Life is poking holes in my Umbrella

I just.... seriously.  What the heck?!?

Someone tried to break into our house today to (we assume) steal our tv.  They completely removed one window; Ben think it looks like they razored around each edge and since the window was held in by caulk alone, it probably wasn't too hard for them.  But our gigantic tv cabinet and our large dog prevented them from getting anything.  (This is all what we're guessing, obviously.)

Cop came by.  Since nothing's missing, he didn't really care much.  He thinks it may have fallen out on its own--yeah, no way.  If our window fell out, it would have broken.

Point is that one more crappy thing happened to my family.  And I don't know how much more I can take. I'm trying to read about Faith in the bible, trying to find something to really click and make it all seem better.  But I just feel like we're getting kicked and kicked by life right now.

I'm grateful for Riley.  (Hopefully he scared the pants off the crook.)  And that our neighbors have come over to help Ben fix the window.  The guy two houses down, whom we've never met before today, had his tv stolen in December.

Just shaking my head.... things are just really baffling me.  If I could just get a peek at how our lives are supposed to turn out after all this--

Amber my friend! It sounds like a stressful event, for sure. And the cop thinking the window just fell out?.... seriously? Anyways, I was looking through some older posts, and found out that you are expecting again! Great news!! I'm not far behind you - I'm just 14 weeks along. Our last ones were born about the same time if I remember right. I'm very happy for you!!

Sounds like Phx! We were so paranoid living there. Fortunately, our house is pretty invisible from the street (we live in a cottage behind a larger property), so we haven't worried too much. :) Where are your prenatal water aerobics classes??!?! I want to come with you!

If nothing else, you have a great story. And I guess that is one good reason to have a dog.
