The Reinforcements Have Arrived

If you read my blog on a regular basis, you will notice that I will probably not post much this week. On Monday evening, my dad and a couple from our church in Iowa, Darrell and Georgia, arrived to help me attack the last room in the house that needs to be remodeled. The goal is to be ready for drywall by the time they leave at the end of the week. So far, they are right on schedule. (I can't believe the amount of work they accomplished today.)

They came at almost the perfect time. I was starting to slip into a bit of a distant, reclusive mood, so it has been good for me to be surrounded by people again for a while. I normally love to be right in the middle of the work projects getting my hands dirty and manning the saw. This time however, I've barely helped at all. Between watching Abigail, making meals, and running in to work at the office off and on, I've probably only helped about 10 minutes. In fact, today I was so exhausted that Abigail and I took a two hour nap in the hammock in the middle of the afternoon while everyone else worked. (Not like me at all!)

Anyway, here is a picture of dad and me at work. (I'm the headless one in the green shirt.)

Well, speaking of exhaustion, I'm off to sleep and it is only 9:45. I guess all of the 1:00am bedtimes are finally catching up to me. If you're praying for me, you can pray for a productive and safe week of work, good fellowship, and my mind and body will get the rest I need.

Good night.
