When the fire happened in 2018, our bedroom was one of the rooms that was most affected. The fire burned the attic bedroom right above the master, so all of the water the fire dept poured on the fire fell below in the master. Everything in my bedroom was ruined both by smoke and by…
Last week marked one year since our house fire. You know how time works….it feels like forever and it feels like it just happened. 2018 was definitely quite a year for us. From January through May we were out of our house while it was being repaired. Then it was another 5-6 months of trying…
As we reach the end of the year and reflect on all of the HUGE things that happened here at the Point, I am amazed at what God did. He unexpectedly remodeled our house, married off another daughter, added a new granddaughter to the family and grew my Young Living business. I started 2018 with…
I’ve been working my way through the house for the past few weeks, trying to show you all the newness after our house fire. I’ve shared our Harry Potter bedroom for my teenage boys, their newly remodeled tiny bathroom, the travel themed boys’ bedroom, our hipster daughter’s room and my front porch. And now we…
As we go through the house showing you all of the changes we’ve made since the house fire I wonder why I didn’t just do this stuff before. Why did it take a fire to get me to thoroughly clean out my closet or get rid of junk? It’s been so freeing to completely purge. …
Last week I showed you the upstairs boys’ bedroom (where the fire happened) and this week I’m revealing their bathroom. It’s at the bottom of the stairs that lead to their attic bedroom and it’s been completely redone. Before the fire we had a pre-fab shower in there that we had just (I mean just…
We are so, so close to getting our house finished and even starting to take some pics to share. Hopefully by this time next week I will start showing you rooms that have been completely redone and it’s exciting (to me at least). Redoing a house is one of those things that teases you. You…
So far it’s been a banner year here at the Point. Between the house fire in January and one daughter getting engaged and another having a baby and my car dying and having no fridge for months….and that’s just the highlight reel. I have hundreds of other smaller disasters happening all around me all the…
Well it’s been a while since I blogged. I discovered that I can’t live through a fire recovery AND keep up with writing. It’s one or the other. So many of y’all have reached out to me to ask how we are doing and it blesses my heart! You’re the kindest people on the planet….
It’s hard to believe that more than 6 weeks has passed since our house caught on fire. It’s one of those experiences that feels really slow and really fast at the same time. For the first few weeks it seemed like recovery was creeping along. We were lost in the jumble of decisions and how…
