Well we are officially in our new home. Actually we have been for almost 2 months and we are still putting things away. Unreal how long it seems to take.
We are going to paint the boys room this week and then I can finish getting stuff put up out of the living room. It has been a storage area since we got here. We figured that was alright since we don't have any furniture to put in it anyway. Hopefully by Christmas we will have furniture up there. The rest of the house is coming along nicely.
Today I spent the day with my sweet daughter. She and her family moved back in September and moved into their new home within 2 weeks of us moving into ours. They are only about 2 blocks away and we can wave to each other if she stands on her front porch and I stand on my back porch. Pretty scary!! Not really. We are loving the time we get to spend with them and our sweet grand kids. Uncle Jeremiah is enjoying the freedom of riding around the neighborhood and down to his big sisters house to play. He has a few friends who live around us so that has been awesome.
Anyway, today we were able to spend a "mental health" day together and we did some shopping "therapy" along with having a very nice chat. She is having a rough time of it because this is the first year she has been home in almost 7 years and she is having to face the past. It was 10 years today that her dad died of cancer. I made peace with his death 5 years ago so I understand what she is dealing with. It is so hard to watch her walk through this.
My children mean the world to me and I hate when they go through trials. From experience I know we all have to walk through them and get to the other side a stronger being. She is blessed to have a wonderful man to help her walk through them as I am!
Please be praying for her.
