7:30 in the morning on Saturday, really?

Have you ever been totally excited about something only to have the timing of it all shake those emotions up? We felt a little bit guilty about being told by the insurance adjuster that we needed a new roof after Hurricane Ike because we were not after all directly affected by the hurricane other than by inconvenience. We were able to come right back home after the power came back on and there was no permanent damage to our home, other than some minor shingle damage and our carport was torn up. So after going through the insurance hoops and learning those ropes it turned out that we were going to be getting a whopping check to get our roof replaced, and after getting three bids, we are getting the entire roof replaced and the carport repaired and it's not costing us one single penny. Praise the Lord, we would never have that kind of money sitting around to replace the roof. There's always a but though right, well they showed up at 7:30 this morning and it's the only day of the week that I get to sleep in. I heard Shiloh barking and thought, what is going on? Pulled myself out of the warm bed, with a beautiful little girl sleeping right next to me, Mark is gone, so Ella always feels the need to keep his spot warm for him and I went to the front window only to see about 6 trucks in the cul-de-sac with the roofing company logo.

Soooo, we're getting the new roof today! And now I'm totally awake!

When we went through Hurricane Rita in 2005 our roof also needed repairs enough that the entire roof had to be replaced. Good for us because it was the orginal roof on a house that was about 25 to 30 years old. We needed that new roof anyway so it was a blessing that the insurance company paid for it due to Rita.
