1/16/2008 1 year Anniversary of CSX Train Derailment

Wow, its been a year since a CSX train derailed infront of my house carring several different types of Chemicals. 3 of which exploded and spilled out and burnt for several days. It left living in a hotel for several weeks, then an apartment for several months. We choose not to go back to the house because I was approx 6 weeks prego at the time and then I miscarred approx a week later. So we just decided that no matter what we did not want to go back to live there. It took 6 months for CSX to settle with us a come to agreement. But we finally settled and were done with the whole process. We choose not to take legal action because they would not have bought our house and we wanted it to be over so we could move on and not be bitter with everything that has happened to us. God took care of me and my 2 year old at the time. I had to leave my home carring my 2 year old while I prego approx over 4 acres of land to find rescue personnel. There was fall out falling from the sky all the while. When I took one last look of how my home looked it like my mind took a pict that I will never forget and will never go back to. We are now living in another house. Settled with the train co. and moving on. I am not approx 36 weeks and 4 days prego today, Glad my baby didnt come today, that would have been wierd.

We are sorry for the losses we have had but are anxiously awaiting arrival of our new baby boy. He has no name yet and it seems to be getting harder and harder to figure out one. but hopefully soon we will decide on one.

I am thankful to God who has brought me thus far. Mike and I are defiantely stronger in our marriage and family. We know that with God you can handle anything and that there is an end to all things which means there has to be a begining. So All in All God is so Good and knows what he is doing all the time. He is awesome for sure. Take care and God Bless!
