Today was one of those silly days where I found it almost impossible to turn my tears off once they had started. It was in the mid-afternoon that my mom sent me a picture of how our house was looking. It was the biggest positive thing I had seen all day. Of course, it made me cry just thinking about it. We knew we needed to go see it in person. So we did! Once Brady got home, we dressed everyone and headed out the door. It wasn’t long before we were at our place!

It was SO surreal walking through OUR house! I may have cried. It is just truly unreal to see how much has happened and while there is still lots to do, its incredible to see how far into the process they already are!! I can’t wait to be able to walk through it when its more than just a shell with no roof. This was amazing, though. I have not a single complaint about how its all looking today. Not one.

We left down and hit up Walmart for some quick grocery shopping. The kids love Walmart. They love shopping. Because of our stop, we ate supper pretty late at home, but they were happy kids to have had an outing. Before bed, I asked Dekker and Laela what their favorite parts of today were. Dekker said he liked going shopping at the store, and Laela clarified “Ya, mart mart.” Dekker asked Brady and I for our favorite parts and we both agreed that seeing the house had been the highlight of the day. Then they went to bed, and I phone dated with my mom while Brady fed Rowan some milk.

Now, we rest. We are tired and down trodden, but working hard to find positives each day. I just wonder where the point is that we peter out. I feel like we’re dangerously close to reaching it. As always, prayers are appreciated.
