We survived

Gustav that is.


Since it was Labor Day weekend we had already had plans to head to family's house for a get together. In spite of the sistuation in the Gulf only a few days away. We had a great time there. Ate some good food, swam all day, and enjoyed being together. It was beautiful weather, and you would've never known what was to come in the next couple of days.

We came home Saturday night to get everything picked up and ready. We all stayed at my Mom's house and were stir crazy by the first night. Andre' loves the outside, and that was all he wanted to do, in the 75 mph wind and rain. But we faired well. Where we were the power never went out. We had TONS of canned goods, and snacks, and water, and charcoal. That I was kind of hoping we would get to use some of it, but really glad we didn't. We lost power at my house for 2 days, but had no damage. Thank God, time to look into renters insurance.

Prayers go out to all our neighbors who did sustain damage, and hope everyonr, and thing gets back up and running soon.

Now there is another storm brewing, and it looks like it's coming our way. I LOVE hurricane season. NOT!


On another note, today is my baby brother's birthday. I can't believe he's 22 years old. He bought himself a truck last week, all by himself. I'm so proud of him.
Happy Birthday Will!!
