"That which does not kill us makes us stronger. Friedrich Nietzsche

Wow the back steps collapsed while Amanda and the girls where on them!  That isn't even the beginning.  Where to begin? We arrived beginning of June, the place was unfit to live in.  We rolled up our sleeves pushed aside the west coast sloth and relied heavily on my family, Kari, Brad and company have been invaluable.  Did you know they modeled Macgyver after Brad?  So we have daily surprises and so far most of them have been, holy doodle, what do we do now!!  Did I mention the septic backed up into the bathroom and mudroom!  Amanda has been amazingly Zen about everything so far, I personally believe she is still in a state of shock.
