My Sister-in-Law could beat up your Sister-in-law

That's what I would say if I was still in grade school. 


Because really she is my hero.  
With the nursery furniture needing to go to a new baby, Miss B needed big sis furniture. I searched everywhere, then went to our local classifieds and found the perfect set. Brad and his brother had been planning to work on the basement tonight, so I knew they wouldn't be of any help (and really the basement is very important that was not a project I wanted to hinder for furniture). So I called up Andrea. They as always tweaked their plans  so she could come with me and help load up furniture in Chris's truck we borrowed (especially since me being pregnant I would be slightly worthless, even not pregnant I am so weak).

We loaded up 3 kiddos. By the end the littlest ones were in tears.



 Also did I mention the battery died while we loaded furniture so we needed a jump?

Here is Andrea carrying out the heaviest piece of the set.

And then it was she, who tied it all down so it was nice and tight. (Because let's be honest I have no idea how to work the ratchet straps).
And then I made her drive the truck, because she is a better driver than me. And we made it home! Nothing damaged. 
We also may have said a prayer or two :)

So if you haven't figured it by now, it was all her that did this. All I did was find the furniture. Why she still agrees to help me is beyond me, but boy, am I glad she does :)

My Pop

My Pop is undergoing an emergency surgery at this very moment. He has been sick since Thanksgiving. As I was looking back at photos and videos I came across this one. Healthier days these were.
