Another crazy week is in the bag.
On Wednesday I was writing down Nevaeh-isms to share, because they are darling and I just realized that she has picked up on so much of our lingo. "Aw, bummo, Debt!" (Aw, bummer, Seth!) I believe I may still have had pen in hand when I got a phone call that kinda put the brakes on treasuring up all this said cuteness. We found out this week that our two new little friends will be moving from our home sometime in the days to come. Although we knew full well what we were getting ourselves into with this foster business, and even knew full well that there was a relative out there completing a home study, it still stung. And so we cried. And then we felt depressed. And then we kinda of accepted things and put one foot in front of the other and kept going through the week.
We also spent the bulk of our evenings this week pricing things and doing other garage sale-y tasks. A family from our church recently moved to France to attend a language school, with the plans of sharing Christ in Morocco soon. They didn't have a chance to sell the last of their items due to a death in the family, so we loaded it all in our garage and waited for a spring weekend to try and raise some money for them. Anywho, fast forward to now and we once again have room to walk in the garage. (!!!) It was not quite as epic as the RG garage sale of 2011, but I'm happy that we do have close to $1,000 to send to them.
In a nutshell, that brings us to now. Grandma and grandpa are coming this week and we also will(hopefully!) get to celebrate Nevaeh's birthday!
