Rebuilding Our Lives

On August 28, 2005 Juliana & I packed up the car, picked up Aunt Ginger, and headed to Aunt Carries' house in Atlanta, GA to escape Hurricane Katrina. After a few stressful days there we met Mimi & Pops in Pigeon Forge, TN to have an "evacuation vacation" for 2 weeks. We returned home to find that our house had been engulfed with 6ft of muddy Lake Pontchartain water. We moved in with MiMi, Pops, & Aunt Ginger until we were fortunate enough to find an apartment 3 months later. Life began to return semi-normal. Juliana started a 2yr old program at 1st Presbyterian Church, Kendall started working for Lowes, and I began cosmetology school at Aveda Institute. We had many fun times during this hectic part of our lives.
