Conservative Commentary
My life has changed pretty dramatically in 3 days time.
Shortly after writing my last post I saw three roaches in my house and called my landlord to let him know. I probably wouldn't normally call for something like that but he told me to call whenever we saw one so they could spray.
When I talked to him he let me know that his wife offered to me and my roommate their guest room so we we didn't have to sleep in the fumy house while they painted.
We took them up on their offer, drove 3 minutes away and found ourselves at their house. His wife greeted us and showed us to the guest house where we could spend the next three days (or more if needed).
A beautiful little house with the most comfortable bed you've ever slept on in your life fitted perfectly with the nicest sheets you've ever felt. From the front window you can see the tennis court and beautiful pool, where we would have unlimited access to. We were handed keys and told to make ourselves at home.
The past three days I have been feed amazing breakfasts on trays by the pool with yummy coffee and fresh fruit. I've lived in my swimsuit and in the pool since its over 100 every day, and have finished two books.
I've been treated to amazing bbq and today went down to Mexico to their favorite restaurant for amazing food.
We also have been given pieces of furniture for our house!! I have a bed. we have a love seat. WE EVEN HAVE A TABLE!
To top things off our landlord knows just about everyone in Weslaco I'm pretty sure and upon hearing how I probably wont' survive until my first pay check, called up the finest italian restaurant in the valley and Anne and I are now employed, with a second job to make ends meat.
While I've felt like i've been listening to conservative talk radio for the past 3 days, but it's been worth it. Blessing after blessing seemed to fall into our laps, and I feel a little bit better about starting my life in the Valley.
It was hard to be positive while sitting eating cereal on the floor with no table and or chairs worrying about money.
I guess I'm still worrying about a couple of things- but worry is worthless, and only action has value.

Sounds like I missed out on quite a vacation at the Thompson residence! Glad to hear you and Anne are employed and that we're accumulating some furniture! I'm excited to come HOME!
