Appliances mean I’m an Adult, IProvo means IDiot

Alright, the lack of blogging is due to the lack of Internet service at our house. I called IProvo today to hook up Internet and Cable and here is our phone convo after I have told him exactly what services I want:
a
Me asking politely: “Yeah, so if I sign up for cable and Internet, when is the earliest that you guys can come and do the installation?”
a
IProvo: “Um, let me check for you sir, it looks like…um…lets see-July 10th. That’s the earliest available date that we can send one of our technicians out for installation.”
a
Me utter dismay: “July 10th? …you know that this is May right? July 10th is over 2 months away!”
a
IProvo: “Sorry sir, that’s the earliest available time that we have for installation, did you want me to go ahead and process this request?”
a
Me turning up the sarcasm: “If IProvo only services Provo, why do I have to wait 2 months for you to come connect a couple of wires? There is only about 100,000 people in Provo and 29,000 actual housing units in Provo and even if you only had one tech, if he did 4 installs a day, that’s still over 160 installs in 2 months and there is no way that you have just one tech and that much work. So basically you’re telling me that you guys are SOOOO busy that you don’t have an install date like oh…maybe this week or next week at the very latest?”
a
IProvo: “Sir, I apologize, that’s the absolute earliest date that we have. July 10th. Do you want me to go ahead and process this request sir?”
a
Me hoping she realizes how dumb she sounds: “Nobody in the right state of mind is going to call you up to request your services and wait 2 months for you to hook this stuff up! Comcast installs in 3-5 days max. Have you personally EVER had someone call in and tell you that they want IProvo and then tell you that they will wait 2 months for you to hook it up?”
a
IProvo: “Um, no sir…the wait usually is only about a month or so”
a
Me putting in my 2sense: “A month??? Wow…No! I do not want you to process my request. Please, whoever your manager is, tell them the reason that IProvo is going out of business and losing millions of dollars is because NOBODY is going to wait 2 months, not even 1 month for you to come out and hook up service. You have my information, so if they want to hire me as a consultant to find out why they continue to not sign up new customers and lose money, then I am sure that I can help them see the light! Thanks for help though…cheers!”
a
So I called Comcast shortly after and even though they can’t install until May 16th, even though that is 7 business days away, that is a whole 8 weeks before IProvo could! So basically my loving wife is going CRAZY not being able to blog and not being able to browse facebook! But she’s a trooper and she’ll be alright-so I hope she knows that I tried. hehehe a

So we did officially move into our new home. We LOVE it thus far and its still kinda surreal. It’s weird to go home to “OUR” home. There is so much I wanna do but Sarah keeps me grounded and helps me to prioritize myself and not go full speed in a hundred directions and never finish anything! Adi has had a VERY VERY VERY hard time adjusting to her new environment. She still is such a good baby and so when she really does cry, we know its for a reason. As cute as it may be, we can’t leave her site, we can’t leave her side and if she wakes up and the first thing she doesn’t see is our face, she freaks out and has a cry that breaks my masculine heart (don’t listen to Sarah if she says I’m soft…she BAWLED in the LDS movie Charly!)
aA huge shout out to Jordan who helped us with the loan, Spencer who is my real estate agent zero, my dad and mom who helped us so much with the house and the trailer (yeah we own a trailer whoop whoop!) To Josh, Jaymie, Kat, and Matt for the many hours of help (Matt not so much, but he had class hahaha) To Granny, my expert mover who’s helped my move 3x now he pointed out, Jared for taking a day off to help me move, to B for flexing some muscles, to Matt and Alfreda for bringing over the biggest truck that I’ve ever seen in my life over to help us have a very smooth move.

Unpacking is a very S L O W and tedious ordeal. We’re getting there, but with the renovations we want to do, we’re just not sure how much we should unpack or where to put everything. We did go buy our new kitchen appliances and let me tell you-when you get excited to buy kitchen appliances, you KNOW that your a full-fledged adult. We fell in LOVE with the Samsung fridge and I am very brand loyal and therefore bought the Samsung Microwave (We also bought Samsung because it is a Korean brand and Sarah’s Korean puhahaha). The cherry on the top is the modern fluorescent blue matching display lights on the fridge and the microwave that Sarah and I will probably sit around and stare at all night long until we get our Internet and cable hooked up. The stove is a whirlpool but that matches our washer and dryer, so I can’t complain. I never thought that I would EVER get this excited over new appliances…especially in our nice ugly green kitchen, but here I am, anticipating the arrival of my appliances like a child waiting for Christmas morning-how sad~
