God Answers Prayers.
So, recently, I came to the conclusion that moving into David's apartment was really only a positive situation to David. We were going to kick Sam out for upwards of two months, just to have privacy, and I was going to have to live in the messy ick bachelors pad.
So, with only two weeks til the wedding, I started looking for apartments that might give a two or three month lease(they do exist, I have found) which is something david gave up as a bad job months ago, cause he just wanted to stay where he was, cause it was easy and cheap. I had found some prospects and was waiting for return phone calls, and then over heard at work that one of the previous employees(still a good friend of the shop) was going to Europe for the summer(she's from poland) and was leaving... Thursday. That's tomorrow. There was no way they had not already found a house sitter, so I said nothing. Today, they came into the shop to order some flowers for someone, and we ooohd and aaahd at the new baby, and their trip came up. And I asked. They had found a neighbor to feed the cats, and were paying someone to mow the yard, but would be happy to have a sitter instead, and just pay the kid to mow the lawn, cause he is a friend and needs the money.
We have a free house til we move to Chicago. We just have to pay Utilities. Totally. Its near ETSU, it has a gas(!!!) stove, laundry facilities, and a Monster yard with gardens. And two kitties, one which looks like Hitler. Yup.
Just a point, I had the thought months ago, when I was last housesitting for some other friends whose children I babysit, that what David and I really needed was just to get a housesitting gig for the whole summer, but who on earth would leave for that long? But I thought it anyway, and I prayed for us to have somewhere to live. And now we have a home, be it filled with five year old artwork or not. =D
