The Waiting Game

Still no news about a job, but the holiday was only yesterday. We expect to hear by the end of this week. So, we are waiting. Patiently.

Yes, patiently. Believe it or not, I can be patient. Sometimes. When forced.

We got a wonderful offer to rent a house from some friends. It's not too bad of a commute to where we want this one job, has three bedrooms and two baths, a yard with two citrus trees and a palm tree, includes all appliances (even the washer and dryer and the microwave), is close to schools and parks, has good, central a/c, and the roof is only like five years old. Oh, and it's totally within our price range.

The only drawback is that it's some friends that we were looking forward to hanging out with. She is also a flute player, so it would have been nice to have someone to play duets with again. Oh well. By the time they move back and want their house back, we should be in a position to buy our own. I told Mr. Universe that I don't even have to think about it. Let's do it. So now it's up to him. We can hang out with these friends when they move back.

I'm ready and willing to move. Wish we had some definite offer.

Still waiting. Patiently. Really.

I'm on pins and needles with you! You're right, it's too bad that you can't hang out with them, but their opportunity is an exciting one, and it allows you such a wonderful situation -- free range children and two citrus trees?!

how exciting. I'm so glad they extended that opportunity to you. That was very generous of them. It will really be a nice arrangement and Tempe has pretty big lots so lots of area for your boys to run around. Plus my hubby's grandparents are only a few blocks away! :-D
