So I have been HORRIBLE about updates!

I know, I know. I said I would try to keep this thing updated but in all fairness we had company that threw our nice little world into chaos. He goes by the name of Hurricane Ike.

Before we get into the whole story, I will tell you our house had no damage and everything here is finally back to normal minus the forest of trees that are still in my backyard.

The Wrath of Ike

Mr. Risk Management had me evacuate on the Wednesday before the storm and before any type of evacuation notice had been issued. In true Andi form I put up a little argument because I didn't think the storm would be that big of a deal and I couldn't believe he was going to send me packing with a few weeks worth of clothes, some precious pictures, his unborn child and TWO CRAZY 50 POUND DOGS all in Sholonda the Honda. Seriously people. But he did, so off we (me, Avery and Mallory) headed to Ft. Worth for what would turn out to be a 2 week Hurri-cation. While there was no damage to the house a tree had fallen on our power line so we had no electricity for 2 solid weeks. Due to my "fragile" state we did not think it was a good idea for me to come home to the hot Houston weather and risk mass murder by pregs due to extreme heat. So I commenced on a Trip of Texas. I spent a few days in Ft. Worth, a few in Dallas, a few more in Silsbee, a couple in College Station, and as I was settling in for my Houston visit I got the glorious call from Tommy about the electricity being back. I hurried my tail home to see him because he was on Hurricane crew, so he had stayed home working the entire time. I didn't realize how much I like being home in my own little house until I was away and actually couldn't go back. Tommy says I am too attached to my "stuff". I tell him to shut up.


We only got our internet back up and running a couple of days ago and have been marathon painting with the help of Saint Mom and Saint Steven. They came and stayed a week to help Tommy and I paint every room (and ceiling) we could get to. That ended up being Luke's room, the hallway, the entry way, and the front living room. As well as get all of Luke's furniture into his room. They worked so hard and we are so grateful.


If you are still with me that shows true dedication. I will post again today with some pictures of Erin's Ring Dunk in College Station that happened during my Hurri-cation. It will include the long awaited...Belly pictures.
