Wow, what a week! Unfortunately Ike did not take a hike, he came right over the top of us. We survived, our house survived, and our cars survived, but our power did not. We have been without power since Friday night/Saturday morning until this morning at 8:45. I was in a very restful, deep sleep (I have been able to sleep in these days!) when I heard a small siren outside our house. I shot up, looked outside and didn't see anything, so I turned around and saw the most beautiful sight I have seen in a long time...the bathroom light was on and my alarm clock was flashing a red 12:00. I shot out of bed cheering, running downstairs to share the good news and no one was around except Ethan. He didn't join in the dancing, he just thought I was crazy.
We definitely are a lot better off than a lot of people in Houston, so I regret all of the complaining I may have done over the last week...
With that said, here are some of the before and after pictures of our house as well as some pictures from our neighborhood.
