All is Well

It has been over a week since I last posted. The girls were home on Spring Break and we had a wonderful time. I was planning on posting about all the great things we did but instead I have a different story to tell today.

I was jolted out of bed this morning when the phone started ringing at 5:45 (yes, I was being lazy and was not up at 5:15 as usual). It was my mother calling from a hotel. At 2:30 this morning a car hit my parents house. The driver has no major injuries and no one else was hurt....unless you count my parents house. The town fire chief called an inspector to come out and take a look at the damage. It was determined that the house's foundation had been compromised and the house is not safe.

For those of you who know my mother and me well you know how much we love to rearrange and redecorate our homes. Well, two weeks ago my mom decided to move into a different bedroom. Their old bedroom was the room that was hit by the car. The Lord's hand is in all things. 

My mom summed up the whole situation by saying, "You know, Rae, I've been wanting to replace the carpet in that room. Looks like that will be happening after all."

There's always a silver lining!
