Surprise, surprise...we have a place to live!
We signed the lease this morning that will allow us to occupy that lovely little French apartment we fell in love with! As many of you know, we had great difficulty obtaining the lease because we did not have someone to sign as a guarantor. We worked for a week and a half trying all sorts of alternatives to no avail. It was discouraging to be in that situation, especially considering that back home it would have been absolutely not a problem (with our good credit history, etc.)! The agency called us on Monday to tell us that they would give it to us without a guarantor, which surprised us. Mark asked them this morning why they decided to do that, and they essentially said that they liked us, thought we were nice, and decided to trust us and take the risk! Somehow it's all the better that we were accepted on those grounds! (Mark said he remembers years ago humorously signing in somebody's high school year book that he planned to get by in life on pure charisma alone, so there you have it!) We're soooo glad it's all over!

Dear Mark and Kendra,
Congratulations! The news could not be better. The apartment of your dreams indeed! I am not surprised that you were awarded the lease without a guarantor. It makes perfect sense to me. You are wonderful people, and anyone who pays attention can see your goodness, intelligence, and integrity.
Much love,
Dad
Thanks, Dad! That means a lot to us.
Good show! This seems like a great place to live. We have had a lot of snow in Utah, I assume that Lyon doesn't get much snow. What is the temperature like?
Who wouldn't like the Butlers - you are very nice and gracious people!
Take care - Daniel Hatch of Highland Utah
Great to hear from you, Dan! Thanks for leaving a comment on the blog. We loved your pictures of Mexico--definitely on our list of places to visit someday!
Lyon is pretty mild. The average temp for Jan has been in the mid 40's (winter just the way I like it), with some rain here and there.
Thanks again for the well wishes. We miss you!
