We're in good shape on the house. It won't be the way I imagined it would be when we finally listed it for sale or lease, but considering we weren't really in the market for a tenant, I think we've done well.
We signed the lease with the tenants today. They are finishing some of the get ready work on the house as a means of paying their rent deposit. We also offered them an option to do some additional work in exchange for lower rent for a few months. We'll see where that goes; I'm not sure the motivation is there.
Paige and Josh came up and really helped with loading our truck and her car and generally helping with a lot of the final detail work needed to get us out of here. We appreciated her hard work far more than she knows.
I decorated Kate's birthday cake for tomorrow. The Easter eggs are ready for our last egg hunt here and the reservations are set for Easter/birthday brunch on Sunday.
Kevin is grabbing a brief nap before we head over to St. Tom's for the Vigil tonight.
It's been a long trying Lenten period this year. I still believe in the 'shit happens' theory more than the "God's Plan" explanation for how hard things have sometimes been as we've coped with Kevin's cancer.
What has become more apparent to me is that God provides us with the gifts to use whatever happens in a way that can join us ever closer to Him.
The 'plan' everyone keeps talking about isn't in the details; it's in the result. Did we grow closer to God in our ability to give and accept love without reservations and conditions?
That's the plan. Love.
