Tears in Heaven, RIP Brandon

"Beyond the door, there's peace I'm sure...And I know there'll be no more, Tears in Heaven" - Eric Clapton

Life is so precious, you never know what may happen....always remember to tell those you love how much they mean to you. You never know when it may be the last.

This weekend was a rough one for us. On Friday afternoon, Sara received news that a close family friend was in a horrible car accident earlier that day. The report wasn't good at all and we spent most of the weekend at the hospital waiting with Christine, one of Sara's closest friends, who we have always considered family. Christine is an amazing person, her strength and compassion are unmatched, and it is so hard to undestand how one person can be dealt so much heartbreak and loss at such a young age. She is and will always be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

At a little after midnight on Sunday morning, Brandon's heart gave out and the world lost a great little fighter. At just 19 years old, he left an imprint on so many people's hearts and lives and we will always remember him as that bright little kid that loved KU Basketball, playing football and making people laugh. There will be a lot of what ifs and if things had been different, but we can all take comfort in knowing that you are home with Mary and smiling down on everyone. Rest in Peace, Brandon, we love you...

It's hard to transition, but we did want to share an update on our front room renovations. Brain has got the trim almost complete, and we decided on another suprise makeover...

Windows are done...trim is almost complete
Remember this door on the right?
Bam! The second coat is drying and we are already loving it...
We like the black so much, it may be a recurring trend in our household...but as Brian says, one thing at a time...

Love and hugs to you all...

XOXO,

Sara, Brian & Tequila
