Last weekend, the Jr. High youth group from Sunbury Bible Church came to our house and church to serve for part of the weekend. They were able to help us switch all the furniture from our bedroom to the back room and the from the kids bedroom to the front room!
Then on Thursday, our neighbor/"landlord"/friend started the renovations to split the big front bedroom. Jonerik, Frank, and two other guys from our church worked really hard all day and got the project completed by the end of the day (paint included!!). We let the kids pick out the paint colors for their accent walls and I occupied the kids while the men worked.

It's hard to describe how amazing this is. But it's a big step for our family and helping the kids feel like they have a place where they belong. A place of their own. Someone recently told me that it sounded like I was "nesting" in a sense. And I think that is true. It feels so good to help get them settled and find fun decorations that fit each of them.
It has been an incredibly busy week/weekend, but it is all worth it! To top off the weekend, Jonerik and I ran the Broad St. Run this morning!! We had a great time and the weather was perfect. When we saw the kids later in the day the first thing Damian said to me was... "Did you beat?" Haha! I don't think they understand how long 10 miles is and how big this race is, but it was too cute. It felt so good to accomplish something that big (again) and to do it with friends.
