The Bishop's wife stopped by today to drop off a present. It was sweet of her. I really like her. We chatted for a bit before she left. I almost cried when she asked how I was doing. Mom called yesterday too to find out how I was. I haven't told anyone besides Matthew that I am dealing with PPD. I've gone from moderate to mild since school started, but this week has been a lot harder.
Anyway, the real reason I wanted to post was to dote on Peter. He had his 2 month checkup yesterday. He now weighs 11 lbs 11 oz, 23 in long, and his head is 15 in. He got three shots and an oral rotavirus vaccine. He ended up sleeping the rest of the day so last night was a little rough.
The day before though was amazing. He nursed every two hours, went to bed/asleep about 11:30 and didn't wake up until 4:00 or 4:30. He woke me up by thumping his legs on his bed. Normally he wakes up by the time I need to take the boys to school but he had to be woken up.
I think he will be close to rolling from back to tummy soon. The leg thumping is him bringing his legs up and then dropping them down, but that is the movement he uses to go to his side. He can get there relatively easily, it will be a matter of time before he makes it all the way over.
The other thing he really enjoys doing is going from laying down to sitting to standing - especially standing. Well, today Matthew taught him real sit ups. He LOVES it! I even video'd him trying to do them. You can see him straining his muscles trying to do it. And when we tell him to lay down he flings himself backwards. It's amazing and so cute - but I think he will be quite the wiggle worm soon!

We are getting ready to switch out our phones so I'm trying to do a data recovery effort. These are texts that I have kept on my phone:
Sent to:
Matthew 6-13-14 10;52 am Took Aaron to doctor. He has pneumonia. Getting antibiotics and probiotics
Matthew 4/28/14 12:53 pm Jared passed out for about 15 minutes. Looked up peds to get him looked at. Not sure if it counts as a seizure or not but that is a serious side effect of his meds.
Brent, Jenna, Mark, Mike, Sharon, Tran 2/11/14 9:41 pm The y is strong in this family. We are having another boy.
Matthew 12/03/13 1:52 pm Heard heartbeat!
Mom, Dad 12/05/12 2:45 pm I am in the bathroom just a min
Julie 11/27/12 4:46 pm I am going to cry. Jared got all his writing done at school. He came home and all on his own worked on his homework. What usually takes all night he has done in maybe 20 min. He still has 5 problems to go but got distracted by the computer when Aaron needed help. I think he has earned the break but want him to finish before the meds are completely out of his system.
Julie 11/26/12 6:10 pm 5 mg adderol starting tomorrow for Jared.
Brent 11/09/12 11:02 am Oh yeah the boys are in heaven :) and I need about 200 bucks to invest in snow gear so they don't freeze themselves to death playing in it :p
Mark 11/01/12 12:56 pm :) We think that probably roads have been cleared enough we could make it but gas would be the big concern. I also need to be here on Sun for primary program practice since we are singing as a fam
Megan Myers 10/31/12 6:31 pm No kidding! But how could I not be ok when I have so many people praying for us? :) We have been greatly blessed for sure.
Jenna 10/31/12 1:30 pm Talked to the neighbor. It could be as late as the 9th or as early as this fri. I have a feeling it will be 2 more days but we will see.
Melissa Freer 10/31/12 12:31 pm I have no idea how long it will take. It came on yesterday morning for about 10 min then went off again but there was a down line on the street next to us so that is probably why. Yesterday it was in the low 50s and today it is supposed to be in the low 40s so it is getting colder but it is still bearable.
Mark 10/29/12 10:46 pm Thanks. We are too :) we will see how the night plays out. So far the worst thing is having to take the dog out to pee though he has refused to go the last hour. Hope he makes it all night.
Mark 10/29/12 10:43 pm We are still fine. We lost power about 6:30 but Matthew has a battery that we have lights plugged in to so that has helped plus the stove is gas so we can still cook. It is mostly a lot of wind not much rain.
Dad 10/29/12 7:40 pm They were scared of the dark but Matthew pulled out his battery and plugged in the lamp so they are fine now.
Dad 10/29/12 6:38 pm Power just went out. Wind picked up. Here we go!
Mom 10/29/12 6:02 pm Are you serious?! Mom! Glad you are fine. It is windy but ok still
Brent 10/29/12 1:22 pm Yeah. Mom and Mark think I should head to NC but I don't want to be driving right now.
Brent 10/29/12 1:13 pm Yep. We are about an hour from Philadelphia and 20 min from the Delaware River which it is projected to follow. This should be fun ;)
Julie 10/27/12 10:12 pm Jared was a ninja and Aaron as a pea shooter. No one knew who he was and they thought Jared was a burglar. No very many adults dressed up either.
Julie 10/27/12 10:08 pm Tonight was our trunk r treat. It was not the same. Miss you.
Mom 10/24/12 10:49 pm Glad you are ok. Exciting night for you :)
Mike 10/24/12 10:47 pm Thanks for letting me know. Glad she is ok though I am sure she is pretty shaken up.
Mom 10/20/12 9:45 am Aaron just realized he is missing his gobbles - turkey. He is very sad.
Matthew 10/18/12 3:13 pm No school tomorrow. Antibiotics it is.
Matthew 10/18/12 2:09 pm Got Jared a 2:50 appt at the tricare doctor
Matthew 10/14/12 2:26 pm Good since that was what I was expecting from your pt score ;)
Matthew 10/14/12 1:59 pm LOL ok. I had read that as 430 of course so I was trying to figure if it took you 4 min or 4 hours. Good work! 17 was the limit right?
Julie 10/12/12 5:41 pm I first think about calling after the boys leave for school which ends up as the same thing for you so I want to wait a bit to give you a chance to breathe and then I get busy and the next I know kids are home :/ I am mostly doing well. How are you doing?
Julie 10/12/12 5:01 pm You have been on my mind a lot lately but I feel like it is never a good time to call :(
Matthew 10/11/12 5:33 pm Well at least we had lunch together
Melinda 9/29/12 6:15 pm Oops. Well at least you can watch it online later :)
Julie 9/7/12 12:48 am I bet so. She was a good teacher. I want to keep talking but Matthew is ready to sleep now. I will try to call you tomorrow.
Julie 9/7/12 12:45 am She needs to bribe him with candy :)
Julie 9/7/12 12:44 am Poor guy. Poor you. I was surprised you put him in this year. I thought you would have waited.
Julie 9/7/12 12:38 am Ok. Is Taylor getting any better after school?
