We should be all moved out (this includes coming back to clean inside and out) by the end of Wednesday. So, as far as I am concerned, our new life starts bright and early Thursday morning. Ok, maybe whenever I drag ass out of bed Thursday. Either way - I am making the commitment to find a way to become involved in our new community...and to dedicate regular time to improve someone elses life. This was sort of a little cosmic bargain I made with the universe in a FB status about a month ago. In reality it was me begging the world to just stop shitting on us and let me catch a break by finding a new rental that week. It didnt happen when I asked for it to - but we didnt give up, and the arrangement we found ended up (as far as we can see!) to be the RIGHT one. And it was all because of a friend that I have a very emotional attachment to - Hiedi Hilton. Some of you know the story behind that, some dont. I put out an ad on CL, that was my last ditch effort to find a home. I put it all out there - all of the negatives that prevented every other landlord from renting to us. And Hiedis aunt read it - and she immediately gave us a chance. She listened to who we are, and she let us come see the house that wasnt even finished being built yet. Then she took our info - and lowered the cost a bit, and put a rush on the finish. And offered us a home. The only draw back? Zacs job has no locations close enough by for this to work for us. So no job transfer. A home with no way to pay the bills wasnt going to work. We knew this before going to see it, but went anyway. Then my friend Robin, to whom I also have a ridiculously meaningful connection to, spoke to her husband, Vic. Vic offered Zac a job. So the other half of our good news is that Zac will be starting his new job shortly. No more overnights. Time with the family. Overtime, when he had been getting up to only 29 hours recently, with the promise of fewer hours in the next few weeks. Then, our friends Kimberly & Rudy stepped in and helped us make the move possible by helping us get a Uhaul - among a million other things. All of this over sharing is to show this : All of the fear and struggle and worry happened for a reason. The RIGHT situation was getting ready to present itself. To me, the incredible blessing in how things worked out that has been handed to us, is reason enough for me to find a way to help make other peoples darkness a little brighter. Just because it didnt happen when I was begging for it to, doesnt make me any less thankful - and determined to do my part. If there were no Hiedis or Robins or Kims in the world, we wouldnt have an opportunity right now - and its my turn to find a way to be that opportunity. So - Thursday, I will start looking for ways to make that happen. Thank you everyone thats helped us...and Thank you universe for stopping the crap storm...appreciated.
