life as I know it right now?

Wow what a crazy last few weeks.....living with 7 people in a one bedroom basement suite can be quite overwelming!! Having no where to go to have space....our kitchen is starting to slowly come together....we have started painting finally, but the basement we are still waiting on quotes for insurance....
Our house will be beautiful and new when it is done.....just the process is not fun! Some days it is so hard to maintain a good attitude, to be a peace, to be patient! Somedays I just want to run away, so I go shopping....I love retail therapy!!

We are also at this time looking at our lives, we have a good life, however we are so busy and there is so much $$$ pressure...so we are trying to think of ways to reduce this pressure so we can spend more time with our family and less time having to work so much! So far our only idea is to sell the house....because that is a huge pressure $$$. God has been so faithful and provided all our needs every month....and I am so thankful. however we would like to be free as well. So pray that everything will work out. That our house will sell....the kids also want to be closer to school too. They so loved school and that is important to us as well.

Anyhow that is our life as of today...just waiting patiently!!!!!! We enjoyed seeing Fortunate Downfall play at the Battle of the Bands last night...they were definatly the best band!! It was so cool to see them up on stage performing there own songs...they are definatly very talented!! Way to go guys !

Be blessed and remember everything works together for good!!

crazy house I live in.....

What a crazy week....life is such an adventure!!! From my last blog if felt quite depressed for a day,,,,I also got my period that day.....I know that I don't suffer from depression...I also know that I need to take control of my thoughts better....Thanks to the anonymous encouragement....not sure who wrote it do the anonymous ness however it blessed me!! thank you!!

Meanwhile this last week...crazy......we started by doing a simple kitchen reno...change the counters, add new flooring and that was it.....then we decided to change the cabinets.....so then we needed to take done the backsplash tile and when we did this...the whole wall crumbled....so we had to take the entire wall down and re drywall it....so this started a domino affect...because since we took the wall down then we might as well take down the bulkhead over the cabinets as well as take down a wall the stuck out in the middle of nowhere...... so now my whole kitchen is gutted almost to the stud.....so we started eating downstairs in my parents make shift kitchen. Meanwhile downstairs we noticed some paint peeling and that it went up two of our walls....so we got insurance to look at it and they told us to find the root of this leak.....after taking moldy wet walls down and ripping up the sub flooring we realised that the leak came from the main water line to the house...so we got that fixed...so due to the water damage we have had to get movers and move out all of our basement things to storage..due to not having any kitchen and to the mold ect we are now living at Trev's parents basement suite with my parents....crazy times....we have laughed, we have been stressed....but the best part is everything works together for good......we are getting a new basement...thanks to insurance and our kitchen reno keeps getting more gutted due to the wacky house we live in....but in the end it will be beautiful....I know God has everything in his hands and he has a purpose for all this.......now it just waiting for the completion of all these wonderful renos.....it crazy here....but most are alot of fun!!!
Love you all...be blessed!!
