Jeez O’Pete, I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard in my entire life. I was a manual laborer at one point in time for a concrete construction company, but we got two days a week off then.
Seriously though, getting the house ready is a big job. Fortunately, some of the pressure is off. We’re not selling, a friend of a friend is renting from us. Renting as opposed to selling has its downsides, but it has the major up of giving us until the day we vacate to finish all of the work the house requires.
More time is great, because next weekend we’re going to Michigan, and the week after that I’ll be in Wichita for the KSO Summer Games. Shortly thereafter we’ll be on a plane, where I’ll think about sleeping, but will instead probably be finally finishing Snatcher, then we’ll be at a hotel, our temporary home until we get an apartment, and I’ll sleep for 12 consecutive hours if at all possible. Then begins the culture shock.

Renting, eh? Good luck! How much are you charging for rent? Just curious about the price difference between Pittsburg and Lawrence…

$400/mo, utilities not included, for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, hardwood floors, fenced back yard. Pets okay. (We’ve already got a renter.)
Almost makes living in the boonies look like a good idea, huh?

The excitement grows! Adventures are for the young–but adventuring keeps you young!?!? And time slows down at altitude, regardless of speed…maybe I need sleep too. I love you guys!
