The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!! Part 3 ~ The Good

The Good ~ The Help!

Nanc Green is in the HOUSE!! Jeremy's Mom, Nancy, came on Sunday to help us out for the week. She has been an incredible blessing for our family during this time. She has kept us fed, cleaned like crazy, organized my closets and kept up our laundry. She's played board games with the boys and even walked the dog. It's also been really helpful for Jeremy to have another person who is able to help me out. We are so grateful that Nanc was able to take time off of work to be with us during this time. Thanks Nanc! My father in law Jake, just had back surgery less than 2 months ago, so we are thankful he 'lent' her to us during this time as well.

My parents were unable to 'physically' come to help us during this time. My Mom just had open heart surgery and my Dad is having knee surgery, so they are in 'recovery' mode themselves. However, they sent 'help' in their own way...a Kindle Fire! I have been able to read books, watch movies, and play games to get through the days. I have put it to great use and love it! I am so thankful for their generosity during this crazy time when I am 'couch bound'. Thanks Mom and Dad!

We have so many incredible friends! The Stenzels, some friends at our new church, Knox Prex, have coordinated meals for us for a few weeks! This list includes friends from our church and non-church friends, and we are so thankful! I have had countless emails and texts from my friends and neighbors offering help as well. We are SO thankful for our community here in Pasadena and beyond and are blessed and humbled by the outpouring of love and help from all! It truly has made all of the difference, knowing we have so many that are just a 'text' away. Many thanks and much love to all of you!
