Attachment
Why is it that we get so attached to things as humans. People, animals, houses...I've only spent the past 8 years (more like an actual 5.5 years) in this house and the thought of not coming home to it breaks my heart. My parents only recently put it up for sale, and the first nibble ended up being the last one. They have until the end of June to be out. Honestly, I love my house. And I don't doubt that God is taking care of my family because He has never failed to in the past. Also, our house in Illinois was on the market a year and a half before it sold and I remember what that did to my parents. Maybe short and swift is better in the long run. Who knows. I just know it's gonna be weird to go visit home in Wautoma and not go to my house. Please pray that God blesses my parents' finding a good home to move into and that their faith and trust in God's plan stays strong and firm throughout this entire process.
On top of this house thing, I found out my dog (well, the family dog) is dying. She has heart worms, and there is no way (at least not a reasonably priced one) to treat her condition. As much as she can get on my nerves, Lady has always been a good dog and I will miss her a lot. For some reason, without even thinking, it's very easy to make our way through life forgetting that everything else will pass away, everyone will meet their maker, and everything has its time and place. As much as attachment seems to stink at this point, I wouldn't trade pouring my heart and love and passion into things for the world.

Bittersweet. :-/ As far as house selling goes, it's hard to beat that...I can't say the same for the home losing part, though. If they're looking for some tree and landscape work on the new place, lemme know. ;-)
Thanks, Nick, I'll definitely tell them to keep that in mind. :) Do you really make trips all the way to Wautoma?
Wherever the work is at. Stevens Point and beyond, but very rarely. In those cases, the crew gets a hotel and works all week. I'm still hoping we get flown out to Baltimore for one of our customers... :-)
