I’ve been working out for the past week, and I was just starting to feel a little younger. Today I just received the postcard inviting me to my 10 year reunion next June. 10 years is a long time. I guess I better keep working out.
…about going to a baby shower. The cakes and cupcakes smell wonderful, and I can’t wait to dig in tomorrow. The main problem with that is that I’ve just recently resolved to losing some weight. I’m about 40 pounds too heavy and I need to lose some, if not all of it. Last night I… Read More: I’ve Never Been So Excited… »
Dad called me last night to find out about the Astros schedule for the post-season. He had just gotten out of a cold shower and was sweating already because they still didn’t have power being close to Beaumont. He was setting up the generator to run a window unit during the night. He told me… Read More: Mom & Dad »
We arrived home yesterday around 4pm after leaving Brownsboro around 9am. We had no electricity and it was pretty hot inside the house. Everything was just as we had heard from a few people who stopped by earlier to check it out for us; the fence was down, there were branches and leaves all over… Read More: Home »
I heard this evening that someone from our church went by the house to check on our stuff. The fence between us and the neighbor fell into her yard, but it didn’t look like anything else was damaged. Not even my building! That made my day much better. My parents don’t know yet whether there… Read More: My Storage Building! »
We got up at 2:30am yesterday morning to leave at 3, but didn’t end up leaving until around 3:30am. We started heading up 225 and I was thinking, “This is GREAT! We’ll be in Athens in, at most, 6 hours.” As soon as Beltway 8 was in sight, I saw nothing but lights… standing almost… Read More: 18 Hours On The Road »
We’re leaving in the morning (3am) to head up to Athens, TX. We’ll be staying through Rita and hopefully be home on Sunday night. I pray that everything here stays in tact, and we don’t have any major damage. I just finished building a storage shed in the backyard, and I’d hate for all that… Read More: Leaving Home (RITA) »
Christle and I went to go for our normal shopping trip, and I figured I’d get some extra water, and a few things to cover us just in case we didn’t have power for a few days. We got to Wal-Mart around 5:30pm and they were running out of drinking water. I had a pretty… Read More: Supplies for Rita »
Apparently there is a tropical storm brewing near the Keys, that is heading in our direction. Rita hasn’t been called a hurricane yet, but should be soon after passing the keys and gathering strength in the Gulf. The path she’s taking looks almost exactly like that of the hurricane that went through Galveston about 100… Read More: Rita »
Seeing all of the support from people in Texas for the refugees from New Orleans makes me feel proud to be a Texan. Our church just sent a huge trailer full of supplies to the people affected by Hurrican Katrina, and it felt good to be part of that. I’m happy to see everyone pulling… Read More: Proud to be a Texan »
