Leaving Harvery Behind and Headed Home

It is the happiest news to announce that as of December 31, we moved back HOME. Hallelujah!

It has now been five months since Harvey hit us. To be honest it feels like a lifetime ago and at the same time its as if it was all just a nightmare, not real at all. Weird how tragic events have an affect on someone. Thankfully, we feel as though we took on this tragedy with extreme power of positivity and strength.

God. It's a given, but truly we owe Him everything.  Through everything that happened, He gave us the mental strength to push through, showered us with endless blessings, grew our family together, grew our marriage together and showed us how important it is to lean on Him, not just when facing destruction, but always.

People. God used people to show His love.  Family, friends, community...all near and far are what gave us this ability to stay strong and push through this event like rock stars. Without support, we would have crumbled.

Regrets. Simply put, none. I've always felt that regrets are lessons you never learned from. So. Many. Lessons. LEARNED : )

All this positive writing doesn't mean this whole experience was all roses. We cried, we worried, we argued...it was stressful, and

the future so very unclear. At times, I felt hopeless and defeated. Thankfully, because of the reasons I mentioned above, we never drowned, we just learned to be better swimmers. 

Now we have nothing but hope ahead of us and we are so very ready to put all memories of Harvey in the past, but keeping the lessons we learned close to heart.

We are so happy to be home, in our own beds, own spaces and look forward to slowly piecing our home back to the way it was. What a great way to start 2018!
