The phone number thing eventually worked out--after spending 2 hours with the phone company glued to my left ear. Our house number will be re-installed when we move in the new house, and our business number is forwarded temporarily to my cell phone until we move in. And we can keep both phone numbers. Yay!! They found a solution and made it happen.
We did close on the sale of our old house, so now I guess I can make the transition from saying "old house" and "new house". We're homeless for another week. Meaning, I'm not responsible for a mortgage payment. We found out yesterday that paper pushing mortgage documents takes longer than anyone likes, so we won't be able to close on our house until July 31st at 1:00 pm. We'll move in right after that.
We are not, nor do we have to be, homeless. :0) Both dh and my parents live in town, as well as our grandparents so we had plenty of options to choose from. We decided on my parent's house because they have 2 extra bedrooms and 1 extra bathroom for our family to use. Dh's parents have 2 extra bedrooms, but we'd have to share one bathroom between the six of us. Certainly not a bad thing--if we had to do that. We don't, so decision made.
In the midst of this "meantime", we still are doing what we've got to do. I'm at the gym today with the girls, and we have a guest coach. That's another post for another time, because I'm so hyped about who God sent our way!! Dh is trying to work everyday without needing too much info from me because all our office is packed in boxes. He's also doing the sound for our YMCA's play this weekend "Back to Mayberry 2". Tonight is his final practice, but that has proven to be a looonnnggg one. Needless to say, he's not getting all his sleep.
Moving + Sound engineer + Too Little Sleep = Tired + Stress
Not a good equation. Sunday afternoon will be spent sleeping, I'm sure :0)

I knew it would all work out. I'm so excited for you, God's making your path so clear! I hope that the stress doesn't make ya'll cranky... it does us :)
I'm so glad it is all working out! There's always something in buying and selling a house - times two! I'm impressed the phone company found a way to make things work - we don't always have good luck with them or the utilities (especially the cable company). But I am so glad you've got a comfy place to stay and are gearing up for the new house. Very exciting!
Take care :)
Yay for phones!! Double yay for beds!!
Praying for peace & rest.

Glad things are working out for you. And what a blessing to have had two places to choose from in your in-between phase :)
Moving twice is painful, but it will all be worth it once you're all settled into your beautiful new place.
Hope Daughter is now excited about the fun new changes in her life!
Enjoy Sunday's long nap, and the lull in-between before all the moving and unpacking -- a little rest before a lot of activity. These will be good times in retrospect -- making a new home for your family.
I'm glad it all seems to be working out! It's a lot of red tape at times and hard work, but soon it'll all be worth it...and yay for having a place to go. That in transition/homeless thing can be hard!
Sunday afternoon nap will be here soon!
Wow, you have a lot going on. I hope your snoring in your new house by now. I'm sure you must be exhausted.
