"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Jilted

It's kind of like this:

Say someone proposes to you, then they DISAPPEAR.

That's what it's like.

Don't worry, it's not like they pretended to marry us or anything.

You're confused? Me too.

There I was, thinking I was signing a lease. But no reply. No reply. No reply.

No, we didn't pay any deposit, we just got dropped for someone else. I guess. Really, I couldn't say, since there is no reply to my attempts to get in contact with these people.

Seriously, someone else was willing to pay more? Fine. But could you let us in on the news? Because it would be nice to maybe know what is going on. Maybe. I guess.

Anyway, I suppose we're back to the house hunt. Oh, well. It's actually not as upsetting as I thought it would be. After all, something else will turn up. And we will move to Iowa in July.

Today Justin finishes his last final and project. Thank goodness.

Next week he begins teaching 50 students about something.

I think that's the plan: to teach them about something. I suppose he'll have to think of some lesson plans this weekend.
