Driving Straight Through

David is on the road, driving from DC to Dallas. He left at 5:30 this morning and we've checked in with him several times by cell phone. Not one to waste his time, he talked on his phone to a mortgage agent and a real estate agent, and at one point had me filling in the questions for an online loan application while he fed me the answers over his phone. He doesn't have much time before he needs to have a place to live in Houston.

It is now past 10pm and I've just talked to him again. He seems to think he's had enough Starbucks to keep himself awake and drive straight through. I don't approve, but hey, I'm just the mom. He asked me if there was a bed for him to sleep in--I guess I'd better go put some clean sheets on the vacant bed. I'll take the phone to bed with me and expect a call at 4:30am to let him in.

Lord, keep him safe.

In other news, this morning Rachel turned in the last bits of an application for a real teaching job. Lord, lead her to the right job.
