And the Lord thy God shall lead thee

Well, if the fact that we actually can move around our apartment now weren't enough, Maren ran into our old neighbors from our hobbit hole apartment and found out another reason that our most recent move was divine providence.

The story goes that after we moved out, another couple moved in, and then moved out again, at least temporarily. More specifically, within a few weeks of moving in, the shower drain got backed up. This resulted in sewer water spilling out into the apartment and turning it into a 3 inch deep pond of sewage back fill. Since much of our storage was under the bed and near the floor, we feel very grateful that we weren't the tenants during the great flood of White Gables. We also are glad that we only had to move once instead of move in, move out (with the stuff that wasn't ruined), and then move in again. Overall, we are very happy with how things worked out for us and hope that this experience doesn't kill the new couple so that it will make them stronger instead.

I suspect that you may be a little longer hearing from the Galveston people. I'm glad that you got out of there before Ike decided to be a bad boy.

Hmmmmm.... Maybe Galveston isn't such a good place. Rochester is sounding better and better.

But I know that you'll go exactly where the Lord wants you to, just like your Dad and Mom did.

We love you, Joseph. Take care of you and Maren.
