But God can be funny

   We are in the final 48 hour countdown before Sophie and I make our way to Nashville BNA airport with flowers and a WELCOME HOME sign in tow to finally bring mom and dad home from their wonderful trip to Vienna. They've only been gone a week today but since their departure we are down a fridge and a toilet. And yes, I want to be a homemaker one day.. Friday night I came home from our Very BOHAN Christmas party to find a warm fridge/freezer and this morning I woke up to water coming through the family room ceiling from Joe's bathroom upstairs, the toilet looked like a fountain. So with my retainers still in, I called dad. His response, "We needed to re-do that bathroom anyway" oh and he's already been looking at new refrigerators online in Vienna. And you know what? He's right. We're all healthy and happy and I didn't die putting the Christmas tree up this weekend. The house is all ready for the entire family to be together well once I get the towels off the family room floor and I'm ready to have everyone back. So while I was almost in tears while driving to work this morning, Joe took his first college exam this morning and I was probably just as stressed about it as he was, toilets and fridges can be fixed, Sophie jumping on my head at 1am because of thunder is something you can not replace. So just remember to find that small glimmer of humor in whatever is happening, it's always there I promise. 
Welcome home!

Complete with presents under the tree and stockings hung by the chimney with care

That face
