To Sea,or not to Sea

I am kinda in a pickle.. My husband, Jamus was offered a job in Seaside, OR. And before last week, I never even heard of it. Well he was offered the job on Wednesday making $25-$35 depending on experience. Well we descided to go check things out. So we made some reservations at a beach house and drove up there the next day. So we get in after driving all bloody day (it is a 6 hour drive… but come on, I have 2 toddlers) So, we get in and have NO IDEA what the town even looks like because it is dark. So after driving up and down 101 we finally found a map and figured out how to get to our hotel/beach house (it was a one bedroom, 1 bath with a tiny kitchen. And we crashed for the night. Then on Friday, Jamus went to work and I explored the town with Aadyn and Asher. It was a long day since I didn’t know what to do and the boys had a hard time playing in a room that was 250 square feet! So on the weekend we played, we went to the beach and to the Aquarium. We had fun. We also went out looking for places to live. We seriously had no idea what the town was all about. Like where the ghetto was or the ‘good side’ of town was. So we ended up going to Cannon Beach on Sunday, and we LOVED it. We found a few houses in our budget that we liked. SO we will se about those.
Monday, totally sucked. We descided we were going to leave that day. SO while Jamus was at work, I packed up all the stuff and loaded it into the car. But check out time was at 11:00. And I know the lady would have let us stay longer if I told her the situation. But she wouldn’t get off her phone long enough to listen to me. So I just left. I also had to tell her something else about the beds. Haha, okay Brandy, I know you will love this one. We moved the 2 queen sized beds together (there was like a wall between the 2 beds) and no one wanted to sleep in the other room with no TV. So we moved the 2 beds to make one BIG bed. Well since we descided we were going to leave while I was taking Jamus to work, he couldn’t move the beds back. So, I did. Well it wasn’t that they were heavy. They were just awkward. I am moving the mattress and then the box springs, and then I had to actually move the medal part that holds it up off the ground. And the dumb thing falls apart. I am trying SO HARD not to say bad words. I couldn’t get it back together to save my life. And I was so screwed! SO I just threw the box spring on top and then the mattress and made it look like nothing had happened… haha! I felt so bad! But she wouldn’t be quiet long enough for me to tell her! Luckily, she told Jamus that they move the beds everytime to vacuum under the beds, so I am hoping that they think they did it! haha!! Oops, but what can you do? So, as if that wasn’t bad enough, I had to find something for us to do, in a town I knew nothing about, for 6 HOURS! And it was POURING down rain! Oh lucky me! Jamus finally got off work! And we left Seaside! And it was a long trip home! But we made it in one piece! And I was so greatful to see my house and my dogs!
I guess if this is what the Lord has in store for us, then we will go! We will just look at is as another “Quintana Family Adventure” Woohoo!!
Oh, by the way; Happy Good Friday Everyone! Jesus died for us today, so we can be with Him tomorrow!!
