Sometimes, life is pretty amazing.

WELL I haven't really been replying to the comments on the other journals... but I PROMISE to change that with this one. This really is the last hurdle that we had to moving, even if it just cropped up today, which was alluded to in the last journal, and was resolved by the most... unexpected of resources.
So the doctor's visit today was a great success. Not only did she sign that paperwork for the office saying it was in my best interest medically to leave the complex, which they gladly accepted and are now allowing us to break the lease with no penalty, but she also filled out the Honored Citizen form for Trimet so we can use public transit to its full potential at an incredibly low cost. Unfortunately along with that came the mandatory report to the DMV that my Epilepsy is uncontrolled, which means my license is now revoked, and for the most part I handled it well.
It was sad, definitely, but after overcoming so many obstacles recently it just felt like a final bump. I knew that it would make the actual process of moving incredibly difficult, and I didn't know where to turn, but I decided to lay down, take a nap, and just cool off. I knew that, eventually, something would work out.
When we first moved to Corvallis, where we are now, we had to give away some things. This lady on Craigslist contacted us immediately and came to get it. She did the same thing for the next load. We had assumed that she was either a freegan, a hoarder, or maybe had a consignment store of some sort. So when we started paring things down to move to Portland, since she was still in my contacts, I contacted her first.
She was very excited to get things, came a few days ago for the first load, and then returned after my nap today for the second. She asked how we were doing and what was going on, and we explained.
This very kind lady scours Craigslist for her church. She finds things that people are giving away, grabs them, and gives them to people that need furniture and other goods. She hadn't told us before, and we hadn't been aware. Without even being asked, she immediately volunteered to move our remaining stuff up to Portland on the 1st, coming to grab it on the 30th and store it in the interim.
To say that that was the least expected place in the world to find the help we needed when we needed it most is an understatement. To know that there are still people in this world that have enough love in their hearts to help others is an amazing thing. With this overcome, I'm just absolutely thrilled. There are still going to be trials in the future, but this was the last hurdle.
