TEAM SHAY: Extra Appreciated Help

During our trip to UT, many people offered to come out and help after my surgery. It was so nice of everyone. We are very lucky to have such a great family! However, we didn't know what help we would need if any (and actually recovery was much better than expected). But then Brett had the opportunity to go down south for some training that had to do with our upcoming move. Yeah for him but that means he would be gone for an entire week. Not that I couldn't have muddled through but not being back on top of everything, a little help would be nice. So we contacted Lori to see if she would be willing to come take his place for the week. With it being the first week of school, we know it was a sacrifice for her family to have her gone. But it turned out to be so helpful that we hope they know how much we appreciated it.
Brett left Sunday morning. Let's just say... we had a long Sunday and Monday! ;) Then, the kids and I picked Lori up from the airport on Tuesday in time for lunch. The kids were so excited to have her come! Especially little Glory. Check out all the fun stuff we did together on our other blog- The post is called Glory Loves Lori . (http://snomaes.blogspot.com/2012/08/glory-loves-lori.html) Yeah for Lori!
In regards to my Cancer Journey though, Lori was a great help. It was such a blessing to have her here to chat and visit with. But not only that... it turned out to be a perfect week for her to be here. I think that I probably overdid it last week because I was way tuckered out! (Oh yeah and Aunt Flo came to visit so that compounded the problem) I ended up taking a nap everyday while Lori watched the kids for me. So nice! I was also able to get the kids off to and from school on their first days with out hauling Glory all over. Glory was in seventh heaven to have her own personal friend to be with! What a blessing! As if that wasn't enough, Lori also cleaned out my freezer. It was in great need of being defrosted but that would require me to lift and move a million things. Lori let me run an errand and go to lunch with my friend and when I came back- whoala! magically... a beautiful, clean, defrosted freezer! Yeah! Thank you! Thank you! I love it!

The week went by way too fast and we kept Lori up way too late! Sorry!. ;( Lori left before the sun came up on Saturday. She drove herself to the airport [we still feel a little guilty about this but it was sure nice to sleep in so, thank you for that as well, Lori] and left the van for Brett to bring home. (He came home by lunchtime) He felt bad he didn't even get to see her at all.
Lori-
Thank you so much for coming and helping us out this week. We loved having you here. You are such a kind, loving, Christlike example for our family! It was so fun to have the kids get to know you more personally. And I always love to chat with you! Thank you for all your service to our family and the sacrifice of your family to let us steal you for a bit! You are the best! We love you tons! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Love, All us Seamons ;)
