Be Careful What You Ask For

Warning!! If you are a negative person you may not like this post.

Holy Cow. I cannot believe what has happened in the last week.

Let me start at the beginning.

A few weeks ago it became evident that I needed to be closer to my Mama. So.....I decided to resign my sales job and move back up north. I posted for a job. 2 hours after receiving my resume they called. I was in Illinois for an interview within the week. The position was back in metal, and within a reasonable drive to keep tabs on Mama.

A week later I was asked back for a 2nd interview. I drove back up and interviewed. 2 days later I was told I would be getting an offer. I did. The next day. It was good. No...it was great. So I took it.

That afternoon I drove around looking for a place to live. Nothing.

Took Friday off and rested. Drove back over today. While driving on the toll road I said a little prayer. I just asked for help. I said I would trust, I just needed help.

I drove to a little town and found a real estate agent. They had 1 rental available. In the most beautiful little town you could imagine. In one of the most beautiful areas I have seen in a long time. It's a very small duplex with a huge yard. Dog? No problem. And the best thing is the rent is so low I can save up for a bigger place in no time. AND the landlord said I can stay for as long as I need to and when I'm ready to move to a bigger place he can help me find something.

It's everything I need and a lot of more what I want than I can say. Small? Oh Yeah. But..it's a good start.

I move in May 6th.

So.....be careful what you ask for. :-)

I'm gonna rest now.
