But February was a rough month. Dan was working so much overtime. On top of all that was going on, we got sick again! I don't know why, but we basically endured three months where our family couldn't go more than 8 days without getting sick! I've never seen so much puking in my life! Haha. But seriously, it was challenging. It would go away and then come back! And when it wasn't the stomach flu, it was a cold or sinus infection. Dan even ended up in the Hospital, That was a rough night indeed. Thank God he is okay. But then the children got it! Nothing is worse than seeing your tiny baby throwing up constantly. I felt so helpless. Praise God for friends and family that continued to pray for us. I am so grateful. And I'm so sorry to everyone else that had or has this stomach flu.We are praying for you!
Right after we recovered from that, we moved in our new house in early March! It was a much needed fresh start! But the first few weeks were much more difficult than we expected. Dan worked overtime 6 days a week, and All I can say is, my husband is amazing! Whenever he was home he did countless home repairs, installed doors, built a fence, fixed cars. I am so blessed to have a very handy strong Godly Man! We painted, had carpet installed, did some landscaping. It's a lot of work but so worth it. The house looks beautiful and we're very happy here. Even though there is still a lot to do, at least the major things are done. We had a our first gathering here, a small going away party for my mother in law and it was so nice.
Now that things have settled down a bit, we are really enjoying life here. It is so peaceful. Life is never perfect, but for the most part we've been healthy and happy here. Sometimes I wonder if there was something in our old house keeping us/making us sick. I know that is crazy but it doesn't make sense we would get sick so often. That was our first real "home" and it was definitely a blessing. But there's a lot of memories and things there I am so glad to leave behind!
Spring is in full force now and I am so excited for the hot weather. Easter is a couple weeks away and I can barely contain my excitement about it! God's greatest gift to us! We're having a huge brunch here Easter morning. I am equally thrilled and terrified about this.
The dogs and children love playing outside. Our backyard has fig trees and grapes! I'm gonna start a vegetable garden very soon. I hope I'm successful! Haha ;)
And through it all our family has grown so much closer to God in the past few months. I am so grateful for this. God's presence fills this home and it is a beautiful thing. I can't describe it. And we're so grateful for our Church. We're slowly making more friends there. And of course, our family <3
So happy for new beginnings. :)
