I think that Bill and I have talked to most everyone since the Hurricane but in case we haven't, we just want to let you all know that we are alive and well and sustained virtually no damage to our apartment. :) We were only without power for about a day and then luckily we got it turned back on and then Russell, Jill and Luke came to stay with us. We had a blast with them and it felt like having a real live slumber party for 3 days! It was fun but then their power came back on so they moved back home. Since then most everyone we know has power back so that is good news.
Thank you to everyone who was praying for us and keeping in touch. It means a lot to Bill and I both that there are so many people out there who love us and care about us.
As far as Houston goes, the aftermath is pretty awful, just in the fact that you can't drive down the street without seeing down power lines, debris, huge branches stacked on the side of the road, etc. I have never experienced anything like this before and it is interesting.
My jobsite sustained virtually no damage due to the Hurricane which we were all ecstatic about and since we got power back at the job on Wednesday, work is pretty much back to normall.
We hope everyone is doing great and has an even better week. We love you all.

Family Photo
I haven't updated the blog with any pictures in a while so here is one of my family...
And speaking of family...we had Bill's dad over for dinner last night and it was the first time we used our fine china!! I was so excited about using our new plates (thank you Mr. T) and new salad bowl (thank you Dad and Sally). Bill and I cleaned like champs yesterday and we deemed our apartment the cleanest it had ever been! :)
Today we went to Crate and Barrel and Barnes and Nobles to get a few things and now Bill and I are "working". As you can see, updating my blog is far more important so I'll catch up on the work stuff this week.
Just to let everyone know, it isn't even raining here in Houston yet so I think we got lucky with Gustav - the rain is supposed to come in tonight but other than that, hopefully it won't do any damaging effects.
We hope everyone has a great week!
Love you all-
