Hurricane Hit

Well were do I begin. Life has a way of making you realize what is important and what is just excess baggage. We are having some struggles right now but with the Lords help we will overcome them quickly. Last week Hurricane Gustav hit Louisiana and did a lot of damage. David and I were busy helping with the evacuees at the church from Saturday until Wednesday morning. Wednesday morning David called to check on us because he was at the church and saw flooding. I woke up and put my foot in water and at first I thought the kids had been playing in water and left the floor wet. It took my brain a few minutes to wake up but when it finally did I realized that the house was flooding and that I needed to get the kids out. Needless to say it was quite an experience and will be something that affects us for a while. Jared was soo cute. I had put him on the couch to sit for a minute while we got the other kids together and he said, "Momma! I want my swimming suit so I can go swimming in the house!" Boy they can be cute. Our house is drying out but in order to get it dry we had to take out all the carpet, our new laminate flooring, the bottom 12 inches of sheet rock, the paneling in the living room and the laundry room. We still have to take out the sheet rock in the 2 bathrooms and the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms. I have a mess it looks like someone just decided to destroy the whole house. We brought the kids to mom and she watched them from Wednesday until Sunday. She also did all the laundry. Thank you Mom. WE have a place to stay thanks to some very dear friends and all will be well. It just is a matter of remodeling and hopefully it will be better off when it is done than it was before. However because of this major problem I don't have a computer at home and it will probably be a while before I get back to blogging better. I love you all and hope that you are all doing well.

Lots of Love
