One year ago our family had yet another life altering event happen. At 2:30am we received a knock on our door that carried news that we did not want, nor expect to receive. Fire.
Crazy to think that it has been one year already since we lost:
-our family business
-memories of time spent creating the space
-space that provided memories to others
-a space that held hopes and dreams of future hopes and dreams for and with our kids

As we reflect back on the journey that started with an idea back in 2012, but the sweat equity began October of 2016. We then saw the doors open to the public July 2017 until November 30, 2023.

We constantly get people asking us if we are going to rebuild. There are so many layers to that answer when people ask us. Do we want to rebuild? Of course. Did we have insurance? Yes, but not enough to cover the current costs of rebuilding (sadly a 2X4 today is not the same price from 2016). Do we have jobs that we enjoy currently? Yes, times two. Do we miss the space? More than any words could be uttered.

We trust in God who has been and is still with us. This journey of working together as a family was experienced for a few years. We had six great years of blessing others and creating space for others to gather. It still feels like a loss of a family member to us at times. We truly do feel like this epic adventure is not over, we just are not sure what the next step will look like.

The Triple Box is not gone, even though we do not have a building anymore. We look to 2025 to see what lays ahead. We had six years of hard work. One year of rest. Now, we look forward to the future as we plow new fields.

It's crazy to see that it has been five months since we lost the The Triple Box building to the fire. On one hand it seems like forever ago. On the other hand, it seems just like the other day. A lot has happened and we have processed a lot. We were not ready to process this loss like a death, but there is truly is a lot of grief that is similar to grieving a loved one. It was not the tangible items that we mourn, but the stories behind them AND the dreams ahead that we had.
It is still literally daily someone is asking us "so are you going to rebuild?" We understand that comes from a place of wanting to bring encouragement for what we had or even just simple small talk....but they are extremely hard words to hear. How do we answer, yes we both feel led and compelled to rebuild something, but we know it will look different. How do you also share that the insurance was literally only a third of what the new value of the building was appraised at....
So we are bathing this in prayer as we know it will be a "fish and loaves" endeavor, but we know a guy. Creativity will need to be fully present!
In the mean time, we look to find a contractor who will work with us and volunteers, and sketch and dream.
This past year has been mentally and emotionally tough. Possibly one of the toughest years we both have encountered. We share this only to update you as we all are on journey together and in the relentless pursuit of who we are made to be. We will update more again when we have a tangible piece of news to share.....thanks for your time with us on this journey....
