I'll never take electricity for granted again

Well we are still without power! CenterPoint Energy's website has a link that tells people their projected date of electricity restoration and we're pretty low on the totum pole. :) Our leasing office has told us it might MIGHT be on on Friday. As in next Friday.

So thank god Carol and Charlie do have power bc that's where we're shacked up! Along with Pops and Lou also.

So quick update: our apartment had some water damage, not rising water, but for some reason our carpet and walls in our dining room were soaked. Hard to tell what happened bc neither of us were there when the storm hit but oh well! We've told our office about it and don't have to worry about those repairs.

Our house in Fall Creek? Not so lucky. A pine tree in the vacant lot next to us decided to rest itself on our roof. So it went thru the roof and caused some structural damage to the roof and water damage to the walls inside. But on Monday when we went out to go look at it - we weren't there 5 mins and someone with David Weekley came out to look at the damage also. They said they'll have it fixed for us to close on Sep 29!

So we had damage and still don't have power but we're not hurting by any means. In fact - as I type Blake is getting ready to leave with his dad to go hunting, and I"m about to get packed up to escape to the Jacobson's river house!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Our love to all that are still without power - hopefully you'll get it back this weekend!
