We will forever be grateful for our friends that offered up their homes and ammenities to us while we had no water or power! I'm not sure what we would've done. You couldn't find a hotel closer than San Antonio! We feel very blessed to have had a place to go during the aftermath of Ike.
Here's some pictures I managed to take during all the craziness:
Our lovely fence
More of our lovely fence
Some trees in our community
Lots and lots of water and more neighbors with their fences down
A lot of home with damaged rooftops needing tarps
We had a bbq with our neighbors to grill up all the meat we were going to lose. Good times.
Keedan and Kenzi
This is what Kenzi's diet consisted of most of that day: Cheetos and more Cheetos
Obviously we've had to spend A LOT of time on our cell phones. Kenzi didn't miss a beat and got in touch with all her "contacts" as well, letting them know we were all OK!I am SOOO glad to be back home and back in my own bed! Now it's time to get to cleaning! We need to finish drying out our carpet in the kids' rooms, lots of laundry, scrub down the fridge, vacuum, mop, etc!!! Lots on the To-do list today and I'm actually looking forward to getting it done!!! Thanks again to everyone that sent e-mails or left comments on the blog. Your thoughts and prayers were certainly felt during this CRAZY storm!!! I hope to not have to go through another one!!!!
