more on the house....

We got our basement floor today! I never thought concrete could be so beautiful.
Of all days for a stray dog to show up it was today! This very stupid beagle kept running into the wet concrete and the guys would start yelling words I haven't heard since I worked in Carter County. I explained it wasn’t my dog but I don’t think they cared if it was mine or not they were going to kill it. I had it follow me down the street and told him "if he knew what was good for him he would take his scrawny concrete covered legs on outta here". I wish I could see the owners of that dog's face when they see his legs. What a mess. I wonder how easily dried concrete washes out of hair anyway?
On another note I think John has finally talked me into joining team ION. How could I refuse a free jersey? Now, I just need to get my foot to heal.

June 18th.

It’s been a good weekend. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect with today being the year anniversary of loosing Rob. We stayed busy. Yesterday we spent the day out at DRG, then went to a cook out. It was all great but in the back of my mind I kept thinking about this time last year. I don’t think the sadness in our hearts will ever leave when we think of Rob but at the same time I find myself laughing whenever I am talking about him and his sly sense of humor. It has been a hard year. However, I think I and maybe Tim (if I could speak for him) have a stronger appreciation for God’s grace and of His faithfulness in our own lives.
So too, on this day (really everyday) I am thankful for Tim. He is a wonderful father and our kids are so blessed to have him as their dad. Today, we grieve along with celebrate. Truly, this life will give us so many opportunities to do both. And, with both we will give our Lord all the glory and honor, because He is good.
