Good Things Come to Those Who Wait... And Wait...And Wait...

It has been SO hard to sit back let things unfold naturally. Freakishly hard, but we did it. Apparently with enough patience and faith things actually do work out in the end. It really didn't feel like it would for a while!

We have found renters for our current house, friends of Nate's who we are confident will be amazing renters and the perfect answer for our housing crunch (or over abundance?). Of course money is going to painfully tight for the next 12 months, but that isn't anything we haven't survived before. Anyone who has lived exclusively off of $32,000/yr for two people who own a house know that you can do amazing things when you have to.

It also looks like my job situation is going to work out well- exactly how I'm not sure just yet, but I'll definitely have a pay check coming for the foreseeable future. Yeah!

The financial stress of both of these situations has been almost unbearable, so to have these things pan-out well has been a great relief! It finally feels like our lives are falling into place. You know when you get that feeling that everything is just 'right'? That's how things feel right now (or are about to feel). I strive to achieve this feeling in life, so it is very satisfying!

No offense to Tampa, but I'm beginning to really love Orlando. It's a cool-assed town! We have found a great web of friends, there are so many things to do here, and we're still within an easy drive of our families. And Clermont is pretty close to a perfect place for Nate and I to live. It's so outdoorsy, family oriented, and out of the bustle of the city. I know this is kind of nauseating, but I'm just SOOOO happy right now!!!!!!

Well, I'm at work right now and my files have finally finished uploading, so I guess I'd better get back deciphering hand drawn boundary lines that don't overlap properly from page to page....

Have a GREAT and SAFE Labor Day weekend!!!!!!
