Hunker Down

Houston is shut down and waiting for Hurricane Ike to arrive later tonight. We're all ready for the Hurricane Party - prepped with canned goods, charcoal (and lighter fluid), queso and chips, and even a birthday cake for our friend, Heather, who is riding out the storm with us.

For those concerned (MAMA), the officials have asked that anyone not under mandatory evacuation please stay in their homes throughout the storm giving road space to those who were required to leave their homes. We weren't planning to leave anyway, but that should be some reassurance!

You might also be interested to know that Houston is HUGE and we are on the north side! So, just because the news says something happened in Houston doesn't mean it happened to us!

We are fine and ready for the storm. I expect the electricity to go out at some point, but I'm hoping it isn't out long!

Please pray for all those being affected by the storm.
