But Then Again, I’m Not Surprised

So congratulate us. With only a week and a day to spare, Jenny and I have found a place to live. To be honest, I truly do think the angels were getting a little anxious that we still hadn’t found a place on our own, that they decided to lend a bit of help. How else do you explain my stroke of inspiration to check a random website for somewhere to live? And how else do you explain the fact that in a whole month, we were the first people to check the place out?

I must give all credit to Jenny, she was the one that did all the work, from setting up an appointment to take a look, making multiple semi-forceful calls to ensure that no one would steal the place from under us, to taking all of our information to the office.

All I did was click on a few links and print a couple of pages once I thought I had found what we needed. I am in charge of making sure that all of our mail gets to the new house and that our utilities are properly transferred, but really, that is just forms to fill out, and if I fail with that, I guess we will be living by flashlight for a while.

A big thank you to all of you for your housing assistance. From those of you who talked to everyone you knew, in search of an open house, to those who called us every time they passed a for rent sign while driving, to even those who offered their house, or notified us of shelters, should we not be able to find a place to live before the end of May.

If I have learned anything from this experience, it is, a house in the hand is worth two in the bush. Always have a place to move into before you decide to move. You are all welcome to join us at our house warming party in a few weeks, and anytime you want to come ride the creepy elevator, feel free.

Anyone want to help us move? Do you know where we could get a truck?

Are you not excited that it is Friday again. With our short workweek, I have been working harder and longer than I might had we been at the office on Monday. I will tell you that I am exhausted. Jenny and I have no real plans for the weekend yet, hoping to get a few non-essential items packed and perhaps squeeze a few games of ‘Trains’ in. To be honest, now that the weight of finding a house is off, I could careless what we do or don’t do.

Sorry, that really is all I have time for today, more on Monday. Thanks for all of your continued support. And a thank you to the angels for everything they have given me.

Wondering when we went back to cold.

As Always,
