In March, we moved into our house, and several times since, we have left while various work has been done on the house. Most recently, we moved out for a few projects 2 days after we got back from Baton Rouge, almost 6 weeks ago. We keep thinking that there are only 2 weeks left, but now we only say that as a joke. Work is being done there, we can see the daily progress, but more work keeps being added. They had started painting one room when they decided that they should fix all of the electrical problems before any more painting could be done because they are going to have to tear some of the walls to put in new wires.
I have referred to the house several times as the "Money Pit." This is a reference to the movie with the same name where Tom Hanks buys a big house where one problem after another is encountered, and the people working on the house always reply that it will be ready in 2 weeks. Most of the problems that we have in our house we knew about ahead of time, but it is still frustrating at times.
We are thankful for our home and the ministry that will go on there, we are also thankful to have family here that let us keep staying for another 2 more weeks. A few weeks ago, my mom made a joke that we may be a family of four before Emma Kate is born. We laughed about it then, but it is seeming much less of a joke. Here's to two more weeks, and maybe another two weeks after that.
