Well, we are ok and got very lucky!!
Ike was no fun, let me tell you..
We had a houseful of 6 (which is normal most of the time, when Bryan and Gavin stay over!) Friday, and then as of Saturday went to 12!
We never lost power, Internet or cable!! Woo hoo
(I did forget to go online and change my lineup for fantasy football (I know, I know!) So my team is hurting b/c some of the players were on bye week or my beloved Texans didnt play) :(
Back to Ike.
Our fence is up, trees are still planted, and our roof is still on! Thats more than I can say for most of our neighbors though. We are very thankful...we seemed to have a bubble around our house! (God Bless!!)
I posted some pics on my last page, but here are a few more..they make me so sad
This is where Hooters and Murdock Pier used to be..
and this is what it looks like still at some gas stations around town
Please continue to pray for the victims of Hurrican Ike...it is going to be a while before things go back to normal in alot of places
Ok...CCBC (Cross Country Book Club for you newbies!!)...
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE what happened to me this weekend.
Here I am trying to finish reading Twilight, just sitting back relaxing...
decided I might be crushing on this Edward Cullen character (lol)...
when Bryan walk in the front door and says...
"You are not going to believe what we just found in the front yard"...
(as he is handing me this....)

yes, you read that right...
Holy Cow...I thought it was a joke, because I had literally just finished saying that maybe I should look for a vampire to date (haha)
No, not a joke. It was really in the front yard (and seriously, where would he have the time to find a vampire cd in the aftermath of a hurricane to play a joke on me with?!?!?)
So needless to say girls...garlic is hanging from all the doorways in my house!! ;)
Lets see if I have enough courage to keep reading this series!! lol I just finished Twilight and I cant wait to start New Moon!!)
Well, I hope everyone else is having a good week...I have more pics to come, but our desktop decided to get a virus and wont let me download them yet!
