"There are angels among us..."

So this is how the story goes. Saturday, Nov. 6th,late morning I asked Jileigh and Angelique to go up into the attic above the garage(that is the secure section with boards on the trusses) to look for a box of 24 month winter clothes for Elody. Well, Jileigh came down with a box but Angelique didn't. Then Jaren and Safia went up. I was just saying to Matt that I didn't think that they should be up there, when we heard noises going on above the living room and dining room. Jileigh runs to open the door and we all yell out, "You guys get down from there!" Then we hear a loud crack and boom. We ran to the different bedrooms trying to find the source of the noise. Finally we saw Angelique walking out of the bathroom. She was totally covered in insulation and desperately trying to catch her breath. She was in a bit of shock apparently seemed unharmed. She calmed down and I sent her into the shower in my bathroom. After she came out she showed me that her sides were a little bit scraped up and then finally the tears came. She was worried that we would be mad that she destroyed the bathroom. I chuckled a little bit and explained that the bathroom ceiling was the least of our problems. Dad can fix that, no problem. I then told her that we were just so grateful that she was alive and basically unharmed. The situation could have been sooo sooo much worse, broken bones, unconsciousness, even death. She just landed in the tub and walked out of it. There are truly angels among us to watch over us and protect us and she definitely had angels with her. She is bruised on her sides and has some surface scratches, but that's it. Amazing!

So then Matt went to work on repairing the ceiling. He put all the insulation back in the attic, put up some support boards against the trusses and screwed the drywall back up. He even put the tape on over the seems and put on the first coat of drywall mud. I vacuumed up the floor and wiped down the counter and toilet with the bathroom wipes. We have our bathroom back!
