Beauty amongst the rubble.




























*A beautiful wisteria grows right outside our garage...though it is completely covered in dead leaves and branches. Hopefully next spring it will be unhindered and we will be able to thoroughly enjoy it!

The last week-end that we worked on the house was March 23-25. We got a lot done, scraping popcorn and such. Then the following week-end my Uncle Brad died. We found out exactly 3 months to the day of when Uncle Ronnie died. It was and is terrible. We are so, so sad. The next 2 weeks were a whirlwind of family and grieving and time spent out at Mimi's. Nothing happened at the house, but that didn't matter. Nothing mattered except being with family. It's funny, because even though my heart was hurting so deeply, I loved seeing all of our lives put on hold so that we could hold each other and care for each other. No other plans, no other to-dos except be by each other's side.

Needless to say, this blog was the last thing on my mind...but here are a few old posts from that week-end over a month ago.
