Complete and Total Exhaustion!

It has been a rough 2 weeks on this momma's body!  The lady that owns our house moved all of her stuff out last week, so I went back to TN on Thursday to start packing us up.  When I got to my house Thursday afternoon with my grandparents, we noticed one whole corner of our basement was flooded.  As luck would have it, it was the exact corner where all of my empty boxes were!!  We started bailing out the water like 3 crazy people in a sinking boat!  Come to find out, we had a pipe right outside the wall that wasn't sealed correctly and it gave way and started pouring close to 60,000 gallons of water into our foundation!  This river of water filled up the basement blocks then started pouring into the basement through a pencil sized hole.  It was a disaster.  Not at all what I expected to find when we walked downstairs! 
Thank God for my Daddy and L.W.  They put on multiple layers of clothes and got outside in 19* weather to dig up the pipe and fix it.  Daddy looked like he was head first down in a well to rescue baby Jessica.  Ha!  It was absolutely horrible.  And wouldn't it figure that Eric was in Houston for a business conference.  He about died as I told him the details over the phone.  After several hours and attempts to fix the pipe, it finally held and we could breathe a sigh of relief. 
The packing and moving continued as usual and Eric joined us late Saturday night to complete everything.  We drove back to KY on Monday and the movers arrived with everything Tuesday.  Eric's parents also came back to KY with us to help and bring things the movers couldn't take such as cleaners and, of course, ammo.  Ha!  Since then, we've been knee deep in boxes and bubble wrap.  I'm slowly getting things put away.  I worked on Aiden's room this morning and really enjoyed displaying toys we had when we were little.  On Aiden's changing dresser is Eric's G.I. Joe's right beside my Pooh Bears. Ha.  Needless to say, his room will be so special and a definite blend of his Daddy and me.

Busy Bees

Eric and I have been super busy with our house situation.  Our wonderful landlord has offered to move out all of her belongings and let us move our stuff up here from Tennessee.  As if that wasn't enough, she also said she would put in a fence for us to get Shelby and Dozer up here.  We are thrilled!  Finally we will be able to call this place home and have our little family all together.  I can't wait to get back in MY bed too!  God is just laughing at me for freaking out over everything.  I just needed to rest in His plans.  Just this past week I was the one crying about not having a room for Aiden.  It's funny how life turns out okay so quickly.
