Yeah!!!

I got approved for the apartment. The one I thought I wasn’t going to get into.  I have been lacking internet lately so I have not really been able to write what all is going on.  In any case, we get to move tomorrow.  I have to tell the guy that we are renting the house from now.  I know it is going to bother him, because he really likes us in his house, and has had high hopes for us.  He calls me about Cabela’s (where I work) all the time.  He didn’t charge me a deposit.  He never made me change electric and water into my name.  I am using the internet from the guy next door.  We have had to have the guy with a tow truck behind us help us twice.  I suck!  I am a horrible person for walking out of the house.  I like the guy.  The guy is not the issue.  The issue is the schools here.  My 7-year-old has to walk a mile to school in snow, rain, etc.  The office lady at the elementary school is rude and obnoxious, even the guy who runs the buses said she is a hair stylest and that is where she belongs.  Kind of made me laugh.  The problem is that our house does not have hot water, the washer leaks, the sink in the bathroom leaks, the basement looks like a dungeon.  The problem is we are ranked one of the worst for child predators (let’s not forget my son is having to walk a mile by himself).  I hate leaving, but I can’t stay.  My children are important to me.

I met someone I like.  I enjoy talking to him.  He lives in another state, but could eventually live here.  He is awesome, and tends to think a lot like I do.  He loves the Lord.  Further, he has been through the death of his wife, he understands things that you can only understand if you have been through it.  No matter what we will always be friends.  I don’t think God puts people in your path for no reason, even if it is for just a learning experience. 

I probably won’t have internet for another week or so.  The apartment sets up the appointments, and it is added into the bill.  I only have Sundays and Wednesdays off so I assume it will have to be a Wednesday when they come. 

I almost forgot, as far as the person I am renting from now.  I am going to do his websites for free, and I am going to hook him up with what he wants before the Cabela’s opening.  We do a friend’s and family night just for employees friends, so he will have first shot at guns, ammo, fishing, etc.  Hopefully, this will make him feel a little better about things.  On a side note, my daughter broke a window yesterday.  You just shut doors around here and it seems like the windows will break.  She cut her hand, but is okay.  I told the guy today.  He is replacing it tomorrow.  I will be at work.  

One more thing.  People at work here think I am a manager.  Everyone, all the trainers from other stores and the managers talk to me like I am a manager.  I have not filled them in that I am a normal outfitter like everyone else.  I have been doing everything a manager would do and I love it, and the people treat me with a kind of respect I have never experienced before.
