Who's this mopey Moperson?

Imagine my surprise.  I didn't think anyone really read these anymore.  I got a call from a dear old friend the other evening checking to see if I was okay.  I guess if you read this blog lately you'd think that.  I sometimes write when I'm upset.  While still valid feelings, I see where it would cause alarm.

Update time.  I've been praying constantly and my prayers have been answered.  I know it wasn't just my prayers either, and I thank everyone for doing so on our behalf.  Lee got  a new job.  He just started on Monday.  I hope he will be happy there.  I've had a little bit of a hard time reading his reaction to the work.  Could be newbie anxiety or that there is a modicum of confidentiality to the work.  Maybe I'm the anxious one.

Our refi went through.  It only took 7 months and 5 days.  Yes, that long.  It was literally dead in the water and somehow came through.  Oh, and we got an even better interest rate than the one we locked in initially.  I suppose I should mention I was praying about this too.

Mark got his Eagle project!  He's gotten all of his signatures and now it's a matter of him gathering support, some funds, and a legion to carry it out on July 27th.  He will be helping out Noah Webster School on a couple of projects they need done prior to school starting in the next month. 

I have this theory of threes.  You know how people say bad news comes in threes?  Silly superstition really, but I think there is slim truth to it.  I've just given an examply of three good things that have happened.  Within a week, mind you.  I had texted a couple of friends that the next thing that happened would be bad.

Well, it was.  The IRS sent me a nice letter saying that they wanted $500.00 more to account for one of our deductions they were disallowing.  I have until the 29th of this month to pay that.  I think it's funny in light of their scandal.

Maybe next time I post, I'll have a funny to share.  ;)
