Erik's last day at Dell is tomorrow. His work buddies took him to lunch and happy hour and he's already cleaned out his desk for the most part. He's getting 50 calls a day from people in Dallas wanting to consider him for positions. He'll really start calling them back on Monday and this job thing might happen pretty quickly. I just pray he finds the right one...temporary or not. So it turns out that the builder that interviewed Erik is doing so badly that the guy who interviewed him (and who had just started his job, by the way) quit because the money wasn't coming in to pay contractors. We're just going to have to wait this housing slump out for a while. We might even be able to find cheap, local labor to build our "spec" house since biz is bad. The lake is so full right now that it looks like the 4th will be a bust, at least as far as boating and picnicing goes. Pretty crazy. Well, it seems that all the waiting is just about over. I have my loans, my book list that I really won't need, even my big sib's name. We've paid our last month's rent and gave notice...we just need a truck and some guys with really big muscles. We found a great place near Nana - really neat people, I think. I really feel like God just opened the door on that place...just a took a little convincing to get us through the door ; ) VBS is coming to a close, and, like I told Nichola today, I feel like our friends have already written us off. Not in a mean way, just a natural, you're not around much any more and you're leaving, so we'll all just move on kinda way. We'll see all the really good friends one more time before we're out. One more time seems really sad right now. I am the worst at goodbyes.
