I just wanted to quickly post and let everyone know we are all safe and sound. We appreciate all who have called, texted, etc. I apologize for not getting back to everyone. I have been sick this week so I haven't gotten much accomplished to say the least!
As you all probably know Gustav only hit as a category 2 hurricane when it had been predicted as a category 4, possibly 5 at one time. This was a great blessing because by the time it hit Lafayette, where our family lives, it was only a category 1. They lost power for a bit and one of their houses had a little water damage, but other than that, everything went very well! By the time the storm hit us it was only a tropical storm. We haven't seen the sun in days but there has been no flash flooding or tornadoes at all like predicted. The rain has been steady for the most part but honestly, we have probably seen worse storms than this one since we have been here. Many of our neighbors power has been off and on this week but ours has been fine. I almost think our friends in Little Rock, Arkansas have had it harder than us...they live more out in the country where I think the rains are a little harder to handle and more likely to cause damage. They have lost their power quite a bit and their kids were even in a car accident from the storm. We will be praying for them!

I am so glad everything worked out and everyone is safe.
We are so glad that prayers work and you all were kept safe. We were praying for Dan's family as well as the two of you. Haven't heard about any races lately, you slowing down Dan?
