...Isn't going to be as much of a move as we had thought. Benjy has the option of a free, live-in academy. We spent all of yesterday looking for a place to live and found nothing. No one wants to rent to people with a baby or people who want a month to month lease unless they get all of our money plus some. So we decided to take the live-in academy approach. This originally meant that I would be staying in Tonopah alone but this is no good. You see, when we moved into our house it was a disgusting disaster. We seriously didn't even unpack anything for two days just trying to get the place clean and cat hair free. Even after the two days there was alot to clean but we unpacked anyways. When the cleaning was done and the cat urine smells remained (along with broken blinds and windows) Benjy and I had a chat with the realtors about sanitation and loosing their awesome renters because of it and the cleaning bill we would be sending after we left. This has resulted in half rent for two months while we are gone along with completely new carpeting, windows, and some blinds all being installed while were supposed to be in Carson City. This means I can't live there the whole time Ben is gone. The solution? Benjy will be living at the academy while Rees and I invade the "villa" (which they call Jeff's old room. Long story, just go with it). Thank goodness for parents taking care of their inept kids, huh? Even though I can still erked about the whole thing, I have remembered what a huge blessing all of this still is. We are SOOOO GRATEFUL for this job. We still think it is going to be a great opportunity and we are really happy about it. When my family gets to be together again in two months, I will be even happier about it.
Once again, disclaimer on the proof reading. I'm on the Library computer and have to hurry.

I know exactly what you are going through, well for the most part. Zach had a 14 week academy in Salt Lake and we lived in St George. He could live up there at the academy but there was no place for me and I was pregnant with Olivia so I did the same thing and stayed at my parents. It hard to be away from your husband, but so worth it in the end. Especially if they are doing it for a job they like and the job will be good for the family.
Oh man, what a pain in the neck! I'm so glad they were willing to fix the place up though while your gone. It will be so fantastic once you return. Good luck to Benji in the Academy. Yeah for him!
Oh my gosh, you are seriously such a trooper. Thank goodness this is all just temporary and soon life will settle down. Good luck to Benji and it will all be worth it soon!! It will just make a good story to tell your kids when they have trials.
Wow! Crazy! We miss you guys! Tell Benji good luck and to be TOUGH!! :-)
Wow! What an adventure. I am glad things are working out, but good luck. I hope that the time goes by fast and that you can be together soon.
