The saying, "it is a marathon not a sprint" is a perfect for the work that is happening at the house. Although work is continuous, my heart sank a little bit this weekend because I realized that we are not as close to the home stretch as I had hoped / thought / wanted. Dave and I are both off the week of Thanksgiving, so I saw that as a time we would come in and "finish up". The reality is there are still big things to be done - for example: we don't have a working bathroom in the house yet. And then there is the yard. Insert cry face emoji here.
On a joyful note, really great things happened around us when we were there this weekend. Next door neighbor was helping across the street neighbor change out a water pump on a truck, other next door neighbor was mowing his yard, and kids could be heard playing outside. It was the first time things seemed "normal" since the flood.
