I wanted to let everyone know the status of us & our home in the hurricane situation. Yes, we are staying here. We live in central Houston. We'll definitely be feeling it, but we are prepared. Galveston is the town that will be severely hurt, as it is right by the water. Their citizens are under a mandatory evacuation. Houston is not. And everyone we know here is staying.

We are as prepared as we can be and just plan to hide here and keep safe. See pics below of the fun stuff my daddy has done! ;)

Boarded up!

Nearly everything cleared off the patio...

Check this out!! It's a good thing we got gas earlier!!

This was around 6:00. Nice outside right now! We'll call this our "calm before the storm" photo. :)


So cross all fingers that things go as well as possible! We will almost surely lose power, darn it. So I won't be updating or available for a little bit!! But we'll chat after it's all done... :)
