This morning we were up very early for an appointment at Golden High School. It was cold and it looked like it was snowing in the mountains. While we were inside the school the clouds cleared up and it was sunny. We filled out paperwork on the boys and then they each saw a counselor. The counselors both strongly advised that the boys start school right away. The boys were taken by surprise that is for sure. They do things differently here, but the boys seemed to take it all in stride. Tonight they went to bed early, they were both tired from their first day. Plus the cold weather and the altitude has taken a toll on us all.
After our appointment at the school Mark and I went up to the house again. We decided to make a go of it with the house until we can find something more suitable. This house is not to my liking, but it still is not as bad as the worst house we saw on our house hunting trip in December. Probably the best thing about the house is the location. The kitchen counter top is granite, but the cupboards need a bit of work. The flooring throughout the house is great, but the basement is not finished and the dryer is rusty.
Okay, there is another problem I have not mentioned. Our landlord cleared all the furniture from the vintage house for those tenants and put it in our house. My husband has no idea what to do and neither do I. We have requested that he remove all the furniture. From there we can only rely on God and trust that He has a plan for us. We owe this month's rent on the house, but so far we have not paid as we are waiting to see if the furniture will be removed.
In other news, Mark and I went and got our Colorado Driver's Licenses today. It went quick and easy. It was sad to see a hole punched into my California license. Oh well, we can only move forward. We also bought ourselves a new vacuum (finally...lol). I went for the expensive one because I told Mark, if I can't have the house I want maybe I can have a vacuum I like. Mark put it in the cart. :-)

DO NOT FEAR...you said that you are all afraid...do not be afraid. God is with you, there is nothing to fear. He is your provider. You DO NOT have to pay rent, when they have NOT done what was agreed upon. You cannot even move in because they have not prepared the house for move in. AND you could fight to get your money already put down back! I really think that you need to be strong and stand your ground. Go look for other houses. You do not have to continue with this house IF they are not following through with the agreements. Did you sign a contract? For how long? If it is month to month you can get out of it. If it is for a year...well you may have to live there for a year. But remember you have the upper hand, NOT them. Mark's company has relocated him to CO. Can't he ask them for some advice? Do not walk this alone. And above all ask God what He wants you to do and obey His voice. Keeping you in prayer. In your weakness HE is strong.
