beyond thankful

In last week or so, I have been overwhelmed with blessing. Not luck, it is a blessing. I have never made so many huge decisions so fast and it's all God's hand. This week and weekend has been great in Portland! We are home safe and have now decided we are moving on August 19th!
I got a job at an AMAZING boutique with an AMAZING owner.
Peter's transfer was approved by the manager at his new Starbucks.
We were having some trouble getting approved with the apartment situation because they want to know our exact income, and hours, and pay!!! Well working at a coffee shop is not very 'exact'. The hours change from week to week and we have no clue what another state will pay him? Anyhow, we both decided (after having a frustrating meeting with the apartment management) that we would be completely fine if we needed to crash on some friend's couches for awhile. We were content with whatever cards we were dealt. 
Then came the BLESSED phone call.
Peter's truck sold!!!
His truck has been for sale for the last 4 months and with the economy the way it is we thought for sure it wouldn't move any time soon. Thank you Lord! So now I can call tommorrow and hopefully be able to secure our apartment with 3 months rent!!!
