The past 48 hours

Wow… in the past 48 hours I’ve:

• Ridden a total of 12 hours in a car
• Covered 12 square miles of seminary town
• Called about 35 realtors and home owners
• Asked the question, “can you tell me about the house?” over a dozen times
• Committed “breaking and entering” at one house (though no real breaking took place)
• Had two home made smoothies
• Been inside 3 potential rental houses (legally)
• Peaked into, probably, 15 potential rental houses
• Gotten into and out of the car, probably, 75 times
• Played with a dog
• Saw a, probably, rabid ratquilrmunk (rat-squirl-chipmunk hybrid)
• Been attacked by a 3 pound dog
• Been nauseated at a very bizarre community where everyone was white, drove BMW’s, and had horses on their shirts
• Been awoken (twice) at midnight by a vibrating phone
• Missed my wife and kids tremendously
• Searched for houses online for 3+ hours
• Gotten a major project covered by a friend
• Worn short sleeves and flip-flops while enjoying 74 degree weather
• Had one really strong cup of coffee
• Spent a lot of really great time with my brother
• Got to spend less, but very enjoyable, time with my pregnant sister-in-law
• Saw a strange house with a LOT of yard art and a mural of a waterfall painted on it
• Felt nauseous on and off (probably stress related)
• AND FINALLY, found the perfect house for my family to live it for the next year!

Thanks to all who prayed for me. It has been a crazy week and next week is in que to be about the same (included in the week is my 30th birthday). I’m currently at the airport and I think I might nap on the flight home… I think I’ve earned it.
