Hi Ladies! Time for a check in!
We're good. The power went out around 12 on monday and we got it back today at noon. The area around me wasn't bad at all. We were safe and just got a little water in our kitchen from the back door but no damage. The only damage was to my nerves because I was FREAKING OUT!
Re: Check in
We made it back today. We have roof damage, fence down, gutters gone, the metal roof on our shed is peeled back, the gate in front of our house is holding on for dear life and my toperaries (sp) are laying across the lawn. But I can honestly say I am very thankful because this is only minor damage. We never lost electricity but we cleaned out the freezers before we left and took the food with us. There was a girl who worked at the hotel we were staying at that was a single mom and we gave her all the food and it was enough to feed 4 families.
We got back last night, and I'm at work. Yeah, because right now what NoLa needs are graphic designers. Sure.?
We had no real damage except branches down and our garden looks like hell. The rivers are scary high and we had a message on our answering machine telling us it was a mandatory evacuation and to get out when we got home. That was surreal.
Other than one to many boring days in Starkville, MS. We're fine. I'm leaving early today to actually clean up my yard, plug everything back in and go grocery shopping. We cleared out the fridge/freezer before we left but went to an apt. full of hungry college students. We didn't have much left to bring back!

We got back yesterday, no electricity, but it came on late last night. Everything in our freezer was STILL frozen...thank God. During Katrina the thursday before it hit, we had stocked it $400 worth. This time we didn't stock it but it didn't spoil. So happy!
Here's hoping we dodge Ike. I hate evacuating almost

Here's hoping we dodge Ike. I hate evacuating almost as much as I hate keeping our lives on hold while waiting to see what happens. UGH.
We arrived back home on Wednesday. No real damage just some facia blown off the sides of the house. We didn't even lose power here, our clocks were not even blinking!! The big pain was trying to conserve water in Jefferson Parish when I had a pile of laundry and searching for milk for 4 hours. I went to Sams again today and they still aren't operating at 100% so that is slightly annoying, but all in all, because it could have been A LOT worse I am so grateful.
Back to work tomorrow!
