Thankful

Today was a good day. My basement, garage, girls' room and kitchen all were cleaned and organized this weekend by family and friends. The kitchen Mike and my dad added trim along the top and finished my side cabinet.  My brother-in-law fixed my electrical issues too.  My mom and mother-in-law exuded patience beyond belief as I ran us all over town trying to pick out a light for over the kitchen sink. It only took me 9 months to actually make a choice. 😳 But a choice was finally made! I

  I even convinced my sister to help my girls purge their room. Well, actually they started by "helping", but we quickly learned they are total pack rats and while others ran interference we finally were able to throw away a ton of garbage and get the room organized!

 Many friends and family helped with the garage and basement. My brother made sure to organize the tools so that he was sure to find what he needed when he was over. 😂 It was super overwhelming at first, but as each new person came they brought renewed energy and focus. I am so blessed to have family and friends that love so extravagantly.  All of which led to this: my kiddos and I finishing the last two nights rollerblading in the basement. I love these smiling faces! Thank you God for surrounding us with such loving family and friends both near and far. Love you.
