It Finally Happened!

I got an offer.

Today, Sunday, this afternoon, my son saw the email first.

We're over the top with relief and joy. This has been a long, hard slog and I'm so very, very grateful that it's finally over. Now, I can move on. We can move on.

For the moment, I don't want to even think about all the work that awaits us, just to get ready for the move. That's joyous work and I know we'll manage it.

For the moment, I just want to be grateful.

Thank you for all the heartfelt words and prayers of support you've sent along the way.