Julie 9/7/12 12:36 am Matthew needed to decompress though I wanted to go to sleep an hour ago. Do we need to send you one straight to you?
Julie 9/7/12 12:30 am Oh dear. I wonder why they didn't give it to you.
Julie 9/7/12 9:53 pm Did you get our check at the closing?
Melissa Freer 9/4/12 10:03 pm You were just so excited about each other I am sad for you. Are these other guys from the site too?
Sharon 9/3/12 7:28 pm This is in New York. We are settling in ok. I am starting to figure out my way around town though it is still a little intimidating. I am def not ready to navigate my way around new york by myself. It is hard to believe we have been here 3 Sundays already. How is Brian liking his new teacher?
Dad 9/3/12 5:28 pm Yep they were in central park
Sara Christiansen 9/3/12 I don't know if you can read it but it is the directors guild of america
Mom 9/3/12 4:23 pm King of the rock. The rocks are in central park.
Mom 9/3/12 4:22 pm We are in New York.
Dad 9/3/12 Not quite the rockies but we'll take it.
Sharon 9/3/12 Found Wicked on Broadway
Sara Cansen 9/3/12 1:54 pm Thought you would like that. If I could I would have bought you something and sent it your way.
Sara Cansen 9/3/12 This makes me think of you (moustache display)
Julie 9/2/12 8:20 pm Aw thanks! Jared has been wanting to see more pics of the house so this is great. We completely filled the living room here with our stuff and had one week to get it emptied. We mostly did it but it was a lot of work.
Mark 8/29/12 8:41 pm Well we don't start school until the 6th so I thought it would be nice to take a trip down but with all the other people coming and going I am not sure if there is a way to coordinate it.
Dad The pond behind our house on the walking trail to the church
Matthew After complaining about not wanting to go to the library, I think we have some satisfied customers. First time card holders. (pic of WW library train)
Mom 8/16/12 6:35 pm This is the longest 5 hours ever! Still in Penn. Ugh
Jaclyn 8/16/12 2:11 pm Thanks! We are in Penn about 3 and a half hours from our destination. So ready to be done :)
Dad, Mom 8/16/12 11:02 am From julie: Good news!!! The house met appraisal and there is no inspection required! Moving forward!
Julie 8/16/12 11:01 am I am looking forward to not having to get up and driving
Julie 8/16/12 10:59 am No I was up 3 hours ago. It is just taking that long to get on the road.
Julie 8/16/12 10:56 am West Stanton Pa. We have about 5 hours ahead of us. We haven't left from the hotel yet.
Julie 8/16/12 10:54 am I was hoping that was what that msg was going to say
Dad 8/16/12 9:04 am Nope. And we actually get to see the scenery now.
Dad 8/16/12 8:26 am Good morning from West Stanton Pa. We have about a 5 hour drive left. I am the only one awake right now so we will probably head out about 10 again.
Mom Baugh 8/16/12 8:19 am Yes :) I wished it weren't dark when we drove through west VA. I could tell there was some great scenery we were missing.
Melissa Hoffer 8/16/12 12:06 am Yeah he has. It is crazy. (response to pic of Jared in front of PA sign)
Julie 8/15/12 11:55 pm You are awesome. Thanks :)
Matthew 8/15/12 11:51 pm Let me know what you figure out. Barely got a spot and with aaron asleep don't want to get out.
Mom 8/15/12 8:31 pm On the other side of columbus ohio
Julie 8/15/12 5:53 pm ok. Oops I should have left the drop clothes. I think I threw them away. There is the mud in the garage for the crack but they probably do need some tape too.
Julie 8/15/12 5:48 pm Did you paint today? Is the stuff still there? I am scheduling the pickup and need to tell them how much there is.
Mom 8/15/12 5:11 pm :) We are almost to columbus now
Melissa Freer 8/15/12 3:56 pm It is long and tedious. Can't wait for it to be over. Unfortunately we will probably have one more day of it.
Mom Baugh 8/15/12 3:54 pm It is ok :) So many things to relearn as we blend back together.
Mom Baugh 8/15/12 3:51 pm That would have been good advice for the travel scheduler...
Dad 8/15/12 3:05 pm Where is the time change? Do you know?
Mom Baugh 8/15/12 11:25 am Both and not well timed stops. One time we stopped for a potty break then for gas 20 minutes later and both stops took a lot of time.
Mom, etc 8/15/12 9:34 am Headed out. Will probably stop somewhere in Penn.
Dad, Mom, Mom Baugh 8/15/12 12:46 am Stopped at a hotel in Greenville, Illinois
Dad, etc 8/14/12 9:30 pm We are about 80 miles from St. Louis. I think visiting Stephen has been taken off the list.
Tran 8/14/12 1:59 pm :) It is hard isn't it? Well we are off so I will text later.
Tran 8/14/12 1:51 pm Thanks :) Did you get everything moved in yesterday?
Tran 8/14/12 1:45 pm Long! We have just left for the day and still have a 10 hour drive ahead.
Dad 8/14/12 12:09 pm On the road
Julie 8/14/12 9:40 am I left your lock in the pantry
Julie 8/14/12 9:33 am :( Just wait til you go to the house... It is surreal to see it so empty. Which by the way there is a pile of stuff labeled for people but it can just be taken to the church probably.
Julie 8/14/12 9:26 am How funny about your dream. I think painting is a great idea. I think I moved the paint to the garage. There is one that has a tiny bit and one unopened. The white is in my bathroom. Utilities are on til closing. I did turn the ac up so it wouldn't run much.
Dad, Mom 8/13/12 4:47 pm We are in Cushing, OK which is 20 min from Mary's
Dad, Mom 8/13/12 12:19 pm We have just left the great state of Texas, welcome to OK, the Sooner state.
Julie 8/13/12 9:24 am Thanks. We can use all the prayers. Can I call you and talk while I drive?
Julie 8/13/12 9:23 am I know. I wish I could help you move.
Dad, Mom 8/13/12 7:59 am We just passed exit 21. we are about 30 miles from Fort Worth.
Matthew 8/9/12 9:36 am I think I may have a nervous breakdown before this is all over.
Julie 8/6/12 9:46 pm You, woman, are the most amazing friend ever!!!
Jaclyn 8/6/12 5:51 pm Unless you were up for a late dinner I don't think I will have a chance tonight. We are into hard core pack mode. Thank you for being willing though.
Haley Hinojosa 8/4/12 7:16 pm I only speak the truth. It will prob be about 7:45 when I get there
Matthew 8/4/12 2:58 pm Did you have your test today?
