Hard Labor....

We are back from a week of working hard. I have not ever painted that much in my life! 4 exterior doors both inside and out and the trim, then the garage door and trim, and shutters. Not to mention that I had to put many coats on some of them. Josh did a bunch of stuff too.

It felt great though, I slept well and ate well. My body didn't complain hardly at all.

I want to thank my friend Kelly for watching the dogs as she could. But extra thank yous go to my dad for driving down to stay with my dogs when Kelly couldn't.

Our family is going through so much right now it just seems to never end. My dad is a bus driver for special needs kids. A job that he is made for and is made for him. He didn't pass his health physical for some minor reasons and is now waiting for the HR department to let him drive again. Please keep him in your prayers that they get the papers back from the Dr. (who says my dad is OK to drive by the way) and the HR person will let him back on the bus.

My sister Anna is also looking for a job, she is a single mom with a home and a boy to keep up with so please put her on your prayer list too.

Josh and I are still trying to get this land sold but the mortgage company is so totally out of touch with what they are doing that it is getting distressing. I know God is watching over us as we are being taken care of. The lady I work for who owns a gymnastics business has called me back for the fall and we are starting to grow her business. I hope she continues to do well as right now I am the bread winner of this family it seems.

My love to you all, I pray that all of you are enjoying your families, friends and life as am I. Even with all of this adversity in my life at this time I have the joy of knowing one day I get to see my baby girl. I strive and pray for that day to come soon. I am so anxious to know her. Hug your children tight they truly are your blessings. My husband and I are so much closer then we have ever been and know God is holding our hands through this.
