HURRICANE IKE

I will start off by saying everyone is fine!!!!

I was on a cruise with my sister, mom and Aunt during the actual hurricane and Allen took Travis to Brad's families ranch house west of Austin for a long weekend.

The bad news is that we had a tree hit the front left corner of the house, right over Travis' room. There is a big whole in the roof and alot of water damage to the room. I will post pictures soon.

Allen and Travis returned to Houston on Sunday and I returned on Monday. Thank you to our neighbor who weathered the storm to try to cover the whole in the roof, and Bill who went back after the storm was over and put some wood and tarp over it the cover it even better, and cut the tree off of the house.

After Allen got home Bill went with him to the house and shot video of the damage, then cut out the damaged drywall, and removed the damaged carpet and pad so we could reduce our chances of mildew and further damage. This was a huge help, so thank you again Bill.

We were without power until Saturday afternoon, and just got cable back today, I feel like I am part of civilization again:)

The insurance adjuster came by yesterday and it looks like we should be able to get the work started to fix the room and Travis' room sometime next week. (Travis is currently sleeping in the guest room, and will keep the full size bed even after we move him back into his old room, he is soooooo excited!)

Anyway to end this long explaniation I am back to work, and although Allen's dealership is still power less they told him to come back tomorrow.

I hope everyone is well, I know it is been a rough week or so for everyone, hang in there:)
