It's funny that sometimes, everything that can go wrong, will go wrong and not only will it go wrong, it will happen within a weeks time.
This week in the life of the Lengels was interesting to say the least. At the beginig of this week it felt like Gods face had been turned from us and now we were forced to endure this thing called life alone. I got sick on Monday, which in turn prevents the week to progress like it normally should. The visit to the ER is unfriendly to the small pool of savings still intacted. At the beginning of this week we had no place to live as of next month. the apartment complex that we were setting our hopes on denied us. Flat out. No explination. DENIED in big red letters stamped accross our foreheads. We were stunned. The poor blue honda that has seen more than his fair share of wild life is on the decline which also screams for cash. along with fast approaching bills and purchases. Beginning this week, jobs were hard. Balance was hard. Relationships were hard.
Good thing this week is coming to a close! And with that i say CHEERS! We found an apartment as of yesterday, It's big and beautiful, better than our previous goal. Its cheap and its perfect. We say to ourselves there is no way we could have done this without God and as i would normally shy away from statements so bold, i will not hesitate to thank God for getting us through this week in one piece. Job issues are on the mend and attitudes have been changed.
We are both on the way to physical and emotional recovery from this draining week.

Elyse,
I am glad (random: I explained the word "glad" to my family today) that you (and Ben) got through this week.
New apartment. Crazy. It still baffles me that you guys are married and living "adult lives."
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing ya'll over Xmas sometime and hopefully stopping by next Spring (I have no idea how much time I'll have over Xmas break).
Peace.
Yes, not this country can be cool sometimes. (Although extended amounts makes America seem like such a great place... which I never thought I would think/say.)
Yes, I'm up to date on The Office. I illegally download them on a weekly basis. (Although I'll buy the DVDs when they come out...)
