pics of our apt!!

so since we have nothing else to do today....we figured we'd finally get ya pics of the apt!! check it out!!



















































the quiet after the storm

we are safe!! all is well, we headed to our friends house last night and hung out there. the storm headed east of us so we didnt get the worst of it. we hardly got any of it. just about 2 inches of rain and 50 mph winds. this morning we headed back to our apt and we didnt loose power here! so as we wait as the city starts back up - we went for a 2 mile run this afternoon! yeah!!

so once again, we are safe and doing great! no damage no nothing! thanks for all of your prayers for us, continue to keep our friends east of us in your prayers, sounds like it is bad over that way...

thanks again!

we are safe!

so as some of you know we tried to leave yesterday, we left at 10.30am and at 6.30pm we had only gone 25 miles. yes, 8 hours and 25 miles. so because of all the unknowns with traffic, water, and gas - we decieded to turn around and come home. so as of this morning, the hurricane is still moving more east, taking us out of the most dangerous part of the storm. so in about an hour or so we are going to shelter with our friends radkey and christine. they are in the northwest part of houston and have stocked up on everything we will need.

so keep us and all of our wonderful houstonians and neighbors in your prayers! we love you guys and will keep ya posted as well as we can.
