Blessings....

I just wanted to let everyone know our experience with Ike. I'll start by saying we are EXTREMELY blessed. Last Wednesday Ike was sill predicted to head to Corpus and Jason's "weather guy", Bob, at work gave an update that it would be headed to Galveston as a Cat. 4. He also said that the National Hurricane Center wasn't going to publish the information to the public until later that day and that there would probably be mass chaos when they did. We decided to pack up and head to my in-laws house in Bellville to attempt to beat the evacuation rush. (We were in the CRAZY traffic three years ago for Rita and weren't going to do that again!) We made it safe and sound with no traffic on Wednesday night.

The storm hit at 2 AM Satuday morning and out here, we just had a lot of wind and very little rain. We haven't lost power out here... thank goodness!

As for our house, we were SO blessed. Our trees were leaning slightly and some parts of our fence were down, but no structural damage at all! However, we, as everyone else are out of power..... with no idea of when we may get it back.

Jason's company is still trying to decide what they are going to do. Even though his office didn't lose power at all.... people can't get home, can't get gas and dont' have power at their homes. It's possible we may be put up in a hotel near his office later this week so that he can go to and from work.... we'll see!

I pray everyone made it through safely and that Galveston has a quick recovery!
Thank you everyone for thinking of us and praying for us!!!
Love to all....