Josh 7/22/12 9:59 pm Ok. My phone is almost dead so I will call from a different number.
Josh 7/22/12 9:57 pm We probably ought to finish our earlier conversation but I just laid down with the boys to put them to bed and would need to wait to talk.
Josh 7/20/12 1:22 pm Ok. I talked to someone at the credit union and they do closings at the branch. All they need is a notary and they always have one on location so closing on Sat isn't an issue and sellers are typically not present at the closing. So my guess is it won't matter if we are already gone.
Matthew 7/20/12 1:07 pm I just heard from RBFCU and our loan has been approved! Unfortunately, the loan officer doesn't think the 10th is realistic. He says the 17th is better.
Josh 7/20/12 1:06 pm Yay! Did you happen to ask about a saturday closing?
Josh 7/19/12 9:00 pm When you get a chance will you give me a call. I have a few things I want to talk to you about.
Matthew 7/19/12 3:15 pm Ok. Probably the sig page isn't enough...
Matthew 7/18/12 The wettest Chickfila event yet. If you are already wet from the rain you might as well play in it. (pic of boys with pool)
Matthew 7/18/12 7:15 am woohoo #55
Matthew 7/17/12 7:02 pm Talked to realtor. We don't owe anything.
Julie, Matthew 7/17/12 1:30 pm I just found the key to our u-haul lock! Yay!
Josh 7/17/12 7:06 am, fwd to Matthew 7/17/12 7:19 am Some questions: you still need 2% for closing? Will the lack of carpet in the closet be a problem for the loan? And if we do have to put carpet for it, will that amount come out of the allowance?
Matthew 7/17/12 7:07 am (fwd from Josh) I will also cover the cost of the engineering report.
fwd to Matthew 7/17/12 6:49 am Valerie, I have a revised offer. 73K w/ 2k carpet allowance AND we'll take the house as is -- no more repairs or painting. Let me know. - Josh
Josh 7/16/12 9:51 pm Are you still up or is it too late to call?
Elizardos 7/10/12 2:12 pm Closing costs are about 10 - 20 % of the selling price. Would you guys be able to come up with the 7-8K?
Matthew 7/9/12 6:16 pm Showing the house to another family at 7
Julie 7/9/12 3:31 pm How did Josh's house hunt go? I called a realtor and she is coming wed morning.
Mark 7/9/12 9:28 am I guess now that there is another v in the family I can pass all my initialed niceties to her
Received txts
Laralin 8/21/14 4:53 pm So I thought I should tell you this in the middle of the night but of course no cell service for me. Be confident and KNOW that you are a GREAT mother to your children. You were hand-picked to be their mother and you are a wonderful fit for them. Okay. That's all. I love you.
Dad 8/8/14 9:28 pm Glad you came down. Love you
Jaclyn 8/8/14 7:05 am Safe travels, friend. Thank you (and Peter) for carving out time to bless me :D (((Hugs)))
Laralin 8/4/14 1:56 pm I got the job!!!
Jaclyn 7/30/14 4:28 pm I just read your FB msg and literally gasped!
Dad 7/30/14 10:05 am Tell Aaron that grandpa is happy because I'll be able to see him again about 2:45
Dad 7/30/14 8:12 am Good morning, Val. You little sneaker!! Talk about surprises. Welcome home to Texas!
Matthew 7/15/14 3:34 pm Submitted all the travel vouchers.
Matthew 7/2/14 9:31 am Are you up yet?
Sharon W 6/30/14 11:49 am Yay!!!!! Can't wait to see the sweet guy! :D missing you wish I could give you a hug and him a snuggle!
Melinda 6/30/14 11:45 am I can't wait to make him smile
Melissa H 6/30/14 11:44 am Yay! Congrats momma! I hope it was everything you had hoped! I am sure he is amazing! And he decided to have his own month, just barely!
Laralin 6/29/14 5:46 pm I'm getting so excited for you to meet your new son, Thing 3.
Laralin 6/29/14 5:45 pm Hi. Is your bun still in the oven?
Laralin 6/1/14 10:23 am Happy birthday, my lovely, wonderful, and dearest friend! I love you.
Laralin 5/26/14 3:27 pm My new meds are working wonders.
Laralin 5/26/14 3:26 pm I'm good. My head is clearing. I went shopping and bought basically a new wardrobe because my mom gave me money to. Because she saw the pic of my face on fb and said I looked thinner. So I told her how I lost a bunch of weight. And the wearable clothes were falling off on bottom and hanging on top. And my work shoes split in half on the bottom all the way through. And stuff that sort of fit were torn and stained and not presentable. And I wasn't trying to get money from her, but she offered. So I hit memorial day sales. And I finally envisioned how to arrange my apt and have been cleaning and rearranging and purging this weekend. Still a ways to go, but there's direction, motivation, a specific goal, energy, and progress to be pleased with.
Laralin 5/26/14 2:44 pm I love you, my beautiful friend! You are incredibly special in general but especially to me as well.
Tammy 4/4/14 7:03 pm Sounds lovely! I was there in spirit & didn't even know it :)
Tammy 4/4/14 6:55 pm Just thinking abt u. Hope everything is going well... I know moves r difficult. Wish I was there. I'd love to help u get ready 4 the BIG day. I am so happy u'll b closer! HUGS!
Matthew 3/31/14 1:00 pm Orders published
Jaclyn 3/12/14 8:19 am I'm so excited for you!!! I know you and your family are where you are meant however, for selfish reasons, I wish you were near. Know I'm supporting you thru prayer and wish I was there to do more.
Jaclyn 3/12/14 8:13 am "heavenly homemakers" is also useful
Jaclyn 3/12 14 8:12 am "The healthy home economist' is a really great blog. Lots of info on coconut oil in case you have interest.
Jaclyn 3/10/14 2:25 pm Shut your mouth!!!! Congratulations!!!! I just read the post.
Matthew 3/6/14 8:42 am Can you talk?
Rosana 3/4/14 9:49 am Valerie - thank you for your testimony on Sunday. It really touched my soul. - Rosana
Melinda 2/8/14 12:02 pm I miss you
Laralin 1/4/14 12:03 pm Hi Val. Just thinking about you because I just read your blog about 2013 goals. I think it is pretty great that you tried to keep every goal even if you haven't accomplished all of them yet. So keep it up. :)
Dad 12/24/13 9:17 pm Got the calendar. Congratulations
Julie 12/19/13 11:03 am By the way, I miss you.
