Retired...nope just unemployed

Hola World Wide Web:

We’ve been in the house officially two weeks! It feels like 2 years.  I never really understood what retired people meant when they said that “They are busier now, than when they had a job.”  As a fellow retired person (aka unemployed), I fully agree.  These  two weeks have seen our house having lots of hours of house meetings, painting a room that we not so lovingly call the Smoker’s Lounge (the previous tenets unthankfully smoked but thankfully kept it to one room), visiting almost daily with church members who bring us housewarming items or help us fix things, and learning to share a pretty small 3 bedroom house with 3 other people.  Despite all of this, it’s been really enjoyable. 

This past weekend we went to Brandy’s surprise birthday party (she’s 15 and a dog).  Thankfully, no one spilled the beans and she was surprised although quite apathetic and tired.  Ben made a sweet card that said, “It’s your birthday .... Let’s all PAWS to celebrate!”  :)

Stay tuned for next week’s update.  This week we are welcoming 2 friends of mine from back east, going to a Dr. Seuss version of Romeo and Juliet and a homemade ethiopian dinner! 

Peace,
Jon
