Ok some back story

Well it seems as if I have forgotten to give some pertinent background if.  As you all know we have 2 little wonders and we are expecting our third.  I am ashamed to admit that I have forgotten to add that we have a third child. He is an amazing 13year old.  Though he was not born from me I love him like a son.  Well that said lets move on.....
       Back in 2004 my love bought a home, with high hopes.  He began remodeling it as much as he could when he could. By the way did you know remodeling is expensive and time consuming!! In the beginning it was just him and our oldest.  Then shortly after that we got pregnant with our first little one.  Then 3 years later we got pregnant for our second little one.  So need less to say we add a bit to our plate. He still worked as hard as he could doing what he could when he could.  During the winter was the most productive time of the year for the house.  My love gets laid off each winter and then during the summer works EVERY day from sun up to mostly sun down.  We miss him a lot and I have never longed for rain more than I do then.  (he gets rain days off) I try very hard to keep the kiddos busy and still stay sane all summer long, but trust me it's not easy!  It was in 2009 that he had enough done for us to move in. Grant it enough was floors, walls and windows.  We moved in in February and we all shared one room, Greg, me, our 3 year old and our new born.  At this time we were only able to heat with a wood burning stove, that we really didn't know how to use effectively. We did as much work as we could, or should I say Greg did most of it.  It has taken the last two years for us to get as far as each of us having our own sleeping areas. Each time we get one thing accomplished we end up with about half a dozen more that arise as issues.  But we push on doing what we can when we can.
The majority of our daily/monthly funds go to the remodel or paying off the bills that have accumulated as a result of living.  But we all know how that is, because I don't know one person who does not have bills.
When I write all this down I am finding it very hard to portray where we are and where we have come from. It's so amazing to see all the progress that our lives have achieved over the last 12 years as our relationship has developed.  Then I stop and think, is this the way it is for everyone? It really makes me wonder.
