A Busy Year

It has been one year now since AJ and I have lived in our first house in New Hartford!
So much has happend to us in this past year.
I got a job teaching Special Education for grades 3-6 at North Cedar Elementary in Cedar Falls. I absolutely love it! AJ is very busy with all his work for his business and fixing up our house.

Within a year at our house, this is all that has happened:
1. Lightning struck a light pole in our yard and it traveled through the house managing to fry our 2 computers.
2. A tornado came through our town as well as Parkersburg- took out 3 of our best and biggest trees as well as a few shingles! Our house was caked with mud!!




3. While I was visiting Katie in Texas, the flood came. We had a little over 2 feet of water (and mud) in our house. Yes, that was the worst of our little disasters!
We have completely remodeled since we lost pretty much everything. One of the worst parts for me was losing my shoes and purses...hard to replace :(



More will come later on how all of these obstacles have changed some of my loookings on life!
