We Have Power!

Not in some crazy sense, but electricty! After four days and being spared the worst of Hurricane Gustav, we've finally gotten our electricty back on and I'm happy to say we've got minimal damage and a whole lotta leaves, branches and limbs to clean up from our property. Thankfully we were spared from a water surge in our area like we had with Rita and the losses were minimal in comparison. The roads of our parish are filled with power workers from around the state and country getting people back on with electricty and people are slowly going back to work. Our kids don't go back to school until Monday, as a whole lot of people don't have power yet in ours and the surrounding parishes. There are people all along the coast, up in Baton Rouge and along corridor 49 who don't have their power back up yet and it will be a while in coming for them. We are hoping and praying that the rest of hurricane season is mild and uneventful. Thanks to everyone who opened their homes to our family during this time and the offers of safe haven. To everyone who thought about us during this time, your love and prayers are truly appreciated.
