Happy Motherās Day to the woman behind the scenes of Cloud Nine Camping ā the part most people never get to see.
I (Matt) might be the one you see out doing the big, visible things at the campground, but the truth is without Hannah, Cloud Nine wouldnāt look anything like it does today. While Iām out working, sheās raising our daughter, keeping our home running, and juggling a partātime job from home with our toddler. And after all of that, she still pours whatever energy she has left into this dream weāre building.
A little backstory: when we were deciding whether to buy the campground, Hannah was pregnant with our daughter, Dixie. It was one of the scariest decisions of our lives. But she knew this was my dream ā something I couldnāt let pass by ā and her saying yes is the reason Cloud Nine Camping exists at all.
Then came another chapter. During Hannahās second pregnancy, we lost our child. It was one of the hardest moments weāve ever walked through. At the same time, she could see I was holding onto my old job for dear life with all of the chaos the was currently going on, currently running the campground, and working my current job. She knew, even in the middle of grief, that it was time for me to go allāin on the campground. It was a terrifying leap, but she believed in me, in us, and in what we were building.
She is the heart of our family and the quiet backbone of this entire operation.
So today, I want to say thank you, Hannah ā for the sacrifices no one sees, for the courage youāve shown through every season, and for believing in this dream long before it made sense on paper. Cloud Nine exists because of you.
Happy Motherās Day to the woman who holds our world together.
