We woke up on Friday morning to the sound of rushing water. We went downstairs into our kitchen and saw water streaming down from the ceiling. We were so confused at first. The water problem was in our basement, right? What is going on here? I ran upstairs and saw that a toilet had been overflowing while we were sleeping. We were so tired from the day before that we didn't hear the sound of the water until it was too late. We started cleaning up the water right away, but the damage had been done.
Finally, yesterday our ceiling in the kitchen started to get repaired as you can see in this picture. They will have to come back next week to finish doing the texture and paint on the ceiling of most of our first floor. The basement padding and carpet has been pulled out and our stuff is piled everywhere, our wood floors in half of the first floor are partially torn out now, and our bedroom carpet is also being torn out.
Through all of this I have been so impressed with how amazing Jennifer's attitude has been. She is now 8 months along in her pregnancy, trying to get the little girl's room set-up, and living in a construction zone. I am so impressed with her and how she is handling everything with such patience and endurance!

You married a wife of noble character. I have always observed her actions and intentions as those to be mirrored.
I agree, Jessica! I feel very blessed to be her husband!
Thanks for the note.

What a great testimony and witness to everyone watching - maybe that's why God allowed these things to go wrong! So we could all see how both of you remain so positive, eternally focused, and refuse to complain in your circumstances! Thanks for sharing, and we'll be praying God will help to smooth things out and ease the transition with little K.A. coming soon!!
My Dad used to say, "If it doesn't work under pressure, what good is it!"
Sounds like Jennifer works under pressure well! :)
Good point. I agree!
