Home Again

Hi friends,

I don’t know if you heard but we moved to Florida last September. Two
weeks later Hurricane Helene hit and completely flooded our house with
four feet of water. With almost everything still in boxes since we’d be
traveling one of those two weeks, we lost 95% of our belongings and two
cars.

It turned into six months of waiting on insurance and four Airbnb stays, but
we are finally back in our home. I can’t express how grateful I am.

I’m sharing a few snapshots of my favorite things that got remodeled. It’s
amazing to see, given at one sad point it was just the wall beams. We could
see from one side of our house to another.

But now, we have a home again. And, so much of it is thanks to you all. We
were blown away by the outpouring of love we received from author friends
and readers. From a Gocarefund started by the awesome author, Jill
Kemerer to the gifts off our Amazon wish list. I think we started with fifty
items and we’re down to five or six.

It’s been amazing. Most of the gift receipts didn’t come or just had a first
name so I was unable to thank everyone individually but please know how
grateful we are for each and every gift. Once everything is in place, I’m
going to do a video walkthrough and share everything gifted to us in hope
the senders will see it and know how very appreciative we are.

More than ninety percent of what we have for our home are gifts through
the wish list or from friends giving us a dining table and chairs and so much
more. Huge shout out to Crissy and Amy (you know who you are) for
helping us through the worst of it. Really helping us through the worst of it.

This is my favorite spot to sit and see the sunrise over a wonderful cup of
coffee. It’s so beautiful here and we feel so blessed. Thank you all so
incredibly much. We are beyond touched by your generosity and all of your
prayers. They’ve been answered.
