I find it incredibly hard to believe that it’s been 20 years today since Tammy and I were married. There have been many ups, and probably more downs, but it’s been an exciting ride. I was ridiculously immature for most of those years, and am trying to make up for it a little bit now. I’m thankful that she stuck it out, and hope to make to next 20 MUCH better than the first.
We made it to Playa del Carmen yesterday, and after a terrible wait in the immigration line, we got to our hotel. So far everything is fantastic. More later, and a couple of pictures.
Buying and selling a house is extremely stressful. Anybody that has done it before knows that. But isn’t if funny how easy it is to get distracted by circumstance. Tammy and I had these great reasons for the move. We were prayerful about the decision and felt like we were trying to act in accordance with God’s will. During the ordeal we had lots of different prayers, “Can this please be over?”, “We don’t need a lot of money, just enough to get in the new house.”, “I know God will send the right person in the right situation where this will be a real blessing to them”, “Can this please be over?”.
Driving back and forth to Melissa to take the girls to school everyday got to be really old. Making offer after offer on houses only to have them rejected got really old. Keeping the house in ship shape everyday got really old(We had over 50 showings in our 85 days on the market). Though there was peace on most days about it, sometimes there wasn’t.
It’s funny how when it was all over and we look back on it, everyone of those little prayers regarding the move was answered. When the time was right. We got as much money as we needed. A lady in the middle of a divorce who needed a house in the same school zone as her elementary kids came along, a house in Melissa came available at a serious discount, and others. It was definitely one of those times of faith building where it seems like God just seems to be shaking his head and asking you, “When are you going to realize once and for all that I’ve got this covered?”
