Chapter 7...Part 7

The next morning the guest called John who told him they needed to go look for furniture and get him an estimate because he was buying them a house and furnishing it.

So off to the furniture store they went. They spent a couple of hours looking at furniture and dreaming what their home would look like. The guest even called a man about putting in a coy pond for them at the house.

After that they went back to the hotel and waited to hear from John. They got the room for an extra night and they spent that night discussing what could be done about the house situation. Ironically the girl had just gotten her paycheck on Thursday and it was now Saturday and they were completely out of money, 2 days later.

While they were waiting to hear from John DK and Kent called the couple to tell them that the house was now up for sale again and what was going on. The guest called and talked with John’s financial advisor. He said he would call them right back. When he called back he said that the house was now in probate and they would need to do something different. The guest called DK and Kent and told them the news. John told the guest that if DK and Kent decided on a house then he would go ahead and pay for it and the guest could pay him back. The couple called their real estate agent and DK and Kent and told them all to meet them at the houses. There were 2 other houses the couple had liked that were empty and could be moved into quickly.

They all met at the houses and DK and Kent decided on the house they wanted. Then they all went to the furniture store for them to pick out furniture.

It had been a very long day and they were all exhausted at the end of it. DK and Kent went back home and the couple stayed in Tooele for the night. John was supposed to take them to Wendover for the evening but by the time they were done in the furniture store it was too late to go. They got lucky and the real estate agent took them out to dinner at Flying J. If he hadn’t done that then they would not have eaten that night.

The couple stayed the night and got some sleep. The girl was getting frustrated because it seemed some things were working out but she still hadn’t met John and it seemed like so much was falling apart. They had no money and the trip to Florida had been cancelled. This had caused extra stress for her friends who had also lost their water that weekend and had to wait until the week to get it turned back on.
