Life happens. And it continues to happen, whether you want it to or not. The day my dad passed away, it seemed very surreal to me to look around and see "life" still happening all around me. I wanted to shout out the window, "Hey, don't you all know my dad just died. Why are you just out there mowing your lawn?" I know that sounds weird, and it was to me, too. Weird and real all at the same time. Well, part of our lives that has continued is what comes next for my mom. She has decided to remodel the studio and move back in as her home. Last Friday, Travis, Jennifer (my sister), and I took it upon ourselves to remove a few walls. We are very good at knocking down, and not so good at putting back up. But, we did feel like we accomplished something that day. I gotta tell you, it was hard seeing those walls come down that my dad worked so hard to put up. But we know that's what had to happen to move on to the next step. Continue to pray for my mom and the rest of us as we deal with the "life" that continues to happen.

We have been praying for your family. I know this hasn't been an easy time for you all. Good luck on the remodeling!
I bet its gonna look great.. Just think once all the mess is cleaned up and everything is polished and put in place everyone is gonna feel so proud. I cant imagine having to kinda go through so much change in such a short time. Its like there is no time to sit still and think about what has happened. The studio is getting a makeover, things will be different and its kinda like being pushed through it so you there isnt time to focus on the thing that is causing all the change.. maybe thats a blessing though. God works in not very mysterious ways as well :) Thank God your mom has you all and you all have your mom!
