After the storm, we were without power for 6 days. It was a very long long time to be without power, we are very blessed that it finally came back on last Thursday because most people in our ward are still without power. It's really sad. Things seem to be getting back to normal somewhat around here, the grocery stores finally have food, and you don't have to wait 2 hours to get gas anymore. Our good friends Mike and Andrea have been staying with us this week because they are Hurricane Ike evacuees. Mike is going to Med school in Galveston, and they left a week before the storm hit with about 3 days worth of clothes not knowing the storm would hit Galveston and not knowing how bad it would be. They were finally able to get to Galveston yesterday to go through their muddy smelly apartment to salvage what they could. We have enjoyed having them here. They are going to Utah in a couple of days till further notice.
Anyways, things here are ok now. We luckily had a gas stove so we could still cook, and a generator to run our fridge to keep our food cool. We are so much luckier than most people around here. What would we have done without that generator? Here is how we spent our evenings. Dinner by candlelight.

That is craziness, but I'm so glad you guys are okay! How good of you to take people in like you did. I'm sure they were very grateful!
I am glad that you had a generator and that your power is back on. I hope that things get back to normal soon. Say hi to mymy and Andrea for us.
