Looking back

For the year or so following Hurricane Ike, there were a lot of "firsts," many of which I dreaded... the first Christmas not in our house, the first anniversary of the hurricane... you get the picture. Well, almost 17 months after the hurricane struck our little slice of paradise, there are still firsts happening. Like, the first anniversary of D-Day. Man, was that an exciting day! But it was also the start of the longest five months of my life. Every day that our house was under construction, we were here. Whether we were working on it or not. Not a day went by that we weren't here. It's just strange to think about everything that we went through to get this house to where it is. Lots of blood, sweat and tears... literally. I don't ever want to go through that again.
