IKE Took Our Bike :(



Catchy huh? Well not true...Ike did not take our bike (b/c we do not have one) but he did take our electricity and water for 5 1/2 days.

We are happy to say that we were unscathed by the storm. Our house on the other hand just needs a bandaid on the roof, a fan to dry out some minorly wet carpet and the fence to be put back together with wood glue. Okay wood glue won't work but maybe Duct Tape will.

We are so very thankful for our wonderful friends The Whites for letting us legally move in with them for a couple days...The Zamirippas for letting us use some of there power to juice up our cell phone....The Hunts for calling a stranger to find a friend (inside joke)...everyone else who kept us in their prayers.

There were definitely highlights to this natural disaster.
- Seeing the unity of neighbors and strangers helping each other.
- Playing Wii Olympic Games.....Fun Fun Fun
- Keedan having a ball with Zane and Jack.
- Having a Girls Night Out and going to the movies to see "Mama Mia"
- ICE Cream from Baskin Robbins...........soooooo yummy!
- Quizno's ....do I need to say anything else?
- The moment the lights came on......HALLELUJAH
Sorry no pics yet...camera is broken.
