Mi Querida Familia: The Roof

July 20, 2011

The Roof

This morning Alejandro and I woke up at about 6:30 a.m. and began a 14 hour work-day on our roof.

Every single solitary muscle in my body aches. My shoe soles have melted off of my shoes from the heat of the tar paper.

I don't ever ever want to do that ever again.

Ever.

But the roof is just about done! And I feel SO good about that. Plus the fact that today I used a nail gun.

Ha!

I'm Renee. I am first, and only, a child of the King of Kings. I am a wife to my husband who grew up in Costa Rica, and Mama to my two boys, one still on the way. Home is in Colorado Springs, but it's also been in Costa Rica and San Diego. We raise a bilingual household. I am a small business owner. I use cloth diapers, I make my own baby food and I am proud to be a Babywise mom. I am opinionated, outgoing and bold, but Jesus daily brings forth loveliness. I am a Southern California girl who says ya'll and I like to start my sentences with conjunctions. I worship loudly with my eyes closed, my hands up, and (usually) tears streaming down. Writing and speaking are great loves of mine. Skin care is my trade. Jesus and his people are my reason for being and my boys - the most important people in my life - get my kisses daily. I believe in living BIG. In giving EXTRAVAGANTLY. And in loving DEEPLY.
