1 year ago

One year ago today our life in Texas truly began, Jonpa went to his first day of work here and the movers unloaded all of the stuff into our house. It is hard to believe that it has been one year.  We have had many good experiences here in Texas. At the same time we have missed many of our dear friends in Arizona.  We are thankful to a loving Heavenly Father who has given us so much, including the knowledge that this is the right place and the right time for us.  We love you all! 

A nice surprise!

Yesterday when we came back to our house after taking care of our sweet friends who just had another baby on Thursday. We found the power on. What a nice surprise to have AC, a refrigerator. We celebrated last night by going to the store to get a gallon of milk and some frozen pizza to cook. It is weird to look in the refrigerator and see it so empty. I feel blessed to have survived with so little damage to our lives. We had to work hard to clean up our yard and make due without power for 7.5 days. It is just still weird to have been through a hurricane. Everywhere we drive we see the effects of the storm. We have learned a few things from surviving our first hurricane, things that we will do differently to prepare. We have written them down and will be better prepared for the next storm.
