It couldn't last forever!

Well, the snow stopped the wonderful progress!  Last week was so perfect for pouring concrete that the guys had to get one more project in Thursday.  So, Matthew and I took the opportunity to get a little early burning in!

We certainly had a lot of overgrowth this summer.  There also seems to be a ton of spiders.  No love lost torching those!!

The Friday rains also brought a muddy back yard and the cement truck couldn't get to the basement to pour the new floors.  The weekend snow didn't really help, either!  They're planning on building a chute to take it in through the garage tomorrow.  Sure hope that works.  I'm really anxious to keep going.  I never expected it to take this long and can't believe how far we still have to go.

The SBA called with progress on the loan.  Which is little.  We'll get a small chunk sometime next week, but lots more paperwork before it can really move.  I am happy to say that the money does seem to come in as the bills do.  It's just too bad that it's only a LOAN!  But it's a better loan than our current mortgage, so we are just calling ourselves blessed and moving on with things.  It's so hard to deal with everything and just be so unsettled at the same time.  Michael had to come to me looking for light bulbs tonight.  I couldn't even tell him where to find them!  Our lives right now are just hither and yon and no one really knows where anything is!

One day...

Anyway, we continue to praise God through the storm and the rebuilding.  I can't see His plan at the moment, but I will forever believe that He is in control, and that none of this is my home anyway!  Thanks to those who continue to pray for us and send help our way.  We all pray that we will be able to pay it forward in the future.
