Just wanted to let everyone know that we are hunkering down for Hurricane Gustav. We are pretty much in it’s direct path, but not on the coast. We are in the capitol of Louisiana and it’s just a tad frantic here. Just going through Katrina three years ago was life changing. It’s hard to describe to someone who didn’t live through it. While we didn’t have any direct damage, our city changed in so many ways and our lives were so interrupted, it’s hard to describe. I can’t even imagine the people who lived in New Orleans. I am just praying that this hurricane somehow just goes POOF and disappears! Or at least weakens significantly before landfall. I don’t wish a major hurricane on anyone.

I will update as soon as possible. After Katrina we didn’t have power for over a week. With Hurricane Andrew we were out of power for two weeks. If you try to contact me and I don’t get back with you right away please realize that I may not be able to for a little while.

Please pray for our families safety, all of Louisiana, the entire gulf coast, and that lives are spared.
