There's no place like home! |
Hello Everyone!!!
I keep sighing--it is such a relief to finally be back in our home!! Although we still need doors on bathrooms, shades and curtains hung, rooms painted, fireplace to be completed, wood floors to be installed, driveway to be repaved, etc. etc. at least we are home sweet home. We have missed being in our own space and we are loving the feeling of "homeness," if there is such a word. The girls are currently in the kitchen baking, as they have missed this probably the most. Our clothes were delivered, since they were in storage for the past 9 months. Now we have to unpack and try on to make sure they still fit us. The chill is in the air and snow is predicted on Friday. Where have the past nine months gone?!?!? At least the snowmen that were never packed are now appropriate for the coming season. To think positively--I am now ahead of decorating!!
My heart is filled with gratitude for all the love, support, continued prayers, and gestures of kindness--all of which are big in my eyes and heart. So many have expressed their feelings of how we have endured so much in the past few years. Without the love, prayers, and our faithful hearts we could never do this on our own. I am so appreciative and no matter what our challenge, I feel extremely blessed to know all of you who read this and who love our family. Love is the strongest power and is what carries us through these difficult times.
Although there is much to do, I am reminded that one day at a time is all that matters and we will get through the chores of getting our house in order. Our past experience has taught us so many valuable lessons. As long as we continue to learn from them, accept our circumstances, and believe in God's plan, we will continue to endure and embrace our life situations.
Jaclyn is frustrated with her daily nausea and vomiting that continues to haunt her in the early morning hours. There are times when acceptance isn't what you want--to find the culprit and finally rid the problem is the ultimate goal. We continue to search, examine, and try suggestions so that Jaclyn may once again experience the feeling of wellness.
We ask that you pray for our special little friend, Elizabeth, whose recent MRI showed progression.
We love you all and celebrate everyday, The Murphys
