I didn’t realize that when I was blogging last week about “Project Baby Hope” that more house “troubles” were looming. As if we didn’t have enough on our plate with our charming 1960′s humble abode.

My sister in law, her hubby and their adorable babe came to visit us for the weekend. Saturday morning started off early as our little wild child has been waking up WAY before the sun rises. (Hoping daylight savings time helps me out a little in that department.) While everyone was still sleeping (minus wild child by my side) I started to make homemade muffins and brewed some yummy DD coffee. As I went to place the muffins in the oven, to my surprise and dismay it was still cold (after I had preheated for about 15 minutes.) Broken oven. So much for the homemade muffins. Onto the coffee….which was another disappointment. If anything, I needed some good strong coffee that morning. Nope. The coffee pot was also having issues and decided it didn’t want to work either that morning. REALLY!!! Thankfully, I figured out the problem the next day, but all to say it didn’t make my morning any better.

From then on, Sat. was full of a discovery of house woes. (Thankfully, in the midst of it, we had a great time with our company and even got a signed wedding contract from a consultation we snuck off to during Abe’s nap time.) By Sunday morning Seth and I were so discouraged as our huge project list just turned MASSIVE. But God is oh so good to us! We get to church and by the time Sunday School was over, a guy at our church was asking how he could help us! He has already been here and fixed and diagnosed 2 of the problems we discovered this weekend. And we are exchanging services for services! Doesn’t get much than that!

I’m just so thankful for our dear friends and family who have been helping us out. My brother in law got on the roof on Sat. (hubby has a fear of heights. I reassure him all the time, it is ok. He has a TON of AMAZING qualities so who cares if he doesn’t like getting on the roof.) to check out another problem. Then our dear friend Jason has spent 2 nights after work at our house helping Seth fix a leak from our bathroom. He has saved us about $800. Jay-we owe you bigtime! (I’m seeing more photo sessions of his girls in my future.) Now our leak is fixed! Thank you JASON!

We will have a hole in our living room ceiling for another month (I’ve only been looking at it for 3 months now so what’s another month) to make sure the leak is fix, but I’m fine with that. Things are getting done and we have barely spent ANY money! How can I complain! Just when I was really getting discouraged, the Lord showed His faithfulness yet again and we are blessed!
