she looks the way I feel


My husband took a week to fast and pray and ask God to send a renter for our home, so we could begin eliminating financial constraints here and get to Hungary sooner. That week a single mama, whose kids were already enrolled for the fall at our neighborhood school, came and looked at our house. She submitted an application on a Thursday, called Friday and was approved, wanted to move in MONDAY. After taking many deep breathes into a paper bag I asked dear husband to please warn me next time he is fasting and praying. apparently it works...

So as C R A Z Y as it sounds, it actually is possible to move a family of 5 in two days. Its helpful if you have amazing extended family that have made major renovations to their home to accomadate you and yours for the next 4-5 months. Its super helpful if you remember where you packed your bras and shaving razors, but it turns out being braless and hairy for one weekend isn't so bad. Well -at least from my standpoint. My new bunk-mates may have a different point of view.

If you'd like to learn more about how to get us out of the US and to the field in Hungary by early 2011, go to Budapest Alive.
