Thanks so much to all of you who have called, sent text messages and emails to see if we're safe. We did arrive at my parents' house safe and sound. Justin had to go back for a shift (don't worry, he's essential medical personnel so he didn't get pulled over because of the curfew) and we're going to meet in Abilene tomorrow to get him a new truck. Did we tell you his car woes? Well, if you don't know, we'll save you the sob story, but we're getting him a new car! A truck, to be exact! My school was cancelled Monday and Tuesday so we're using the time to go get his truck from a dealership in Ballinger, where his parents live. He's getting a new black 2008 GMC Sierra crew cab (he's got to have a door to put Beanie in his/her seat). We're really excited, but please pray that we'll have a safe trip.
Justin was able to spend the night in our house for two nights, but our neighborhood still does not have power. Praise God that there is no damage to our house, just a slightly leaning fence, but Justin says it's REALLY hot there. He's going to try to update his blog from the hospital before his shift ends, as that's the only place he has power to do so.
Other than that, things are really good. I'm feeling good in my air-conditioned parents' house, and we've got plans to see the rest of the family and get a new car! What could be better?

Got your text message that you're now in the new truk...got to get a tennis racket-rack installed in the back window, for sure!
Hope you all have a great visit with the Smiths, and a safe drive back to Houston. Call us when you get home, and keep that lima bean comfy, too!
Love you!
Grandpa & Grannie D.
