot explain how happy that made me. I mean, it’s been my plan to go all along, but now it’s official. I was actually emailing the AIM secretary earlier on this week about something, and she told me that she’d gotten all my stuff in finally about a week before that, and that my acceptance letter was in the mail. I was sooo pumped when I got that email. I took a screenshot, of course. And called my mom, but she was busy, so I texted Ryan. I was just so happy that I had to tell someone. Now I just have to go at raising support with a vengeance. If anyone out there in the blogosphere wants to hook me up with some money I’d be eternally grateful to you. ;)

I’m exhausted from moving this morning, and I really wish I could take a nap…but I have to be at the church to work on some VBS stuff, because that starts tomorrow. YAY! VBS at Alvaton is one of my favorite things…we always have a few nights of VBS which is lots of fun, singing and learning and all that, but then on July 4^th we have our annual fireworks show, and it’s pretty much the best in Bowling Green. Last year we were even on the news. Ha. I really love my church and there is nothing I love more than spending time with my family there. I’m gonna miss them more than anything in the whole world. It seriously kills me that I have to leave them.

That’s all I have time to write for now, so I guess that’s that. <3
