We are still alive it has been a long month but we are finally starting to get settled. We are waiting for the internet to be set up but my nice friend Kate let me come over and borrow hers! We got here on the 12th of August and signed our contract to move in the next day. Our truck ended up not being here when they said so my family was not able to help us unload it but it was fine because we got to play more instead! It finally came the day after they left and we had some ward members come and help us unload. Well about a week later we had complained because the people below us were really loud their TV was on really early in the morning or late at night and it was so loud we knew what they were watching channel and all! So we complained that Friday and they went and told them to turn it down. Well the whole weekend it got worse we added salt to the wound! So on Monday we complained again and things went downhill fast. They sent someone over that morning and then that night we were sitting on the couch when we hear knocking downstairs, they knocked three times before they answered, well they had sent the courtesy officer over to try and talk to them because they weren’t being compliant to the management. Well about ten minutes later we hear the door slam and then the yelling began the guy downstairs became irate and we heard all sorts of things, we were labeled racist crackers and what not we could hear it all. It was scary I was shaking and crying we were both scared for our lives. We finally managed to get out of the house and went and found a hotel to stay at for the night. The next day we went and talked to the management about it and they let us out of our lease and within two hours we had a new place to live! The sad part was the yelling continued everyday when we were there and I could hear a little girl just sobbing I felt so awful. The next day we had the Elders come and help us and some more ward friends and we got most everything out. The only time in life when procrastination has been good was in this situation because we had hardly unpacked anything. Our new place seems better and we have good neighbors. We finally got everything out of the old place on the first because they are evicting the other people and wanted to give them their notice and they were also pressing charges against the guy because apparently the officer heard it all too! They told Andrew that if he needs to come back to get mail or anything after that to come alone and not bring me just to be safe. We really weren’t trying to make problems we just wanted some peace and quiet at 6 in the morning. It has been an adventure but everything has worked out and we are glad about that. Andrew started school on the 31st of August and is enjoying it but has a lot of work to do to keep up!
We will hopefully be able to post more about our summer and our fun trip out here once we get the internet all set up!
