Hey everyone-I finally got onto the internet today because Casey's office miraculously had power!
Ike came ready for a fight, but we're still standing. It seems the "panic mode" that everyone was in before the storm has only intensified, though. As gas stations get power one by one, the lines to the pump stretch on forever and frozen water is all of the sudden as valuable as gold. We stayed with the kids at my parents house during the storm since they have a gas grill. Oddly enough, we've eaten better in the past few days than most other times, grilling every last morsel of meat from our freezers so it doesn't go to waste. Saturday night's meal was a virtual buffet of turkey burgers, pork tenderloin, potatoes, corn on the cob, followed the next day by a mountain of chicken nuggets. Each evening it's as if we've jumped into a time machine, and at once we hunker down by candle light to sit around and listen to the radio until we head off to bed by ten o'clock.
It's been an interesting few days, to say the least. We spent the better part of 9 hours working to restore my parents yard to its former glory and our house is just a few more hours short of restoration as well. It's clear that many people were not as fortunate, though, and we are thankful to be safe and sound.
I hope everyone in the area is alright and recovering!

Hey there! Glad to hear from you! Would love to have you to the ATL! :) Wish we could chat too...have thought about calling you a couple times, but I can't even get a hold of my parents! We find out a week from Thursday what we are having and are super pumped! We will keep you updated! Hoping you get power soon!
xoxo
It's been so weird having this happen to family and friends and us still not being able to communicate. We still haven't heard a thing from any of Brad's family. Glad you guys are almost caught up on restoration.