Tammy 12/19/13 9:57 am U r such an AMAZING FRIEND! Just wanted u 2 know how much I love u!
Laralin 9/28/13 4:31 pm Hey Val! Great job! You're amazing and I love you.
Laralin 9/4/13 7:23 pm Hey. I love you and you're awesome. Don't go forgetting these things.
Jaclyn 8/29/13 12:24 pm I just read and installed an app called PaceDJ. It allows you to measure your comfortable pace then it calculates what music has a certain beats per minute
Jaclyn 8/28/13 7:31 pm The last 3 minutes of the second run were the toughest for me. I kept saying in my head "I can do ALL things thru Christ who strengthens me". Lol
Jaclyn 8/28/13 3:26 pm I'm really proud of you! I wondered how it went... :S Haven't gone yet. Giving myself the next hour to mentally prepare. The last one was tough for me to get thru. I'm no where near a 10 minute mile.
Jaclyn 8/26/13 8:31 am God is SO good to us! Really. We have the luxury of being able to run this morning. We are prepared and totally have this!
Jaclyn 8/26/13 8:29 am I remind myself how awesome it is that I GET to run! I'm Thankful for my legs. Some people wish they were in our position this morning.
Jaclyn 8/26/13 8:28 am I'm going to encourage you to NOT think about the time. Think about your day, the boys, how awesome you are, how healthy your heart is becoming, your strong lungs...
Jaclyn 8/20/13 12:26 pm 1) I'm so proud of you!!! 2) I miss you! 3) I haven't jogged since Saturday
Mike 7/25/13 9:00 am Genevieve Lorraine was born at 7:50 am on July 25. Weighing 7 lbs 9 oz and 19/25 inches long
Kim 5/5/13 7:09 pm Hi Val it's Kim, just reaching out to you. We're moving along with the house, so just wanted to see if you selected the other place. I'm re-listing the house, but thought I'd touch base with u
Melissa F 4/25/13 7:15 pm I am pregnant
Laralin 3/27/13 6:36 pm You are a reason I feel loved, special, and smile. So happy you are my dear friend. Random but wanted to tell you anyway.
Laralin 3/13/13 6:55 pm *hugs* I know you're going through something rough right now. If you want/need to discuss, I'm available. I love you dearly.
Laralin 3/4/13 6:14 pm Oh Val. I love you and want to make sure you remember. I hope you had a great Monday.
Laralin 1/10/13 10:44 am Sorry you're sick today. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Try to rest as much as possible. If you over do it, the illness could linger. I love you.
Mark 12/31/12 8:32 pm wow - good time. Thanks for coming.

Mark 12/24/12 5:51 pm Eliza - pink, Camille - purple, Vivi - indifferent
Julie 12/19/12 2:30 pm So, I am doing fine. Last week I was more upset. I guess I am glad it is going to be more the slow process than sudden.
Julie 12/19/12 2:09 pm Thanks for your message. I like friends. I miss you.
Mike 11/30/12 1:46 pm That's good that you all are doing ok. How's the house sharing? We're doing alright. Tran's almost done with the semester, and my busy season is almost over. So we're tired. We miss you and the boys. And I know mom does too.
Julie 11/26/12 5:28 pm good luck. i hope it works really well.
Julie 11/26/12 5:24 pm whew. starting with the big drug.

Ranita 11/6/12 12:07 pm Ranita Cheruvu, Srinath Chavali
Matthew 11/2/12 11:00 am Power is back on.
Megan M 10/31/12 4:29 pm So glad to hear you are safe. You had so many of us worried. What a way the north east welcomes you on your first year!
Melinda 10/31/12 1:49 pm I was thinking of u, glad everything is ok
Mom 10/31/12 1:21 pm I guess if the school has power the boys would be ok there even if you don't have power.
Mom 10/31/12 11:44 am Wow. Will school be canceled that long? Was Matthew able to make out to Philly?
Jessica S 10/31/12 11:27 am You have been in my prayers these couple days. Been checking facebook. Thanks for the update!
Jenna 10/31/12 11:24 am Hope your power comes on soon! glad to hear all is well otherwise! love you!
Julie 10/31/12 11:23 am Hey Valerie! i am glad you are ok. everyone was worried.
Melissa F 10/31/12 10:00 am Yay! Miss you bunches. When do they think you will have power? Is it cold?
Sharon W 10/31/12 9:46 am I'm SOOO glad you guys made it through safely!!! Sorry about the power though. Are the kids back to school yet?
Matthew 10/31/12 7:11 am Sgt Babb. She said it's ok to charge battery.
Mom 10/31/12 4:26 pm Is Matthew still home too? How many more days does every one expect to be off?
Mom 10/31/12 4:23 pm Have you got any water storage?
Mike 10/31/12 6:51 am Glad to hear it. Hopefully it is done and it's not just the eye.
Mom B 10/31/12 6:47 am That among other things. Nehi got out and was killed but I didn't find him until a week ago (on tues) when he started to smell from under the porch. And also on last tues. someone texted me that he has left two "little cats" in one of my carriers on my porch. Read that 2 - 2 wk old kittens with severe eye infections. Now, granted, Otis found them by the road just down the street and knew their eyes were matted, but they were contagious and in immediate need of vet care, not to mention too young to even lap milk. One died Sunday but the other is getting better in general, but her eyes still look so bad that I wonder if she has sight in them. I have her in isolation in the bathroom. The whole thing smacks of such overwhelming inconsideration. Now, if I had found them, I might possibly have brought them home, but if I had, it would have been my choice. This isn't as though someone had dumped healthy independent kittens on me. I have to seriously wonder if people even think. The pickup's heater also went out but someone at church replaced the switch and fixed it. The week imploded. I will be glad when I get my hot water back.
Mark 10/31/12 6:13 am Does that mean you're for sure coming on Thursday?
Mark 10/31/12 6:09 am Glad everything is okay.Bummer that you didn't make it down here though.
Mom B 10/30/12 6:05 am Good. Glad it isn't too bad. My gas has been out for at least a week. I discovered it out last Tues when I ran a tub of cold bathwater. That was the shortest bath in history. The utility people need to mark the lines and the repair guy is planning to run a new gas line on Thurs. The insurance doesn't cover the repair because the collapsed line is considered normal wear and tear.
Jaclyn 10/30/12 5:59 am Phew! I'm relieved. Thank you for the update!!! Sending prayers and love
Brent 10/30/12 5:40 am That's cool. After about a week we ended up staying with some friends for a week and a half. Hope the river doesn't overflow too bad to get you. Brent
Brent 10/30/12 5:25 am :) yes. We had to use a camp stove.
