Two Amazing Men+Lots of Hard Work+24 Hours = Back To Normal :)

Thanks to an AMAZING Daddy, Mom and Husband, our house is back to normal. When my parents heard the news they loaded up the Suburban with all kinds of cleaning and putty stuff and headed down to the coast. My mom was in such a hurry she even forgot her hairbrush and blow dryer...you know her baby girl was upset when she forgets those! But thanks to two hard workers and a 24 hour Walmart, the boys had the bathroom fixed when mom and I got up the next morning to start cleaning. They started about 11:00 pm and got to bed around 3:30 am...talk about some hard work, huh?

This photo is after the first round of putty and sanding...

And just 10 hours after the fire it looked liked this...yeah they are pretty much AMAZING!!!

Hard-core with the Diet Mountain Dew...


Yeah, you know you are jealous..haha. We were picking on Dad for having his pants up so high...haha. But they can wear them however they want when they do great work like they did!
This photo is after mom and I got in there and finished the cleaning and decorating part. Pretty cute huh? My mom helped me clean the entire house, top to bottom and get the smoke smell out. She also brought me new duvet covers for the beds and towels...wow what would I do without her?


We still have to buy a new lighting fixture since the other melted but other than that... you would never know a fire was here only 24 hours ago.

We learned many things from this experience....
1. God is good all the time!
2. We have some of the most amazing parents any kid could wish for.
3. Make sure you ALWAYS blow out your candles!

Carrie & Jesse, the bathroom looks wonderful! Jesse & your dad did a great job! And you & your mom did a wonderful job fixing it up afterwards. I hope you have smoke alarms in the house...I am sure you do...because I would not want this to happen if you were asleep. I am glad it all worked out! Love ya, Kweta
