This is a very inspiring post to read, especially with the intruder and theft so fresh in your mind. Thank you for the reminder of what we can really be grateful for in life. I hope your week is only up from here!

Just saw this. I’m sorry you had this happen to you. It’s frightening and upsetting to know someone was in your home while you were asleep. I’m just glad you are both alright!

Wow. Thank you for sharing, I’m so so happy you two are okay. Screw the electronics, I’m so relieved you guys didn’t happen to wake up to go to the bathroom or anything while this was going on. Big hug from LA!

Definitely a good reminder as to what matters most in life. Sorry you had to go through that, though. Really glad you and Mike are OK.

Incredible. So glad you and your husband are safe, Heather. This is a great reminder that (most) of our physical possessions don’t matter all that much in the grand scheme of things.

@JeffBC94 I LOVE my baseball bat. We have it on a shelf in our living room. Today helped me realize just how important it is to me. It’s irreplaceable. Your rock idea is fun, too. I love hearing how people get creative with their weddings. Such a fun idea! Looking forward to seeing you in-person again soon!

@KelleeMagee I used to blog a lot more about random things like this. I miss those days. This seemed like an appropriate time for a personal post. Plus, it was a bit cathartic for me to write it and realize that things could have been much, much worse. Thanks for taking the time to read it!

WOW. Thanks to you for sharing such a raw moment. You hit the nail on the head: what matters most isn’t the “stuff.” No one can steal your memories (but I’m glad the bat was still there.) I send you a giant virtual hug and I’m thankful that it wasn’t much, much worse. As someone who has been personally violated before, I know how hard it is to shake that feeling – but I also know that by reaching out and sharing the POSITIVE that you’ve seen out of this horrible incident, you’re taking the first step toward controlling your own space, and perspective, again.

I can’t even imagine being in the house while this was happening – glad to hear you’re no worse for the wear. And the baseball bat guest book is a great idea! My wife and I had rocks signed that now sit in a vase in our guest room.
Thanks for this perspective, and thanks for meeting up in person on Saturday.
