OK... I never kept up with hurricanes, tropical storms, crazy coastal weather until I moved down to Southeast Texas 6 yrs ago! I mean, I grew up in West Texas where its flat land, mesquite trees, oil jack pumps, and West Texas football. (which is the only thing anyone cares about) Anyway, I only have a quick moment to post as my husband just got home from work and we have to pull in all our potted plants, lawn chairs, etc. As of yesterday, a quick disturbance formed in the gulf and quickly moved to a Tropical storm and might become a hurricane as it hits landfall Tuesday morning. Crazy!!! I mean I thought I was doing good at getting to Kroger at 8:45 am this morning and the place was already hopping. Bread, peanut butter, water, ice, etc. Everyone had the same items in their baskets. Hmmm, I am thinking at this point, I wasn't that worried but seeing so many people filling up their baskets and grabbing batteries and flashlights like it was Christmas time at a toy store, this took my nerves to a different level!
Then, I am thinking hmmm...God did you really move me to a place that I have to board up windows, stock my shelves for my kids sake, and tune into the weather like 24/7? Hmmm, Colorado or Tennessee mountains sound soo much better about now! :)
Well, we are ready to go! Keep us in your prayers as you read this or think of our family. I'll be posting more soon, if we have power. Thanks Y'all!
