After yesterdays post, I have real confidence that we CAN and WILL do our move with help from people around us. Which is INCREDIBLY humbling. I’m sure you’ve seen the tweets and jokes about how adults shouldn’t ask their friends to help them move. I tried for ten seconds to find a tweet like that to post here, and rather, I found articles about how only entitled people ask their friends to help them move. Sooooo at risk of seeming that way, I’m going to say that the offers of help we have received have blown me away, and I am overwhelmed with gratefulness! It will be a LOT of work, and to know there will be happy hearts in our corner that day, I feel some real peace. So praise God for good people with giving spirits!!
With that scary detail on its way to being worked out, we can get into some of the nitty gritty of planning! Brady spent some time on the phone today with our mortgage broker, who is working hard to light a fire under our lenders butt, considering its the holidays and our realtor put the wrong date on our official possession documents. Whooooops! 😬 He also did some legwork to get utilities transferred. We inquired about when keys will be released, and we’re in talks with the right people about the first big renovation we want to do when we get there. Beside all that, today we had a meeting with a social worker. I corresponded with a bio parent of one of my bonus kids. I called Saskabilities and ordered some feeding supplies. Wrapped a couple of presents. And Brady sorted out and moved things into the trailer. Landry helped us get a van seat out of storage and they installed it, making our twelve passenger van actually capable of holding twelve passengers. Dekker biked downtown and picked up the mail and some prescriptions. Biking on December 29th. What even is this season??
So its been a big day already, but a good one 💜 God provides just endlessly, and I am so incredibly grateful. Gifts on gifts and gifts. Thank you Lord!
