IKE

So, this big bad nasty hurricane "Ike" blew through Houston and all its surrounding areas, after destroying parts of Galveston, this past Saturday, September 13. Olivia and I, believe it or not, slept right through the entire thing! Jesse was up and pacing most of the evening. We lost power around 1:00am Saturday and we were some of the lucky few whose power came back the same afternoon. Unfortunately, there are many poeple all around us who are still with out power, 5 DAYS LATER! I can not even imagine. My grandparents and my sister's in-laws are still without power, thank goodness we are all close by to help. We feel very fortunate to have everyone safe, but this was quite a humbling experience. Here are a few pictures of some before and after shots of our neighborhood and some surrounding places. Have you ever seen Wal-Mart shelves like this?
