As if I didn't already have enough to be thankful for, (I mean look at those boys!), we got a really awesome treat this week. After our November 30th close date got pushed to December 31, then early January, we found out that we are going to be closing on our house December 20th! I couldn't ask for a better Christmas gift!

On losing a basement and finding perspective.
The past 2 days, we've been powerless and dealing with a gift that hurricane Sandy left us as she passed through...a wet basement.
