Late last night we drove down our driveway home after a roadtrip to visit family and while unpacking the car in the main house, we looked outside to see that our barn had suddenly caught fire. While we are indescribably devastated and grieving, we are also incredibly grateful to the fire department who arrived in record time and we continue to be in awe of the community of people that surround us in this little town and afar. By noon today, someone had delivered us food, I had help with the kids, we were both receiving a constant stream of texts and phone calls, and still others had shown up to help assess and prevent any further damage. Even while the air smells like smoke and I tear up every time I look outside, Spencer and I are deliberately choosing joy and thanksgiving this evening. All of this to say: this is our thank you letter to our community.
