Today, we’re doing a little reminiscing. Watching TV and reminiscing.
It was three years ago… that was a busy year come to think of it! We’d just bought our first house. I was traveling a lot for work, and we finally finished a big project at the very end of July. We decided to take a vacation to visit Jack’s mom & step-dad in Gulfport, Mississippi. It was a great week. We went to all the casinos with him, went to all these great little shops in Waveland and Bay St. Louis with her. We even took a side trip to the French Quarter in New Orleans, and the aquarium… Jack’s first time to New Orleans.
Little did we know that two weeks later it would be changed forever.
So this morning as we watched Gustav come ashore in Louisiana we remembered. Jack called his mom (they’ve since moved to Texas, and actually just closed on their house in Gulfport like last month!) and we were all thankful that we didn’t have to worry this time like we did three years ago. When we still hadn’t heard from them three days after the storm, Jack was ready to head down and search for them!
Oh, and about that busy year… Katrina was in August, my closest friend got married in October, and Jack’s accident was in November (which pretty much took up the rest of the year!). So yeah, a busy year.
And three years later, we’ve all come a long way!
