A Sea Of Red

Some of you who are close to me like Smoothie, Medic GMTM and Sly know how un-traditional the Scarborough's live in terms of our jobs and home. For the past 6 years now I have been doing contract work as a Project Manager for various corporations in DC and Richmond. 4 of those years we owned a house in Lynchburg and part of that time MRS SCAR and I were working in different cities and meeting each other in Lynchburg on Weekends. It has been a wild ride but we remain close. Last year we decided that Richmond would be home since we both were starting to get contract work here (she is a contractor too). Contracting can sometimes mean not working weeks or months at a time waiting for that next assignment which can really play on your emotions...Anyway, this week, after a 15 month wait, we are finally moving into our new home here in Richmond. We were supposed to move back in January but our builder delayed due to the economy changing and some other factors. As a result we have been in the one bedroom apt that we also had here in Richmond for the past 2 plus years. My praise is simple. Thank God that we both are living and working in the same city and that my job is going well and possibly could turn into a full time gig. Also thank God for our home. MRS SCAR's latest contract ended 3 weeks ago which could have delayed our move but we were still able to get through underwriting! That in itself is probably our biggest praise!!!! Don't worry those of you in Richmond (Manson) I don't need any help moving

God bless and may He continue in your situations. I like to hear more praises in the future what He will and is doing for your family.

one of these days I have to get down there to see the new Stately Scarborough Manor

I usually call one of the spare bedrooms the Toomer suite named after Chris Toomer. The last house the Toomer suite was really the Smoothie Suite but if you come down for homecoming we can name it the Medic suite even though you are no longer a medic. Does all of that make sense? All that to say that you are welcome anytime.

Thanks so much...We are excited too. We have a really good church that we have gone to here since summer of 2007 and when we get settled in, we are going to join. I think I will be at Thomas Road the next 3 weekends since we have a nice home stand now but after homecoming I think we will do it.

SCAR, does this mean that you will get to take your ETSU dunk poster out of storage and finally put it over the fireplace where it deserves to be located?

Congrats on the move!

I hope it doesn't get "lost" in the move I doubt it will ever be displayed again. I think the best it will do is be in the garage with all of my trophies from high school in one big box.

Congratulations my friend. Very happy for you.

Part-time Medic Suite has a nice ring to it.

working tonite, as a matter of fact.

can I borrow a few bucks to come down?

I assume that you want me to help you move in since I helped you move out last time...... If Mrs. SCAR makes me some cookies then and only then will I think about helping you move... Actually I would but I have Notre Dame @ UNC on Sat... Looking forward to seeing you on Homecoming...

That's awesome.

Congratulations, SCAR...
...and best of luck in getting the full-time gig.

God's timing is always perfect. So when we trust Him to work out the details they come together better than we can plan.

Bigtime congrats to Scar & Mrs. Scar. I know 15 months probably felt like forever. It only makes the move-in all the more sweeter.

One word...Movers. Also we are moving during the week. Saturday I hope to be sitting in Williams Stadium especially since DirecTV won't put my dish on the roof until Monday.