Brent 10/30/12 5:22 am Me too. That sucked when we were out for two weeks.

Mom 10/29/12 9:17 pm Love you. Be safe will pray for your safety.
Mom 10/29/12 9:15 pm Looks like from the website it is between Chester & Clamont SW of Philadelphia.
Mom 10/29/12 9:09 pm NY city had shutdown. They said for New Yorkers to stay in their homes if it is safe and not to evacuate - it is too late for that.
Mom 10/29/12 9:06 pm South of Atlantic City, nj
Mark 10/29/12 8:43 pm Good to hear; glad you're safe.
Mark 10/29/12 8:25 pm Hope you're doing okay. Do you still have power?
Mom 10/29/12 3:46 pm How is the weather? Is it pretty windy? I wrecked dads car today but we are ok.
Julie 10/27/12 9:30 pm nobody was a zombie?
Julie 10/27/12 7:16 pm I thought of you today when i watched the 1996 jane eyre. and i am thinking of you now, as i see your dad counting attendance at stake conference

Matthew 6-13-14 10;52 am Took Aaron to doctor. He has pneumonia. Getting antibiotics and probiotics
Matthew 4/28/14 12:53 pm Jared passed out for about 15 minutes. Looked up peds to get him looked at. Not sure if it counts as a seizure or not but that is a serious side effect of his meds.
Brent, Jenna, Mark, Mike, Sharon, Tran 2/11/14 9:41 pm The y is strong in this family. We are having another boy.
Matthew 12/03/13 1:52 pm Heard heartbeat!
Mom, Dad 12/05/12 2:45 pm I am in the bathroom just a min
Julie 11/27/12 4:46 pm I am going to cry. Jared got all his writing done at school. He came home and all on his own worked on his homework. What usually takes all night he has done in maybe 20 min. He still has 5 problems to go but got distracted by the computer when Aaron needed help. I think he has earned the break but want him to finish before the meds are completely out of his system.
Julie 11/26/12 6:10 pm 5 mg adderol starting tomorrow for Jared.
Brent 11/09/12 11:02 am Oh yeah the boys are in heaven :) and I need about 200 bucks to invest in snow gear so they don't freeze themselves to death playing in it :p
Mark 11/01/12 12:56 pm :) We think that probably roads have been cleared enough we could make it but gas would be the big concern. I also need to be here on Sun for primary program practice since we are singing as a fam
Megan Myers 10/31/12 6:31 pm No kidding! But how could I not be ok when I have so many people praying for us? :) We have been greatly blessed for sure.
Jenna 10/31/12 1:30 pm Talked to the neighbor. It could be as late as the 9th or as early as this fri. I have a feeling it will be 2 more days but we will see.
Melissa Freer 10/31/12 12:31 pm I have no idea how long it will take. It came on yesterday morning for about 10 min then went off again but there was a down line on the street next to us so that is probably why. Yesterday it was in the low 50s and today it is supposed to be in the low 40s so it is getting colder but it is still bearable.
Mark 10/29/12 10:46 pm Thanks. We are too :) we will see how the night plays out. So far the worst thing is having to take the dog out to pee though he has refused to go the last hour. Hope he makes it all night.
Mark 10/29/12 10:43 pm We are still fine. We lost power about 6:30 but Matthew has a battery that we have lights plugged in to so that has helped plus the stove is gas so we can still cook. It is mostly a lot of wind not much rain.
Dad 10/29/12 7:40 pm They were scared of the dark but Matthew pulled out his battery and plugged in the lamp so they are fine now.
Dad 10/29/12 6:38 pm Power just went out. Wind picked up. Here we go!
Mom 10/29/12 6:02 pm Are you serious?! Mom! Glad you are fine. It is windy but ok still
Brent 10/29/12 1:22 pm Yeah. Mom and Mark think I should head to NC but I don't want to be driving right now.
Brent 10/29/12 1:13 pm Yep. We are about an hour from Philadelphia and 20 min from the Delaware River which it is projected to follow. This should be fun ;)
Julie 10/27/12 10:12 pm Jared was a ninja and Aaron as a pea shooter. No one knew who he was and they thought Jared was a burglar. No very many adults dressed up either.
Julie 10/27/12 10:08 pm Tonight was our trunk r treat. It was not the same. Miss you.
Mom 10/24/12 10:49 pm Glad you are ok. Exciting night for you :)
Mike 10/24/12 10:47 pm Thanks for letting me know. Glad she is ok though I am sure she is pretty shaken up.
Mom 10/20/12 9:45 am Aaron just realized he is missing his gobbles - turkey. He is very sad.
Matthew 10/18/12 3:13 pm No school tomorrow. Antibiotics it is.
Matthew 10/18/12 2:09 pm Got Jared a 2:50 appt at the tricare doctor
Matthew 10/14/12 2:26 pm Good since that was what I was expecting from your pt score ;)
Matthew 10/14/12 1:59 pm LOL ok. I had read that as 430 of course so I was trying to figure if it took you 4 min or 4 hours. Good work! 17 was the limit right?
Julie 10/12/12 5:41 pm I first think about calling after the boys leave for school which ends up as the same thing for you so I want to wait a bit to give you a chance to breathe and then I get busy and the next I know kids are home :/ I am mostly doing well. How are you doing?
Julie 10/12/12 5:01 pm You have been on my mind a lot lately but I feel like it is never a good time to call :(
Matthew 10/11/12 5:33 pm Well at least we had lunch together
Melinda 9/29/12 6:15 pm Oops. Well at least you can watch it online later :)
Julie 9/7/12 12:48 am I bet so. She was a good teacher. I want to keep talking but Matthew is ready to sleep now. I will try to call you tomorrow.
Julie 9/7/12 12:45 am She needs to bribe him with candy :)
Julie 9/7/12 12:44 am Poor guy. Poor you. I was surprised you put him in this year. I thought you would have waited.
Julie 9/7/12 12:38 am Ok. Is Taylor getting any better after school?
Julie 9/7/12 12:36 am Matthew needed to decompress though I wanted to go to sleep an hour ago. Do we need to send you one straight to you?
Julie 9/7/12 12:30 am Oh dear. I wonder why they didn't give it to you.
Julie 9/7/12 9:53 pm Did you get our check at the closing?
Melissa Freer 9/4/12 10:03 pm You were just so excited about each other I am sad for you. Are these other guys from the site too?
