Ahh... It's Good to Be Home!

We just got back home tonight after a WILD last few weeks!!

It all started when we evacuated to Pensacola for Hurricane Gustav... The 3-hour trip took us 9 1/2 hours through the night (the traffic was unreal!!). We stayed with some friends in Pensacola until our local-government's website said our subdivision had power.

We got home at midnight to find out that we did NOT have power, so we stayed with Jen's folks for 3 nights until we did get power.

We got to sleep in our own bed for ONE night, then left for an already-scheduled trip to Disney World with the kids. We left not knowing if we'd even have a New Orleans to return to because Hurricane Ike supposedly had us in his sights.

Well... Ike didn't hit us & Disney was amazing!! I look forward to sharing some lessons-learned (for the church) from our trip... Stay tuned: some of these may surprise you!

Tonight we'll sleep in our bed for the 2nd time since August 30th (4 weeks ago today)... Jen & I are SO glad to be home!!
