Ike Update

We are ok and enjoying the air conditioning and hot showers up at my aunt's house in Burleson (south of Ft. Worth). We are still without power and it may be some time before it comes back on. The damage from all the trees down in The Woodlands is amazing. We lost one of our large trees in the back that fell into the two neighbors yards and took out one of their trees as well. Luckily it missed all three houses and only caused fence damage. Minor issues compared to what could have happened.
We ended up riding out the storm at my mom's house due to all the large trees around our house. She lost a few large limbs but no house damage as well. We stayed in College Station Saturday night at my brothers apartment but 4 extra adults and 2 dogs in a college apartment is a bit much. Not to mention their roomates were coming back in town and they had school on Monday so we decided to come on up to Burleson. I don't have any pictures to post yet but we are having a good time. Matt and I even took in a Cowboy's game last night - Matt's favorite team. We are trying to make the best of the situation knowing that it could be much much worse. We are blessed :)
