Update

Just a quick update on our situation. Dan and Nate went back into Houston area today. Dan just called and said our place is fine. We lost a tree in the front yard and a panel on the fence...that's about it. We feel so grateful...a house just down from us lost the whole side of their house. Nate lost his whole fence and some shingles. He has some water leakage but that's all. We all feel so blessed. Dan's job site is probably not so lucky. The Galveston Courthouse which is not too far away had 3 feet of water in it. They aren't letting anyone on the island and probably won't for a while so we don't know what is going to happen there?? For now we are just waiting for the power to be turned on at home. The kids and I are still in Austin. I won't take them back without power, it is so hot and humid and would be completely miserable. We are so grateful for the Anderson family letting us stay here. They are taking good care of us and we really appreciate it.

So glad that you guys are OK along with your house! That is quite the adventure for your first month of living in Texas :)

We've been thinking a lot about you guys with all of this news about the hurricane. Thanks for the update. We are glad that your family has been so blessed. Good luck with all of the clean-up!

Woah man, crazy! So glad to hear you guys are doing alright, and that everything is in tack. My family in Cincy even got some mad 85 mile an hour wind from Ike, and most of the city is out of power.