Sharon 9/3/12 7:28 pm This is in New York. We are settling in ok. I am starting to figure out my way around town though it is still a little intimidating. I am def not ready to navigate my way around new york by myself. It is hard to believe we have been here 3 Sundays already. How is Brian liking his new teacher?
Dad 9/3/12 5:28 pm Yep they were in central park
Sara Christiansen 9/3/12 I don't know if you can read it but it is the directors guild of america
Mom 9/3/12 4:23 pm King of the rock. The rocks are in central park.
Mom 9/3/12 4:22 pm We are in New York.
Dad 9/3/12 Not quite the rockies but we'll take it.
Sharon 9/3/12 Found Wicked on Broadway
Sara Cansen 9/3/12 1:54 pm Thought you would like that. If I could I would have bought you something and sent it your way.
Sara Cansen 9/3/12 This makes me think of you (moustache display)
Julie 9/2/12 8:20 pm Aw thanks! Jared has been wanting to see more pics of the house so this is great. We completely filled the living room here with our stuff and had one week to get it emptied. We mostly did it but it was a lot of work.
Mark 8/29/12 8:41 pm Well we don't start school until the 6th so I thought it would be nice to take a trip down but with all the other people coming and going I am not sure if there is a way to coordinate it.
Dad The pond behind our house on the walking trail to the church
Matthew After complaining about not wanting to go to the library, I think we have some satisfied customers. First time card holders. (pic of WW library train)
Mom 8/16/12 6:35 pm This is the longest 5 hours ever! Still in Penn. Ugh
Jaclyn 8/16/12 2:11 pm Thanks! We are in Penn about 3 and a half hours from our destination. So ready to be done :)
Dad, Mom 8/16/12 11:02 am From julie: Good news!!! The house met appraisal and there is no inspection required! Moving forward!
Julie 8/16/12 11:01 am I am looking forward to not having to get up and driving
Julie 8/16/12 10:59 am No I was up 3 hours ago. It is just taking that long to get on the road.
Julie 8/16/12 10:56 am West Stanton Pa. We have about 5 hours ahead of us. We haven't left from the hotel yet.
Julie 8/16/12 10:54 am I was hoping that was what that msg was going to say
Dad 8/16/12 9:04 am Nope. And we actually get to see the scenery now.
Dad 8/16/12 8:26 am Good morning from West Stanton Pa. We have about a 5 hour drive left. I am the only one awake right now so we will probably head out about 10 again.
Mom Baugh 8/16/12 8:19 am Yes :) I wished it weren't dark when we drove through west VA. I could tell there was some great scenery we were missing.
Melissa Hoffer 8/16/12 12:06 am Yeah he has. It is crazy. (response to pic of Jared in front of PA sign)
Julie 8/15/12 11:55 pm You are awesome. Thanks :)
Matthew 8/15/12 11:51 pm Let me know what you figure out. Barely got a spot and with aaron asleep don't want to get out.
Mom 8/15/12 8:31 pm On the other side of columbus ohio
Julie 8/15/12 5:53 pm ok. Oops I should have left the drop clothes. I think I threw them away. There is the mud in the garage for the crack but they probably do need some tape too.
Julie 8/15/12 5:48 pm Did you paint today? Is the stuff still there? I am scheduling the pickup and need to tell them how much there is.
Mom 8/15/12 5:11 pm :) We are almost to columbus now
Melissa Freer 8/15/12 3:56 pm It is long and tedious. Can't wait for it to be over. Unfortunately we will probably have one more day of it.
Mom Baugh 8/15/12 3:54 pm It is ok :) So many things to relearn as we blend back together.
Mom Baugh 8/15/12 3:51 pm That would have been good advice for the travel scheduler...
Dad 8/15/12 3:05 pm Where is the time change? Do you know?
Mom Baugh 8/15/12 11:25 am Both and not well timed stops. One time we stopped for a potty break then for gas 20 minutes later and both stops took a lot of time.
Mom, etc 8/15/12 9:34 am Headed out. Will probably stop somewhere in Penn.
Dad, Mom, Mom Baugh 8/15/12 12:46 am Stopped at a hotel in Greenville, Illinois
Dad, etc 8/14/12 9:30 pm We are about 80 miles from St. Louis. I think visiting Stephen has been taken off the list.
Tran 8/14/12 1:59 pm :) It is hard isn't it? Well we are off so I will text later.
Tran 8/14/12 1:51 pm Thanks :) Did you get everything moved in yesterday?
Tran 8/14/12 1:45 pm Long! We have just left for the day and still have a 10 hour drive ahead.
Dad 8/14/12 12:09 pm On the road
Julie 8/14/12 9:40 am I left your lock in the pantry
Julie 8/14/12 9:33 am :( Just wait til you go to the house... It is surreal to see it so empty. Which by the way there is a pile of stuff labeled for people but it can just be taken to the church probably.
Julie 8/14/12 9:26 am How funny about your dream. I think painting is a great idea. I think I moved the paint to the garage. There is one that has a tiny bit and one unopened. The white is in my bathroom. Utilities are on til closing. I did turn the ac up so it wouldn't run much.
Dad, Mom 8/13/12 4:47 pm We are in Cushing, OK which is 20 min from Mary's
Dad, Mom 8/13/12 12:19 pm We have just left the great state of Texas, welcome to OK, the Sooner state.
Julie 8/13/12 9:24 am Thanks. We can use all the prayers. Can I call you and talk while I drive?
Julie 8/13/12 9:23 am I know. I wish I could help you move.
Dad, Mom 8/13/12 7:59 am We just passed exit 21. we are about 30 miles from Fort Worth.
Matthew 8/9/12 9:36 am I think I may have a nervous breakdown before this is all over.
Julie 8/6/12 9:46 pm You, woman, are the most amazing friend ever!!!
Jaclyn 8/6/12 5:51 pm Unless you were up for a late dinner I don't think I will have a chance tonight. We are into hard core pack mode. Thank you for being willing though.
Haley Hinojosa 8/4/12 7:16 pm I only speak the truth. It will prob be about 7:45 when I get there
Matthew 8/4/12 2:58 pm Did you have your test today?
Josh 7/22/12 9:59 pm Ok. My phone is almost dead so I will call from a different number.
Josh 7/22/12 9:57 pm We probably ought to finish our earlier conversation but I just laid down with the boys to put them to bed and would need to wait to talk.
