Hooray!

Hooray, hooray!!! Granny and Papaw are coming back! After almost 2 years of their house being on the market, my parents finally sold their house. While they won't be coming back quite as close, their new house is only a few hours away, and we'll be able to have lots of fun visits. They left almost 3 years ago after hurricanes Katrina and Rita and they are very excited to come home. So, out with a hurricane, in with a hurricane. Bringing us to Gustav. Are you serious? The three year anniversary of Katrina is tomorrow, and Gustav is scheduled to hit Louisiana in a few days. However, I am glad to see that people seem to be taking this one much more seriously.

The parish we live in, issued a voluntary evacuation earlier today, but we're currently not sure what we're going to do. Once again, the LSU P-MAC will be a shelter, so I'm fairly certain I won't be going to work for at least a couple days. While it's still several days out, the news is saying the conditions in the gulf are very favorable for the storm to intensify. Right now we are just watching and waiting. All I know for sure, is that if we do leave, what an adventure it will be. Two adults, 2 50+ pound pups, an infant, and all our junk. Fun times!

But for now, we're concentrating on Grace. Her surgery is tomorrow, and we plan on hanging around the house, spoiling her rotten, and giving her lots of hugs and kisses to make her feel better. I also want to say thank you so much, to everyone that has been supportive about this. Nothing anyone can say will make us feel 100%, but it does help! Thanks.
