Yeah. Sorry about the no updating thing. We are still without power in our house (10 days now... or something?). We've been out of our house for 12. We've been staying with Nonnie and Granddad who have a generator that runs the whole house and room for us. Though, it's not run for the entire day, so Internet time is scarce.
As soon as we have power we're moving back in since everything is livable and I'll get back to updating you more often on the adventures of M-4.
Many people have been asking us how we are doing. Well, I think our emotions swing from being incredibly, ridiculously grateful for how blessed we are (cause it could have been a lot worse) to being very weary and frustrated and just plain tired. We're ready to go home, obviously. This experience has been such a roller-coaster.
But, I think it has given us a whole new compassion for people that have been displaced from their homes. I mean, we're working on only 12 days, and we've been living in really nice conditions, considering. I cannot even imagine the frustration, helplessness, hopelessness, and weariness of having to stay out for weeks and stay in overcrowded shelters. My heart goes out to everyone in that position. Please keep praying for everyone in the Houston/Galveston/Beaumont area as we try to get back to "normal." Or maybe just how things were with a little more compassion, patience, and appreciation.
