Remodeling, sort of

This has been a busy few days for my husband and I. It started on Saturday when we started to put a new front door on our house. We discovered that the threshold and frame were starting to rot, and the previous owners kind of cobbled together part of it. We got that straightened out and then discovered that the new door was too big to fit in the opening. Thank goodness for my father in law. He is very smart when it comes to figureing out how to fix problems like this on houses. What we decided to do is look under the carpet to see if we could go down and what did we discover? Hardwood flooring. So our new door project turned into ripping up part of the carpet and sanding the floor. We are not done yet and the dust is getting on my nerves, but when we are done it will be good. By the way, the new door looks awesome and we painted it to match the color of our shutters.

Besides all this that is going on in our lives, my husband has decided to go back to school to become a youth pastor. He is very excited about it, but is not looking forward to all the school work. He is going to take online classes so it will be very intense. Each class is only 6 weeks long, but the material that is covered is what would normally be covered in a regular semester. It is going to be stessful, but the end result will be what he has wanted to do since he was young.

I have decided not to rake anymore until all the leaves have fallen, because otherwise, it is just pointless. Our redneck rakes still work just fine though. The colors of the leaves are so amazing this fall. The reds and yellows are almost blinding when the sun hits them just right. I don't know how anyone could deny that there is a God when they see the colors. There is no way that they could just happen by chance.
