Ike Update - I'm back up and running!!!

I now have a new found appreciation for electricity, hot food, gas and cell phones! Hurricane Ike blew through and left us without these things since last week. It was quite and adjustment, but if you take away the destruction that hit this area along with Ike, it was actually kind of nice to slow down a bit. I got to spend some time with just the boys and Jon without PS3 games or DVDs....that probably won't happen again for quite a while! It made Jon and I stop and remember what it was like when we were kids without all of the electronic gadgets to keep us busy. Neighbors gathered in the streets for chit chatting, families took walks and bike rides together more than ever and kids stayed outside playing till dusk....love it. Now we have power back to normal and everyone is back to their busy lives again. Thanks to everyone that checked on us during and after the storm!
