Man it sure is funny how things work out, here's a brief recap of what has happened in the past week. Dan and Donna sold their house in Glendive in just five short days, with a moved out date of the 22nd and no where to go, just before leaving to come to Missoula and pick out a house to make an offer on they find out due to loan closing time they have an extra few days and don't have to be out until the 30th, find out their favorite house in Missoula is about to be pulled from the market, look at five more houses on Friday including the favorite, nearly have their son-in-law miss the chance to look at the plumbing in the favorite house because of his stupid new toy:), made an offer on the favorite and headed home with fingers crossed, agreed on a price before they got back to Glendive, set a tentative move in date of the 1st, officially not homeless anymore!
Whoa! My head was spinning for them and I was witnessing this whole thing unravel from the outside! All I know is it has been quite a week and I know that it will continue to get more hectic as the move progresses, with a huge garage sale in the works, and the actual move. But I know it will all work out just fine in the end, it always does. As soon as they left, Kel and I were talking about all of the fun things there are to do with them when they get here, we can't wait! I know it's a bitter sweet deal for them but I think in the long run they won't regret this move at all, especially when Dan's reeling in a 20" cutthroat from the Bitteroot, or when Donna only has to go twenty minutes to have lunch with her daughter! Even if the next few weeks are as hectic as this last one I hope they all have a similar result!
Remember, sometimes a little speed bump in the road of life is just what we need to realize we are not traveling alone!
