Starting to feel more like home

What a busy two weeks it has been. Last week we had two cyclones (hurricanes) within two days. Of course they made a big deal about saying their will be major damage to homes, no water,no power and winds up to 125kph (80 mph). Hailey even brought home a note from school that said "To use your judgement" when sending your kids to school the day after the storm. Of course not knowing what to expect during a cyclone I went to the store and got our bread,eggs,and milk just in case we were unable to get to the stores in the next couple of days.That night of the second storm we didn't sleep much at all. It was raining buckets! The wind was blowing so hard there were waves in our pool. The next morning there were a few down tree limbs but nothing major got damaged,Jason still went to work, and the girls still had school.
Two days later our sea container came! It was like Christmas in June! The first thing we set up was our beds. We went two months sleeping on air mattresses, so we needed a good nights rest.We all went to bed early that night and enjoyed our first night in our bed in our new home. The girls are loving all their toys again and their newly decorated rooms. We have pictures on the walls,toys and game pieces everywhere, and dried up toothpaste on the sink. But things are FINALLY starting to feel more like home.
