No Joke

I just wanted you to know that last night at 9:23, Brent and I got in the car (we were leaving the Willcutt's house) and it was 102 degrees outside!! 102, 1-0-2! and at 9:23pm! I mean what in the world is that about!! You have got to be kidding!

I think it went down to about 97 degrees by the time we got to fort worth. Yeah, I know, it was a real cold front! LOL!! HAHA!!

Ready......Set.......GO!!!!

The madness begins!

We officially move in with Kent and Jane this week!

We started packing on Saturday.

In 100 and something degree weather!

WHAT A MESS!!

(update....the kitchen table is now in storage)

CRAZY!

Dictionary.Com Definition # 10 says that crazy means: "having an unusual, unexpected, or random quality, behavior, result, pattern, etc"

That is exactly how this week has been. Sunday night we were driving home from Alabama talking about two things:
One, our lease is up July 31, so what are we going to do?
Two, we were semi-looking forward to the interview Brent had on Wednesday with the Power Team.

We decided to answer question one on Thursday till after the interview. So, I'm cool with that I can wait 3 days for an interview. It's all good. Seems calm right? Wrong.

Here's what happens:
Monday
1. My co-worker calls and tells me that he talked to church - we will call this church, Church C - and told Church C about Brent and gives me the pastor's email address. Monday night we email the pastor Brent's resume.

Tuesday

1. We get a call from another church - we will call this church - Church A.

Church A wants to know if Brent is still available and says they will call back later this week to set up a phone interview. Okay, that's fine and dandy. Great.

2. Brent gets a phone call from Church C pastor. They talk for an hour and half. This church is amazing!!! The pastor has an incredible heart!! The pastor said he is calling a special committee meeting for Wednesday night and they usually only meet on Sundays. Not to mention he told Brent he would be praying for the Power Team interview.

3. Our friend, Tim, called and he gave our information to a church. We haven't heard from them.

4. Another church calls - Church W - for an high school youth pastor job. The youth minister is coming down on the 29th and wants to meet Brent for lunch.

Wednesday
1. Power Team Interview - let's just say things are not as always as they seem. The Lord confirmed with Brent that this was not the ministry for Brent to serve in. If you would like full details, please feel free to call Brent. :)

2. Church C pastor calls to confirm that they are having the committee meeting and if the committee wants to pursue Brent, they will schedule a phone interview for next week.

3. Church A committee member calls. They want to have a phone interview next Tuesday.

4. Brent's resume is on the school's website, Church L pastor gets his resume and emails Brent to get good times to call and to see if Brent is still available. Brent responds yes and gives times.

Thursday (today)
1. The Power Team calls and offers Brent a job. (shocking!) Brent turns the job down.

2. Church C calls! The committee would like to move forward and schedule a phone interview next Wednesday.

3. The pastor of Church L calls and he and Brent talk for a long, long time. This church is also amazing and the pastor also has an incredible heart!!!

4. We go to our mentors and have a great time and ask about having multiple interviews - if that is okay or not??? What is your opinion?

5. We get home from our mentors. There is an email from the pastor of Church L wanting to know if we can come and visit the church for a weekend in August. WHAT!?!?!?

So. That is our week. We thought it would be calm, one interview, two decisions. Wow, how differently it turned out! And it's barely Friday!!! Oh, and we decided to move in with some friends that have been offering that to us for months. Even if we go month to month on this apartment, we have to pay 2 months worth of rent. I don't think so. Esp. not for this place.

Tomorrow, Brent and I are volunteering at our church at the Steven Curtis Chapman concert, so that is going to be great fun! :) The concert will benefit the Mid-Cities Crisis Pregnancy Center. Pray for a great night!!!

Well leave comments.
I'm tired and going to bed. Work should not be allowed to start till 9:00, 8:00 is highly overrated!

love.......

A funny thing happened today.....

I had to call our apartment staff to put in a work order concerning the water pressure in our shower.

I love to take showers. For me, showers are good thinking and dreaming spots, plus I like to be clean. They are refreshing. The shower in our apartment is GREAT! I love it! The only shower that can compare is in the Ramada Inn (in Monroe, LA.) that Brent and I usually stay in on our trips to Alabama. They have the most amazing shower head ever!!!

So anyway, for about the past 2 months, they keep working on our water. Turning it off and on for about 8 hours during the day. This usually creates low pressure in our shower for a day or so. Also the water does not stay at a regulated tempature. It will go from warm to scalding hot for no reason at all. No big deal, but since it kept happening I thought maybe it was something wrong with our shower head. So I called today to ask them if they can check out. She says sure, he'll get to it when he can. Well he evidently had time to get to it today, because tonight when I took a shower instead of the wonderful, waterfall we normally have, the water comes shooting out of the shower head bolting down on you as if it is trying to poke in little holes all over!!! All of sudden Niagara Falls has made a detour to Texas and managed to land in our apartment!! It's freakin' hilarious!! Brent and I were laughing like crazy, he knew what would happen about it b/c he took a shower before I got home. Our maintance man really wanted to make sure that we had plenty of water pressure!!

So if you would like a free acupuncture treatment feel free to come take a shower at our place!!
