Hurricane Ike

so im at my parents house. we knew it would be safer here than at the apartment. last night was so scary!!! the winds in nome were over 100. it ripped the boards off of almost every window. im so happy that we were blessed enough not to have a window blow out. my parents house did start to leak through the windows and from the light sockets. its because they lost all of the shingles on the back half of the roof. my parents house is in a huge field with nothing around it to protect it from the winds. i kept having flashbacks from the tornado my family and i were in during 1999. today the water pressure is very low---so taking a shower was quite a challenge. we drove to Beaumont and the west side on major doesn’t look bad at all. Our apartments fine. I don’t think I will ever try to stick out another hurricane again!!

amazing sound

Today i heard an amazing sound...our unborn child's heartbeat. Hearing it made the whole thing seem more real! I am so excited! March 22 is the due date. March will be a busy month of birthdays for our family--Aarons is the 1st mine is the 4th.

Busy Week

Saturday we went to one of Aarons cousins wedding:

Aaron, his grandpa, and I

Well last week was busy....lots of things went on. Friday was not a very good day. We found out that one of Aarons best friends had gotten killed in an auto-pedistrian accident. Its so hard for me to know what to say....so all i can really do is just be here for Aaron. Nick and Aaron were really close friends over the past few years. Aaron has the special honor to be one of the palbearers at Nicks funeral on Wednesday. I know that this week will be difficult on Aaron. Hes never had anybody close to him die. I know things happen for a reason, but it is still difficult for those having to deal with a tragedy.
