Hi angel friends! :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a nice peaceful day :) We're thinking of you all :) we love the weekend's :) i have some new updates :) we're all doing ok, and things are progressing well, with the insurance company, all state, and them helping us prepare for hiring workers, to rebuild our rooms, and roof :) there was a slight worry, as mortgage company may have had access to our repair funds, from all state. my mom and dad, and us all were worried. my mom called all state this morning, and everything is situated. all state is going to be sending 2 checks, which have been addresses/mailed out, and will be recieving the checks soon. they did try to do a direct deposit, but my mom's and dad's bank couldn't accept it for some reason, as it's a large amount of money. thankfully, they can mail checks, and all state is helping out, so that we will then begin to hire a contractor/carpenter's, to begin doing work on our roof, rooms :) it's a process, but things are looking up, and coming along well :) we're so glad, and thankful :) we are very much, looking forward to the repairs, and getting things in place :) my dad talked with the rent-a-center workers today,and they have some great deals, for beds, mattresses :) We are continuing to feel very hopeful, and positive about everything :) thank you for your continued love, care, support, and prayers :) it means the world to us, and is very comforting, and uplifting :)
