For Better or For Worse

Just as promised, the past week has been pretty hectic. I made it through my next to last round of exams for the semester. While I was taking my MFT, my nephew Cael was born, luckily we got to make it up to Iowa this weekend to meet him.

It was a good weekend, and probably my last trip to Iowa for a while, so that is a relief. Not that it's a terrible place, but I'm more excited for Tim and I to start our new life together.

Unfortunately, part of life together is taking the good with the bad. A pipe burst in our apartment while I was gone, so we will be dealing with the inconvenience of a gutted kitchen for most of this week I guess. Right now we have three industrial fans and a dehumidifier going in the kitchen, it's the equivalent of living in a wind tunnel. But with the bedroom door shut it isn't too bad. I'm just hoping we won't have to put up with it for too long and we will be compensated for our inconvenience. Especially since our electricity bill will be significantly higher because of these fans running nonstop, but also the hours of cleaning out the kitchen I did tonight and the many many more I will be doing this week.

As you can see, part of our ceiling is torn out and our stove and refrigerator moved out of the way to dry out the water damage. Tomorrow they will likely be tearing out more of the wall and the cabinets. So I spent a good part of the evening taking everything out of the kitchen and into the living room. On the bright side, this gave me the opportunity to start sorting out our stuff for the garage sale. Thus, the moving begins.

I'm hoping we will have an apartment lined up by the end of next week. I also will be officially accepting my offer to go to San Bernardino. So it's for real. We're getting out of here...
