Well we survived the storm unscathed. A lot of our neighbors weren't so lucky. Many of them had several trees fall on their houses and put gaping holes in their roof tops. There were so many huge trees taken down by Ike that it caused mass destruction to the area power lines. It has now been almost 2 weeks without power. Ugh! We have seen convoys of electricians working to restore the power the past couple of days so hopefully today or tomorrow we will be back up and running. Luckily, we got a generator so we have been able to keep our fridge going plus some fans and every now and then we'll plug in the computer/tv! The past 2 days have been much better b/c our friends, Terrie & Jeramy, were so wonderful to let us borrow their generator, window a/c unit, & more fans!!! Then we were able to pass our generator to our neighbors so they could survive a little easier. Terrie & Jeramy got power back earlier this week so I was able to go wash some clothes (we had to go by new underwear b/c we were running out of clean ones!) and spend some time in a nice cool house. It has been hard on Hudson b/c he hasn't been able to sleep upstairs in his bed since its too hot and he is all out of his normal routine. However, we are very thankful that our house did not receive any damage and hopefully we will have electricity soon! I miss the microwave!!
