THANK YOU

The benefit dinner did amazingly well.  I never would have dreamed it would be so profitable.   The men were able to raise enough money to re-pay people for the hard cost of our remodel.  There was also enough money left to pay most of what we anticipate Randy's out of pocket for our medical bills.   This is a gigantic blessing.  Randy isn't done making bills so it is hard to know.  But a huge burden has been lifted.  I am sure we can make it however long it takes before Randy gets back to work with the help of the church and all of you good people.
And  although we have some savings, we can't stay afloat each month on my income even with the help from the church.  If we use our saving to live off of then we would run out of money to pay the bills.  Or if we pay the bills, we run out of money to live off of.  You get the idea.  So thank you all for your generosity!  We are truly touched.  I know that there are so many people who are struggling right now.  Thank you for opening your hearts to us.  We are so grateful for all you have done for us.

thanks

I want to send a shout out thank you to Dan Willes for coming over last night and giving Randy a shower.

Thanks to Sherron for bringing over a remote holder for the bed, and for bringing me a rubber maid shelf for my bathroom to hold my items and stack the towels on.  Now my front room is free of clutter!

I had a work meeting last night and they both came over so it made it so Randy wasn't alone while I was away.  Nice timing.

Thank you to everyone who have brought in meals, and continue to bring in meals.  It has been so helpful, as going to the store would take time away from helping Randy.  Not to mention I hate to cook.

Randy is getting better each day.  Today physical therapy is coming in at 10 or 10:30.  I have work in the afternoon but Austen will be home (and hopefully awake) to handle Randy duty as Tanner will be at school.

I still can't believe that if you have over 3,000 in savings you can't qualify for disability.  Doesn't that seem crazy?  If anyone knows anything different please let me know.  Savings only lasts for so long when your income is less that your outgoing bills.  I don't say this to worry anyone.  I really think we will be fine.  It just came as a surprise to me that's all.
