John called me first thing this morning to tell me that not only might the stair rail not be done but that there is a chance that the carpet will not arrive in time to install before this Saturday. This would in turn delay the clean up which our woman contractor knows is very important to me-- ultimately pushing out the completion date into next week.
To say we are bummed would be an understatement. The kids are pretty disappointed too. Big sigh. I knew that this could happen but we all felt pretty confident that everything would get done by Friday and so we planned for the move to be this weekend.
Now we are thinking of pushing it out until next weekend. For so many reasons this is a good idea but for just as many reasons it is not.
I'm trying not to focus too much on it because it is what it is. In the grand scheme of things what difference does one more week make? This is definitely an opportunity for me to practice trusting God's perfect timing.
On a side note, I was joking around with Adam and Caleb and one of them said or did something that made me think of one of my all time favorite lines from the movie Napoleon Dynamite.
"Do you think anyone wants a round house kick to the face while I am wearing these bad boys?"
I love it!

You are so right, Christine. In the end, waiting one more week will not be a big deal, but I know it seems like it today! Thanks for the laugh this morning. That line is so funny!
Hi! I know it is upseting to not move into your new house. But in the Bible it tells that there a time for everything and for some reason the Lord feels it is not the time for the move. At the Urkraine church we attend this week we had the Harvest Festival. A big celebration people come from several states to attend.We ate off the cadilac of plastic spoons and plates. These pieces of fine plastic china were the best that could be bought. After everyone ate everyone tossed out their plastic silverware and plates in the trash. I wanted to save the plastics silverware and plates but the Pastor told me no. As I watched all the cream of the cream of plastic silverware and plates being tossed out my heart sank - I thought what a waste of money.When the women of the church were cleaning up they went over to the food table and took the food from the cheap plastic food containers and saved the cheap plastic serving dishes.That really surprised me. But I quess that the beauty of fine china is in the eye of the beholder.There is a time to save fine plastic china and a time not to save fine plastic china.God allows everything to happen in its own time.Blessings, Pat
Sorry that the move isn't exactly going according to plan, but I know that you know that God's timing is always perfect.
I'm a big Napoleon fan, too. That movie is just too funny.
Um...that wasn't a picture of Starla.