Josh 7/20/12 1:22 pm Ok. I talked to someone at the credit union and they do closings at the branch. All they need is a notary and they always have one on location so closing on Sat isn't an issue and sellers are typically not present at the closing. So my guess is it won't matter if we are already gone.
Matthew 7/20/12 1:07 pm I just heard from RBFCU and our loan has been approved! Unfortunately, the loan officer doesn't think the 10th is realistic. He says the 17th is better.
Josh 7/20/12 1:06 pm Yay! Did you happen to ask about a saturday closing?
Josh 7/19/12 9:00 pm When you get a chance will you give me a call. I have a few things I want to talk to you about.
Matthew 7/19/12 3:15 pm Ok. Probably the sig page isn't enough...
Matthew 7/18/12 The wettest Chickfila event yet. If you are already wet from the rain you might as well play in it. (pic of boys with pool)
Matthew 7/18/12 7:15 am woohoo #55
Matthew 7/17/12 7:02 pm Talked to realtor. We don't owe anything.
Julie, Matthew 7/17/12 1:30 pm I just found the key to our u-haul lock! Yay!
Josh 7/17/12 7:06 am, fwd to Matthew 7/17/12 7:19 am Some questions: you still need 2% for closing? Will the lack of carpet in the closet be a problem for the loan? And if we do have to put carpet for it, will that amount come out of the allowance?
Matthew 7/17/12 7:07 am (fwd from Josh) I will also cover the cost of the engineering report.
fwd to Matthew 7/17/12 6:49 am Valerie, I have a revised offer. 73K w/ 2k carpet allowance AND we'll take the house as is -- no more repairs or painting. Let me know. - Josh
Josh 7/16/12 9:51 pm Are you still up or is it too late to call?
Elizardos 7/10/12 2:12 pm Closing costs are about 10 - 20 % of the selling price. Would you guys be able to come up with the 7-8K?
Matthew 7/9/12 6:16 pm Showing the house to another family at 7
Julie 7/9/12 3:31 pm How did Josh's house hunt go? I called a realtor and she is coming wed morning.
Mark 7/9/12 9:28 am I guess now that there is another v in the family I can pass all my initialed niceties to her
Received txts
Laralin 8/21/14 4:53 pm So I thought I should tell you this in the middle of the night but of course no cell service for me. Be confident and KNOW that you are a GREAT mother to your children. You were hand-picked to be their mother and you are a wonderful fit for them. Okay. That's all. I love you.
Dad 8/8/14 9:28 pm Glad you came down. Love you
Jaclyn 8/8/14 7:05 am Safe travels, friend. Thank you (and Peter) for carving out time to bless me :D (((Hugs)))
Laralin 8/4/14 1:56 pm I got the job!!!
Jaclyn 7/30/14 4:28 pm I just read your FB msg and literally gasped!
Dad 7/30/14 10:05 am Tell Aaron that grandpa is happy because I'll be able to see him again about 2:45
Dad 7/30/14 8:12 am Good morning, Val. You little sneaker!! Talk about surprises. Welcome home to Texas!
Matthew 7/15/14 3:34 pm Submitted all the travel vouchers.
Matthew 7/2/14 9:31 am Are you up yet?
Sharon W 6/30/14 11:49 am Yay!!!!! Can't wait to see the sweet guy! :D missing you wish I could give you a hug and him a snuggle!
Melinda 6/30/14 11:45 am I can't wait to make him smile
Melissa H 6/30/14 11:44 am Yay! Congrats momma! I hope it was everything you had hoped! I am sure he is amazing! And he decided to have his own month, just barely!
Laralin 6/29/14 5:46 pm I'm getting so excited for you to meet your new son, Thing 3.
Laralin 6/29/14 5:45 pm Hi. Is your bun still in the oven?
Laralin 6/1/14 10:23 am Happy birthday, my lovely, wonderful, and dearest friend! I love you.
Laralin 5/26/14 3:27 pm My new meds are working wonders.
Laralin 5/26/14 3:26 pm I'm good. My head is clearing. I went shopping and bought basically a new wardrobe because my mom gave me money to. Because she saw the pic of my face on fb and said I looked thinner. So I told her how I lost a bunch of weight. And the wearable clothes were falling off on bottom and hanging on top. And my work shoes split in half on the bottom all the way through. And stuff that sort of fit were torn and stained and not presentable. And I wasn't trying to get money from her, but she offered. So I hit memorial day sales. And I finally envisioned how to arrange my apt and have been cleaning and rearranging and purging this weekend. Still a ways to go, but there's direction, motivation, a specific goal, energy, and progress to be pleased with.
Laralin 5/26/14 2:44 pm I love you, my beautiful friend! You are incredibly special in general but especially to me as well.
Tammy 4/4/14 7:03 pm Sounds lovely! I was there in spirit & didn't even know it :)
Tammy 4/4/14 6:55 pm Just thinking abt u. Hope everything is going well... I know moves r difficult. Wish I was there. I'd love to help u get ready 4 the BIG day. I am so happy u'll b closer! HUGS!
Matthew 3/31/14 1:00 pm Orders published
Jaclyn 3/12/14 8:19 am I'm so excited for you!!! I know you and your family are where you are meant however, for selfish reasons, I wish you were near. Know I'm supporting you thru prayer and wish I was there to do more.
Jaclyn 3/12/14 8:13 am "heavenly homemakers" is also useful
Jaclyn 3/12 14 8:12 am "The healthy home economist' is a really great blog. Lots of info on coconut oil in case you have interest.
Jaclyn 3/10/14 2:25 pm Shut your mouth!!!! Congratulations!!!! I just read the post.
Matthew 3/6/14 8:42 am Can you talk?
Rosana 3/4/14 9:49 am Valerie - thank you for your testimony on Sunday. It really touched my soul. - Rosana
Melinda 2/8/14 12:02 pm I miss you
Laralin 1/4/14 12:03 pm Hi Val. Just thinking about you because I just read your blog about 2013 goals. I think it is pretty great that you tried to keep every goal even if you haven't accomplished all of them yet. So keep it up. :)
Dad 12/24/13 9:17 pm Got the calendar. Congratulations
Julie 12/19/13 11:03 am By the way, I miss you.
Tammy 12/19/13 9:57 am U r such an AMAZING FRIEND! Just wanted u 2 know how much I love u!
Laralin 9/28/13 4:31 pm Hey Val! Great job! You're amazing and I love you.
Laralin 9/4/13 7:23 pm Hey. I love you and you're awesome. Don't go forgetting these things.
