  It's a wet and rainy Wednesday - probably redundant to say, but anywho. It's been a while since I have been able to blog (about five days) but I've been busy while trying to sort through the notion that Cassie and I didn't/aren't getting the house we wanted. It's not because we don't qualify or we can't afford it - it's because we put our bid in on the house about five hours too late. Cassie and everyone else say that things happen for a reason and if we were meant to have that house we would have got it.
I don't buy into that philosophy, of course I don't like to think of myself as cynical and that "Everything happens for a reason.." Sunday, my folks came down and we showed them the house....the part that sucks the most is that Cassie and I spent a ton of time the past week looking at houses - about 8 - and finally found the one we liked. Prior to that Cassie and I had probably looked at every house that's on the market....It's so stressful that you dread after to clean the board and start all over again.
Nevertheless, that's what we're going to have to do and it really SUCKS. Saturday, I went back home for the 3rd Annual Ditch-to-Ditch run - it's our radio show tribute to the River-to-River...That was a good time, although I didn't do much of anything else while I was home. I saw a couple of buddies and I ran into my old football coach. We talked for a quite a while about a bunch of different stuff. He's a very spiritual person and has a lot of insight into things. Or at least he seems too! Coach Martin has always been somewhat of a hero to me. He's not full of himself and he respects other people. He's a very good family man and for whatever reason, no matter where he goes he earns the respect of everyone around him.
Cassie is thinking about going to St. Louis this weekend to see her friend Sarah - I'll probably go home and hang with the posse while we watch the NFL Draft. But that's my only desire to go home, unless the weather is nice and then maybe I can go golfing - although I doubt the weather will hold up.....it never does when I want to do something!
