Update...

I am glad a week has past! Everyday gets a little easier. We have found out that our house has to be completely gutted and rebuilt. The rebuild is suppose to take about three months. In the mean time we are going to be living at Kreig's grandmas house.
The kids are doing better still saddened by the loss of there stuff and our house. Although they are getting exciting about picking out new things and getting to decorate a new room soon.
As for Kreig and I we are hanging in there and keeping a positive outlook on everything. We have alot to be thankful for. Our kids are alive and we have alot of people around us that love and care about us. Our communtiy has been great to us this past week. We have been very blessed with the out pour of generosity from everyone around us.

House fire:(

Sat. night around 7pm our chimney caught on fire and we lost the whole upstairs and part of our living room.

2009

Wow it's 2009 can you believe it?? I'm so excited for 09, it means a new start! We are right where we want to be. Last year was a little crazy to say the least..... We sold our house unexpectedly to be homeless for a while. We had to live with my husbands dad for 10 long months! Although at the time we were unhappy to be living with someone and to have our kids lives turned upside down, we learned alot about ourselves that we didn't know. To look back on that whole experience I think it was gods way of helping us and teaching us new ways of living and to help us through the rest of our journeys through life. So for that I am very grateful and I know I never want to go there again:)
As a family we are very happy in our new house. This house is so us, it's like this home was waiting for us, from the four bedrooms, new kitchen, country living even down to the paint color on the walls that matched our stuff perfectly! I love old houses and this house was built in the 1800's, but completely remodeled so beautifully. The only down fall was no garage but we are planning to build one this summer. My husband has alot of big plans for this place this summer haha..... who know what this year will bring. All I know is that we are very happy and looking forward raising our kids in our new house and making alot of awesome memories!