Jaclyn 8/29/13 12:24 pm I just read and installed an app called PaceDJ. It allows you to measure your comfortable pace then it calculates what music has a certain beats per minute
Jaclyn 8/28/13 7:31 pm The last 3 minutes of the second run were the toughest for me. I kept saying in my head "I can do ALL things thru Christ who strengthens me". Lol
Jaclyn 8/28/13 3:26 pm I'm really proud of you! I wondered how it went... :S Haven't gone yet. Giving myself the next hour to mentally prepare. The last one was tough for me to get thru. I'm no where near a 10 minute mile.
Jaclyn 8/26/13 8:31 am God is SO good to us! Really. We have the luxury of being able to run this morning. We are prepared and totally have this!
Jaclyn 8/26/13 8:29 am I remind myself how awesome it is that I GET to run! I'm Thankful for my legs. Some people wish they were in our position this morning.
Jaclyn 8/26/13 8:28 am I'm going to encourage you to NOT think about the time. Think about your day, the boys, how awesome you are, how healthy your heart is becoming, your strong lungs...
Jaclyn 8/20/13 12:26 pm 1) I'm so proud of you!!! 2) I miss you! 3) I haven't jogged since Saturday
Mike 7/25/13 9:00 am Genevieve Lorraine was born at 7:50 am on July 25. Weighing 7 lbs 9 oz and 19/25 inches long
Kim 5/5/13 7:09 pm Hi Val it's Kim, just reaching out to you. We're moving along with the house, so just wanted to see if you selected the other place. I'm re-listing the house, but thought I'd touch base with u
Melissa F 4/25/13 7:15 pm I am pregnant
Laralin 3/27/13 6:36 pm You are a reason I feel loved, special, and smile. So happy you are my dear friend. Random but wanted to tell you anyway.
Laralin 3/13/13 6:55 pm *hugs* I know you're going through something rough right now. If you want/need to discuss, I'm available. I love you dearly.
Laralin 3/4/13 6:14 pm Oh Val. I love you and want to make sure you remember. I hope you had a great Monday.
Laralin 1/10/13 10:44 am Sorry you're sick today. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Try to rest as much as possible. If you over do it, the illness could linger. I love you.
Mark 12/31/12 8:32 pm wow - good time. Thanks for coming.
Kelly M 12/28/12 5:33 pm :) I love hearing about everything you're up to on fb. Yay for a white Christmas!

Mark 12/24/12 5:51 pm Eliza - pink, Camille - purple, Vivi - indifferent
Julie 12/19/12 2:30 pm So, I am doing fine. Last week I was more upset. I guess I am glad it is going to be more the slow process than sudden.
Julie 12/19/12 2:09 pm Thanks for your message. I like friends. I miss you.
Mike 11/30/12 1:46 pm That's good that you all are doing ok. How's the house sharing? We're doing alright. Tran's almost done with the semester, and my busy season is almost over. So we're tired. We miss you and the boys. And I know mom does too.
Julie 11/26/12 5:28 pm good luck. i hope it works really well.
Julie 11/26/12 5:24 pm whew. starting with the big drug.

Megan M 10/31/12 4:29 pm So glad to hear you are safe. You had so many of us worried. What a way the north east welcomes you on your first year!
Melinda 10/31/12 1:49 pm I was thinking of u, glad everything is ok
Mom 10/31/12 1:21 pm I guess if the school has power the boys would be ok there even if you don't have power.
Mom 10/31/12 11:44 am Wow. Will school be canceled that long? Was Matthew able to make out to Philly?
Jessica S 10/31/12 11:27 am You have been in my prayers these couple days. Been checking facebook. Thanks for the update!
Jenna 10/31/12 11:24 am Hope your power comes on soon! glad to hear all is well otherwise! love you!
Julie 10/31/12 11:23 am Hey Valerie! i am glad you are ok. everyone was worried.
Melissa F 10/31/12 10:00 am Yay! Miss you bunches. When do they think you will have power? Is it cold?
Sharon W 10/31/12 9:46 am I'm SOOO glad you guys made it through safely!!! Sorry about the power though. Are the kids back to school yet?
Matthew 10/31/12 7:11 am Sgt Babb. She said it's ok to charge battery.
Mom 10/31/12 4:26 pm Is Matthew still home too? How many more days does every one expect to be off?
Mom 10/31/12 4:23 pm Have you got any water storage?
Mike 10/31/12 6:51 am Glad to hear it. Hopefully it is done and it's not just the eye.
Mom B 10/31/12 6:47 am That among other things. Nehi got out and was killed but I didn't find him until a week ago (on tues) when he started to smell from under the porch. And also on last tues. someone texted me that he has left two "little cats" in one of my carriers on my porch. Read that 2 - 2 wk old kittens with severe eye infections. Now, granted, Otis found them by the road just down the street and knew their eyes were matted, but they were contagious and in immediate need of vet care, not to mention too young to even lap milk. One died Sunday but the other is getting better in general, but her eyes still look so bad that I wonder if she has sight in them. I have her in isolation in the bathroom. The whole thing smacks of such overwhelming inconsideration. Now, if I had found them, I might possibly have brought them home, but if I had, it would have been my choice. This isn't as though someone had dumped healthy independent kittens on me. I have to seriously wonder if people even think. The pickup's heater also went out but someone at church replaced the switch and fixed it. The week imploded. I will be glad when I get my hot water back.
Mark 10/31/12 6:13 am Does that mean you're for sure coming on Thursday?
Mark 10/31/12 6:09 am Glad everything is okay.Bummer that you didn't make it down here though.
Mom B 10/30/12 6:05 am Good. Glad it isn't too bad. My gas has been out for at least a week. I discovered it out last Tues when I ran a tub of cold bathwater. That was the shortest bath in history. The utility people need to mark the lines and the repair guy is planning to run a new gas line on Thurs. The insurance doesn't cover the repair because the collapsed line is considered normal wear and tear.
Jaclyn 10/30/12 5:59 am Phew! I'm relieved. Thank you for the update!!! Sending prayers and love
Brent 10/30/12 5:40 am That's cool. After about a week we ended up staying with some friends for a week and a half. Hope the river doesn't overflow too bad to get you. Brent
Brent 10/30/12 5:25 am :) yes. We had to use a camp stove.
Brent 10/30/12 5:22 am Me too. That sucked when we were out for two weeks.

Mark 10/29/12 8:43 pm Good to hear; glad you're safe.
Mark 10/29/12 8:25 pm Hope you're doing okay. Do you still have power?
