Down to a Science:

I am no expert at this. It seems happen every couple of months and I am left to deal with the consequences, cleaning up the mess that I've made. Believe it or not, I'm not talking metaphorically! I really am moving again.

Kory has been super awesome to let me live at his house for the past three months. I made sure to thank him with pizza. He explained prior that it was not me, but the details were not 100% communicated to him until after he already had plans. Hence, he needs his spare rooms this fall for friends and family. He didn't realize that this internship was for six months.

No one else has either. They keep asking me when I'm leaving... I wonder if I should take that as a sign? No one really cringes when I inform them that I’d be there for another three months as well. So far, so good!

Today I move in with the Oesterreich’s (pronounced A-strike ... sweet name if you ask me). They do not attend out church, but attend the Lutheran church near Pastor Marty’s house. A few years ago when that church was without a youth pastor, the kids, on their own accord, went searching around for other youth groups and found the group at Fall Creek.

The two older Oesterreich children, Steven and Heed, have both moved out of the house for college. The leave Tyler, 10th grade, home without the brother and sister. He plays on the youth worship band, so I’ve gotten to know him really well.

Those details aside, I have learned not so much how to pack, but how to move a bunch of junk from one place to the next in a short amount of time. Without much prior work, I have successfully moved everything that belongs to me out of Kory’s house in under three hours. Granted, I have not moved to the Oesterreich’s yet, but that’s pretty good for one guy. I had the motivation of music, but not much sleep to back that. I hope that I sleep hard tonight. I really could use it right now. But for now, I’m pretty proud of myself. I think I have this whole moving thing down to a science. Let’s do this every other month... or maybe not.
