Tired!!

Sorry I didn't get to post anything yesterday.  Got home late and was extremely tired.  Yesterday, we spent some time with the kids.  We took them to replace some of their favorite things that they lost.  We also went out to the "home site" and I really got to look around the house for the first time.  I looked in the bathroom where we all huddled that night and thanked God once again for our lives.  We also got to connect with some of the neighbors which I really enjoyed.  It is sad that it takes such a tragedy to bring people together just to talk and get to know each other!  We are too busy these days and one thing I have learned is that we need to value each other and try to spend more time getting to know people.  Most important thing that happened yesterday is that we found a house to rent and now we are just waiting on insurance to approve it and then we can sign the lease.  Today, we spent the morning trying to get some things sorted so that they will be easier when we move in.  Then we were able to make a drop off of things that we had gone through and knew we wouldn't be using anymore.  With all the help that we are receiving, it was nice to be able to help others that are in the same boat!!  Then, we went to visit our neighbors at their daughters house.  They are hanging in there but we all really miss living in our homes next to each other.  You couldn't ask for better neighbors and I love them dearly.  I know that some of you are reading this to see what our needs are.  Well we are about to move into a house and now we need to furnish it.  The only things that we have to go into the new home are a bed & mattress for Landry.  Also, a crib and mattress for Ava.  Otherwise, we will be going into the house without any other furnishings. So anything that you would like to let us borrow or donate would be great!  For our family at OUMC, Amy Nutt can be a point of contact for these things.  So just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone  that has prayed, volunteered, and donated.  We do not know where we would be without you all and we are truly blessed!!!
