Been a while…
Well, life has been SO FREAKING HECTIC lately, I’ve forgotten all about you (the 2 readers of my Blog)…
Anyhow, Melisa & I will try to post over the next few weeks to update what kinds of chaos has ensued in our lives since August…
Just a quick run-down, here’s a bullet point list of the things that has transpired…
- Found a house, put in an offer, got rejected, kept looking
- Found another house, put in an offer, they countered, we countered, they countered back & we accepted.
- Had troubles getting Visa for my mission trip to India in Dec/Jan
- Almost lost $400-500 worth of products & rebates for our friends in South Asia (In the middle of moving out of apartment & trying to coordinate shipping/receiving products & departure dates of a team from our church toIndia, etc… Oy…)
- Continued living in Hodge house for a month (can’t wait to get into out own place… I hate being a burden to others…)
- Taven got sick with “the cruds” (sinuses dripping, coughing/hacking, & snot galore!)
- I went to Orlando, FL for a business conference for 3 days
- Melisa dropped Taven off at my parents & joined me after the work was done & we spent a couple of days alone in Orlando for a mini-vacation before the next Smith joins us
- I get sick with “the cruds” when Melisa shows up in Orlando… Pretty similar description to Taven’s above… Ew!
- Closing for our house was postponed From Monday to Friday
- Closing was postponed from 1PM to 2PM on Friday ( I got that call @ 12:30… Gr….)
- Closing papers had Melisa’s name spelt with 2 SSSSsss… Closing papers redrawn…
- Lender hadn’t wired funds yet…??? WHAT!!!?!?!?! It’s 3:30PM on Friday…!!! We wanted to move in this weekend!!!
- Left closing table @ 4PM Friday with papers all signe, but no funding… No moving… So Sad… (no, really… Very sad…)
- Get some rest over the weekend
- Take Taven Trick-or-Treating in my parent’s neighborhood halloween carnival (the weekend before Halloween) as a Fireman (he was a fireman… I was a very boring man in bluejeans & a black t-shirt…)
- Go to work Monday morning to find out work phones are all updated with the new Daylight savings time shift a week early…
- Start fixing phones
- Log onto tmasman.com & type this post…
- I guess I outta get back to work huh?
Byeee

OUCH. Wow. We’re sorry to hear about the last couple of months. Poo-ey. We know how crazy it is to live out of suitcases for a few months but don’t have a clue what it’s like with a kid and another on the way. Let me say it again–OUCH. Our prayers are with you. We’re home now and would love to catch up sometime.
