Ike

After reading through my last post I wanted to laugh because I honestly had no idea the effect this hurricane would have on us. That night the hurricane knocked out our power around 2:30 Saturday morning and little did we know it would be out until Monday of the following week- 10 full days without power. We were blessed to stay safe during the storm and nothing happen to our house. That Saturday afternoon Evan and I and his co-worker Eric (who is a good friend from college and who was also in our wedding) headed to Dallas for a week. The break that Ike gave to me was much needed! I had so much fun in Dallas! I even cried the whole way back to Houston because I did not want to leave. Dallas is home to me. I loved getting to see friends such as Chrys and her two boys, Jennifer and Austin, Angie, Trichelle, Casey, baby Parker and spending time with my mom and dad. I had a blast and did not want to return to the reality of work and life away from friends and family.
As I've gotten older I've learned to appreciate relationships with friends and family so much more. They are all you have. Thank you again for everyone being such great hosts! We had a blast.
Tuesday, is my next doctors appt. -- I'm so excited about hearing the baby's heartbeat again and making sure everything is ok! -- April can't come soon enough!

Please comment if you are keeping up with the blog! I want to hear from you!
