Here is a quick update on us and I wanted to share some photos of life after the tornado.  This will probably be my last tornado related post.  Honestly, Im just getting tired of it.  Perhaps Im finally ready to move on?

We are finally living in an apartment, getting all settled in and it is starting to feel like home.  The construction on the house is well under way and it will be a much better house than it was before the tornado.  We are still praying and asking the Lord for the perfect vehicle for us.  Not perfect by the world’s standards, just perfect for our situation.  We only need it for 2 years and it needs to hold the entire family. :)  reliable on road trips would be nice too.  Anyway, keep praying with us on that and if you or someone you know has a vehicle to loan or give or sell cheaply we are interested!

Here are some pics:

I didn’t label the pics so here is a basic run down:

I took the kids to visit family the day after the tornado, they played and played, it was a nice time away from all the destruction.

We came back and I was able to catch some moments at the house when we had team after team of people flooding in to help.  One shot is of the Shelton State Basketball team.  We were amazed at the outpouring of support and help from complete strangers and good friends alike.  Thank you to all of you!!  They did everything from cutting up the enormous trees to hauling them off to reading to my children while we worked.

Julianna turned seven in the midst of all this chaos! :)  We had a fun garden party for her.

Blackberry picking with grandparents is a great way to get your mind off things!
