Thank You Is Not Enough

Josh and I through this whole pregnancy experience have been overwhelmed with God's goodness to us. For the most part the pregnancy has gone smooth, my health has remained stable and really I have had no major complications. Back in March we made the decision to renovate the spare room and the living room as well. These decisions were some what necessary. Our spare room which would be the baby's nursery did not have proper working ventilation and we technically had two living rooms, so the upstairs one has become a dining room. Josh's dad stepped right in helping with the renovations, building etc, along with several other people. We can't say thank you enough for the help with the building side of things.

I know people must think I am a broken record because I am always writing these long posts thanking various people. I hope it will be a true reflection of how grateful I am to those individuals and ultimately God who has provided the help we need. Due to Josh being so busy with renovations the outside had needless to say turned into a jungle. Our grass was almost two feet high, the house needed power washing, the weeds needed to be pulled on top of the various other indoor things we still need to finish. This week proved to be very productive and we have many people to thank.

It started Thursday when Damian called and offered to come and cut our grass, huge help. This was followed up by the blessing tidal wave on Saturday. My mom and dad put a small work crew together to come declare jihad on the outside. HUGE help! The crew consisted of my mom, dad, Kevin D, Cierra, Tori and Charlie McElvy. The overall of what was accomplished was: house power washed, weed eating, back deck and furniture cleaned off, carpets laid in the basement, curtains ironed and the nursery finished being organized. Due to all this help it also helped Josh get a jump on getting the crown molding for the dinning room started and it allowed me to organize a few things I had been wanting to work on but did not have the time.

All in all Josh and I just want to say a huge thank you. Our house outside no longer looks like Sanford and Son and we no longer dread walking outside. We are grateful for everyone who has helped with all the recent projects, but this weekend was especially helpful and we are appreciative.
