Blissful Becky: Hello, Hardwood!!!

Oh, the glorious day has arrived! After hours & hours of hard work, cleaning dust & settling back into the swing of things again at the Myers' home, it is all done.

Let me give you a small backstory before you view the pictures! The day Jearen & I moved in, we had a flood. Due to a corroded pipe that was missed from our inspector, Jearen had to stand holding a busted pipe gushing with water for 15 minutes while I had to call the fire department to come turn off our water meter (another thing our inspector missed :/). After hours upon hours of clean up, fixing the pipe, meeting unhappy neighbors whose water was shut off thanks to us, and tired muscles & minds from having moved all day, you could easily say this home owner thing gave us a kick in the butt from Day One. We went to sleep that night with dwindled spirits and heavy hearts. Here is where it gets good. We were at church the next day, trying to share our joy of having just moved into our FIRST HOME, and our minds kept replaying the day before. A man after Worship got up on stage before our Pastor began to preach, and mentioned a new ministry he was starting for people who needed home repairs done. HELLO, DID YOU JUST HEAR ABOUT YESTERDAY?! OK GOD, WE SEE YOU!

We laughed because it could have only been God's timing. He's timing is always perfect, you know! Now here we are, several months after that day, and I feel like what the enemy intended for bad, God turned it around for good! We had plans to take the carpets out downstairs, but planned on waiting a year or so to save up for it. {Thankfully we were given a check from our insurance from the damage, so that sped up our renovation plans.}

We have been incredibly BLESSED by that man who spoke about a home repair ministry that one Sunday, Bill Kanewske. He gave several weeks of his time, hard work & labor to help make our downstairs BEAUTIFUL! I don't think we could thank him enough. Plus, we have some pretty great guys in our life who have also stopped by to help with the prep work, clean up, the whole nine yards. Again, we are BLESSED! This house just keeps getting better & better. Oh, and I should also thank my husband for all his hard work in all of this too!! He's by far the biggest blessing in MY LIFE, but I don't gotta tell ya that ;)!
