After the evacuation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Schmidt's landed in Murfreesboro with their two beautiful children, Hana who just started as a freshman at Oakland High School and Ethan who is in 5th grade at Saint Rose.
Four years after the storm, like so many others, the Schmidt's are still dealing with the rebuilding process in New Orleans.
They have a studio that is nearly finished in Chalmette and a home that still has a little ways to go. Although many aspects of their lives have changed, the business they started together during the nineties in New Orleans has continued to prosper after being uprooted and replanted here in Murfreesboro. That business is Vdesign, a graphic design and web development company. Since Vdesign operates in both cities, Eric continues to travel between the two. I am happy to say Vdesign constructed my website and thank goodness we became such great friends afterwards cause this family RocKs! Check out their fantastic work at www.vdesign.com!
Although their lives and a lot of New Orleans will never be quite the same, I can vouch that Murfreesboro became a better place since the Schmidt’s arrival. My and many other's lives have become enriched by their friendship and I feel very fortunate to know and love such great people!
I hope you enjoy the sneak peek guys! Gumbo soon??? :)
