Goodbye stuff; waiting game

The debris removal contractor for the island finally got to our house on Monday. It was quite exciting. A nice break from our now normal, everyday clean up routine. I thought I might cry when the big machine scooped up our belongings, but I didn't. Instead I breathed a big sigh of relief and snapped some photos (see below).

Now we're playing the waiting game with insurance and FEMA. We're supposed to hear something from the insurance company about the claim on our house within two weeks. Then, we can move forward with FEMA, although FEMA is also supposed to be sending out an inspector within 10 days of us filing our claim. We're at day 7 now, so hopefully by this weekend we'll have some movement on that.

In the meantime, it's the same ol, same ol. We got most of the yard debris gone in both the front and back, and we still have some work to do on the stuff from the garage, so that's the plan for the rest of the week.

As always, thank you to each and every one of you who continue to pray for us, and call and send texts. That helps us get through each and every day, and we can't thank you enough!
