These past few weeks after the storms have been super busy!! It feels as if there is not enough time in the days to get what needs to be done, done. The week after the big storms Dustin and I stayed with his parents in Gadsden. We are so thankful that they welcomed us into their homes when we had no power. The day we returned I had my first interview with a law firm in Huntsville, AL. I was so excited. After the interview, Dustin and I tried to get the house a little cleaned up before the dark set it (we were still without power). Luckily, later that evening our power came back on!! Hooray!! We still could not touch the back yard until the adjuster came and took a look at it. It seemed like it took forever for him to get to us!! In the mean time I had a few more interviews. After the adjuster came Dustin's parents came up to the house one weekend with Brett and Lora and the kids. They so graciously helped us get all the limbs away from the house and off the fence and a lot more work. Note: I don't actually know what they did because I sadly was not home for this!! While they were working so hard Dustin's dad, Donnie, went and asked some guys close to us how much they would charge to get the rest of the trees out of our yard. They were surprisingly cheap!!! The tree guys were from Ohio and had came down to do some charity work and stayed to help with the clean up of the storms (Thank god for nice people like this). Anyway, they came and did the job we paid them to do and left.

All smoothed out
Me hard at work (Dustin made fun of this outfit, but it was so cold)
While everyone was working hard in our yard, I had the pleasure of attending my sister's wedding shower. I have no pics of the shower sadly. I was too busy running around. It was so glad to see all of my family and to see my sister get such great gifts. The things she says while she is opening presents would make anyone laugh!!! After that wonderful and busy weekend came a week of more busy!! I had interviews!!! Yay!! I am hoping to hear something this week. Let's cross our fingers. Also, my cousin, Melissa, and her wonderful son, Caleb, came up to spend the night with Dustin and I. We had lots of fun sitting around and playing with the little man. The first thing he went to when he came in the door was the stairs. So we spent most of the evening playing on the stairs. When Dustin came in from work, he fired up the grill and cooked us some steaks! They were so yummy! While Dustin cooked the steaks, I cooked mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. It was a great meal. Then we went to Bridge Street Town Center in Huntsville. It is such a lovely little place to walk around with kids. Whether shopping or walking around enjoying the scenery, it is always a good time. The next day was my sister's wedding rehearsal, and the next day was the big day!!! I can't believe my little sister got married!!! She was such a beautiful bride and the after party was great!!!! Denise I love you, and you made such a beautiful bride. I hope the best for you in life!!!
Enjoy~!!
