First Home May 2010
Home after flood April 2011
Second Home November 2011
A few years ago I met this awesome couple Stephen and Kira. They were dating for several years at the time and had so many dreams ahead for their first home. We found the house they would make home in no time, they knew the moment they walked in it they would start their lives in it together. It was a cute older home that had been remodeled and all they had to do is move in. Then the flood came a year into owning this home, placing 6 feet of water on their main floor. But they did not give up, I remember going to meet them at the house over the summer as the heat beat down and the house smelled of the river they stood going we dont know what to do. How can we ever fix this, but we can't give up either.
A few months later on August 27th Stephen and Kira were married, spending their honey moon staying with relatives as they still had no home. Then their FEMA trailer came, and so did frozen pipes. One day after that I got the call, we need a home. So on to their 2nd home they went and in November 2011 we found them a house, on the hill, with the most amazing view of Minot. Yet they still kept paying on their flood home unsure of what to do next.
In August 2012 Stephen and Kira called, they were still paying for this flooded home and they were ready to let go of it. Within 3 weeks the house was sold and closed. Their first home, the place they thought would be theirs for years. It was bittersweet day, but a fresh start for them. I want to thank Stephen and Kira for always being optimistic, never giving up, and congratulate them on a fresh start!!
