You go Ray Kay!

This title is for my brother-in-law who has TIVO and has agreed to tape my shows for me while I am gone. You go Ray Kay! Actually, I am only going to have him tape Survivor and the last two episodes of Prison Break. We are just so busy, and I know we will busy when we get back as well. I have to let some things go. With Rob & Amber getting eliminated from Amazing Race (Lesley is still in awe of this!), I think I can let that go. And American Idol will probably still be going on when I get back for crying out loud.

Like I said, life is crazy. I am sleeping well thanks to daily Ambien. As I catch up on my rest, we'll start tapering my dosage a bit and see if we can get it back down to normal. Yesterday, I worked a full day at Mayo, and then I came home and did three hours of work for RLSF. Also like I said, there are so many loose ends I want to tie up before I leave.

We also had a spur-of-the-moment dinner with the Jones last night. We went up to do some "condo talk" and ended up bringing up some leftovers and having a quick dinner. Lesley made her BBQ pizza which I LOVE so I was thrilled to be included.

Like I mentioned briefly in yesterday's post (this is working as a good transition phrase for me this post), we have had some people really interested in purchasing our condo. Yesterday we had a family make an offer, and then another offer to our counter-offer. Two of JB's former classmates are also very interested in purchasing it, and another family who looked yesterday seemed very interested. We have not listed it through a real estate company yet. This has simply been by putting the word out to incoming medical students and putting a posting on Craig's List. We are not completely sure we still won't rent it, but we are leaning more and more to selling to help de-stress our life when we move to Florida.

If we are supposed to sell, someone will offer what we want to sell it for so we just have to trust the Lord. Seriously. I mean that. This selling stuff makes me sick to my stomach. I could never live in one of those countries where ever purchase is made through bartering. It makes me very nervous! But ultimately, the Lord is in charge, and if we take one step at a time, He will guide our steps.

March is a HUGE selling time in Rochester. That's part of the rush. This town is sort of unique in that most buying/selling occurs within a three month window as residents and fellows leave and a new group moves in. We would like to know what we are doing before we leave for Nigeria, but if we don't, we are not in a big hurry to sell and can wait until we get back to deal with things. The Lord knows best.

Another exciting bit of news was that yesterday, JB's classmates found out whether or not they matched. They have to wait until Thursday to find out where they matched, but yesterday they were told if they did or didn't match with a residency program. It appears everyone did match somewhere. This was very exciting. Of course, most of them knew deep down that they matched, but it's always encouraging to get the final nod of approval. Thursday will be a big ceremony at the Foundation House to find out where everyone is going. This should be really exciting! Of course, we already know through the military. I'm glad my stomach isn't in knots waiting for that infamous email to come in again.

Oh, and one again ... you go Ray Kay!
