Let me preface this post by saying that I have the most wonderful, hard-working husband and I'm so glad he's mine :) I stopped by the house this afternoon to check and see (yes our power is STILL out...), and start cleaning out the freezer. Greg's Mom and I packed up all the food that was salvagable (including our wedding cake top) and left because it was so hot and mildew/musty smelling.
Greg was unfortunate enough to have to work today, and after his 10-hour day, he headed to the house to see what he could fix. He wanted to make sure the floors and wooden stairs didn't get molded and rot, so he tore up all the carpet he could. I haven't seen it all first-hand yet, and I'm not looking forward to it. The pictures are all that I need to see....
Our entryway...
The living room.

The stairway :(
Baby Allison's future room :( You can see a corner of the ruined white dresser...
The hallway
At least we are blessed enough to have family that is close that will let us visit for a while!!! It's becoming a slumber party here at Greg's parents house. One of Erin's (Greg's sister) friends who lives in Houston and is out of power came to stay as well. We had a wonderful dinner tonight and I've been trying to find things to keep myself occupied today while Greg worked. Much to my Mom's surprise, I'm sure, I even gardened a bit this morning...that's almost unheard of for me!!! We did have a nice perk this evening though: Greg's Mom's masseuse came to the house this evening (because the power was out at her office) and we all got massages...so this whole Ike thing isn't all bad :)
I'll keep everybody posted. Take care :)

Hey! Where are you? Life must be SO CRAZY!
Oh Wow Andrea! I'm so sorry for all your damage from the hurricane. Are things getting back to normal at all now? How's your house - that is so dissapointing since you recently did all that renevating work. You seem to have a positive attitude though and I'm glad you are all safe. When is your due date?
