Blessings

The rental market here in Lewiston is sparse. There aren't a lot of options let alone good options. Brad and I spent months looking before we moved here then one night I noticed the house we're in on Craigslist 4 minutes after it was posted and I called right away and luckily we got the rental. 

At the time I remember the owner thinking it must have been meant to be because I called him so fast after he listed his rental. It hasn't been until recently that I've started thinking that he might be right.

 We now live right next door to a family that have been good friends with the Simmons for years and have been becoming great friends of our own. 

AND, a few weeks ago a car stopped by while my kids and I were playing in my front yard and out walked one of my good friends I made from work when we lived here 5 years ago. I found out she lives just a few house down from us! 

AND, when I registered Kade for kindergarten I initially wasn't able to get him in the school closest to us and in the AM class like we wanted but the morning that school started the district called me and they got Kade in! I was so happy. He has two friends from church in his class and he made another great friend named Tanner. He's been asking me for weeks to have a play date with Tanner. I finally met his mom and learned they live down the road from us as well! He is ecstatic! I'm so grateful that he found such a good boy to be friends with and that they live so close to us.

 Whether or not this rental house was meant to be ours, I feel so overwhelmingly blessed to be here and surrounded by such great friends and neighbors.
