More ramblings

As I am sure everyone is so enthralled with my posts, I will give you yet another.
Today I had the final housing inspection. To give you some background, when the woman came for the pre-inspection she told me how nice and clean the house already was. Of course I took that as a compliment because my beautiful wife katie is the man when it comes to cleaning. So I was happy to think I wouldn't have to do any super hardcore cleaning. Which I didn't, but I did clean the whole house, it just wasn't dirty, so it was just touch up work. Last night after telling my buddy Foltz goodbye, I came home and finished up the laundry and mopped the floors. Confident that the house was in better then inspection order......Stinking lady. Not so much. Although she didn't point too many things out, she white gloved me. What's the deal with that? She just inspected my other friend Bladen and took all of 5 minutes at his house. And even if he exaggerated that, it still could of taken 10, 20 minutes? Yeah well my appointment was for 9 am, she arrived just a little before that. Before I knew it ,it was 10:00! And to add insult to injury, the day or two before my inspection I went to the housing office to check to make sure it was ok that I left the mower and gas cans and what not. They said "Sure, mate, that should be fine, no worries, I'll even tell the lady that I told you that." What I should have taken that to mean was "Are you crazy you buffoon, no way can you leave all that junk in your shed, and yes I will tell the inspector lady that you are a big, I say BIG moron."
Anyway, so I did leave the stuff, only to find out that by leaving the stuff there, I greatly offended the inspector lady. Shame on me!
After much tribulation, all was taken care of and now we no longer live on 1110B Birch. It's a great day......eventually.
Now I am happy to relax for a few days and have no worries except for an appointment at Molesworth tomorrow. The weight and stress of this moving are dissipating and now I am much relieved. Happy Days are here again.
Thanks for all of your prayers. I am sure that God is working in this move and keeping me sane and free of over burden.
I love all of you that read this blog, even if I haven't met you yet. See you soon in Texas.

Instead of commenting on how great or thoughtful you are by telling us that you love us, and leaving it at that, I'll be the first one to comment back and say that I love you too. Anyway, I'm glad that most of the stressful days in England are through, now you can finally get to stressing over the days here in the states. I know you are a worrier, it's all right I am too. And maybe I'll see you sooner if you come to California.
