We survived our first hurricane that actually landed where it was projected to land, which we happen to be in the way of. It was a pretty scary experience and needless to say we didn't get much sleep Friday night. We are very blessed to have no damage to our house, just a few planks from the fence came off, but more importantly we are safe and dry. We lost power Friday night around 6:00 pm and got it back today around 3:30 pm. It has been a great chance to get to know our neighbors and spend some time unplugged from the world. Here are some pictures form our IKE experience.

Our neighbors love Edge...this was Friday after we lost power, all the neighbors came out of their houses.

Our only damage, the planks from the fence. The neighbor's ply wood came over and knock them down.

Ahh...the railroad fence! I'm so glad y'all finally got power back on and now you can make up for being hot by turning the air down really low! I bet going through the storm was scary, but I'm glad I got to text you thru it all and know that you, Guy and baby boy were all okay. Love you guys!
I am soooo glad y'all are ok. I was up most of the night Fri night watching the weather and worrying about you, Guy and baby Gee. Next time a hurricane comes, just drive up to Austin-I don't know if I can handle being that worried again :) Love you.
Thanks for the pictures, we are so glad everyone is okay!
Wow! I'm glad to see the pictures and am sooo glad ya'll made it! We were thinking of ya! Enjoy your "time off!"
wow, isn't that interesting that all the neighbors came out of their houses when the power was off? it's amazing that you guys didn't have any damage. so glad you are safe and have power again. how long were you off school? and AHH! only 75 days until your due date - that is so soon!
Just checking in on all of my blogging friends around town! SO glad ya'll are doing well and by the looks of it you have ice and that's very hard to come by! Hang in there!
You're a such a trooper to be pregnant and without air conditioning in Houston! So glad y'all didn't have damage to your house and have power again!
