The Murdock's Home

It's been a stressful two weeks as we've tried to secure a home, but being here at the Murdock's home and house sitting for them has made it a lot more tolerable. The kids have never been bored because there is so much to do! So many new toys, game tables, the Wii and Xbox, and a trampoline and a playground in the backyard! Just being in such a comfortable homey place where we can all spread out and have our own rooms has been amazing. We've also needed their computer, printer, and fax machine a lot so that has been so helpful as well.
We finally signed the closing documents today so we're headed "home" tomorrow! It's actually kind of hard to leave this temporary home, but we're excited for what's ahead!

Funny story- before we received the closing documents today we were still unaware if we'd be able to buy the home so we were pretty stressed and frustrated and our fuses were short. We had to print a picture of Brad to be displayed at his new office for his new patients to see so we ordered a copy of the print he had received from dental school (a very nice and professional picture) online at Walmart and went to pick it up. When Brad asked for his photo the lady went to get it and then asked for the photo copyright which we don't have. She asked who took the picture and Brad said his dental school did. She asked again for the copyright. He looked her in the eye and said he gave the school $400,000 for the picture. She was caught off guard and retreated. She saw the serious look and laughed off the awkwardness for fear Brad would blast her again. Then she let us leave with the photo. Bless her heart.
