I think the fact that neither you nor anyone in your family found themselves in solitary confinement picking meat out of your teeth, or worse - dead, is a sign you're in the clear now.
Sounds to me like you guys had a very nasty bug.

I am just hoping we had a mild version, making us immune...
A girl can dream, right??

Do all the "zombies" have animal bites? If not then your theory falls to nothing, plus the rabies virus way of infection occurs through the bloodstream, hence why when the skin is broken you go to the E.R. It isn't like a rash where skin to skin contact spreads the disease therefore sweat isn't a viable vector for Rabies.
A South Carolina woman has been diagnosed with a potentially deadly flesh-eating virus and is currently in critical condition, her husband said Thursday. Lana Kuykendall gave birth to twins on May 7 and was discharged soon after, but she returned to the hospital days later after noticing a rapidly expanding bruise on her leg. Doctors have since removed the dead skin and the tissue from both her legs and she is now on a ventilator, and her husband said she is suffering from the flesh-eating virus, although doctors have not publicly confirmed it. The case comes just weeks after Georgia graduate student Aimee Copeland contracted necrotizing fasciitis after cutting her leg while ziplining and is also currently on ventilator.
SAY HELLO TO SYNTHIA In 2003, JCVI successfully synthesized a small virus that infects bacteria. By 2008, the JCVI team was able to synthesize a small bacterial genome. On May 6, 2010, JCVI revealed they had already created a self-replicating bacterial cell controlled by a chemically synthesized genome they named “synthetic Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0”. (7) This completely synthetic cell with its computer designed genome has absolutely no natural DNA. (1) The etc group from Canada named it Synthia and it contains added watermark chains to identify the genome as artificial. It also has antibiotic resistance indicators. (7) One can only speculate why this artificial bacterium has an inherent programmed capability to resist antibiotics.

How do you know what exactly the properties of an -engineered- virus are? (which is what we're talking about)
Normal rabies i'd instantly agree with you but we're talking about a hybrid variant concocted by the CDC here.

Who knows...
Maybe this is what the swine flu vaccines were all about.

Okay fine, but I guess I don't know, because I'm not trying to act paranoid. However I still have yet to see proof that blood is not the vector for rabies. Has any person that was attacked by a "zombie" went on to attack another person? If not then this theory falls to nothing again.
