This week has been a whirlwind. After the flood happened, we've been busy tearing our house up, taking up rugs, moving stuff upstairs, meeting with insurance adjusters and mold/dampness specialists. Oh what fun. The good news, and what I am thankful for, is that it looks like insurance is going to foot the whole bill. We've yet to find out the final dollar amount, but since we lost 2 carpets, and the flooding caused a bunch of damage to the baseboards and the crawl space, we are hoping that it will be enough to put in a slate floor in the den and an area rug to cover it. I can't wait for the floor to be down and everything to be put back into it's place!
As a result of the mayhem, I've been spending most of my time out of the house. So I got to spend tuesday at the beach with my sister-in-law Kelly, my niece and nephew, and one of Kelly's friends and her kids. Yesterday, Finn and I got to visit the awesome Kidzclub for a MOPS playdate (what a cool place!) then go to the pool with Grandpa. Today we're going out to lunch with Grandpa and my brother Chris. So, I am thankful that circumstances have forced us out. Especially since it has been so nice out.
I am thankful for my husband, Jon. He has taken care of this whole flooding issue on TOP of working full time, training for a half-marathon, riding his bike to work, and running a business.
We just found out that our neighbors: Amy and Rory are expecting! I am so thankful that their prayers have been answered with this blessing. It couldn't have happened to better people.
love it! You've got one precious little boy right there!
ReplyDeleteRead the CD post, too, and I agree :) Lots of fabulous reasons to use cloth and only one semi-decent reason to use sposies (convenience) so...no-brainer, right? :P
