On the Move!

So I write this from my cousins Jeff and Melanie’s lake house. For those who don’t know Hurricane Gustav is in the Gulf of Mexico and it is going to hit the Middle of Louisiana. I live in Long Beach, MS and work in Pass Christian, MS, if anyone wants to look those up, and the east side of the storm is going to hit there, which is the strongest side. Yesterday when I realized that the hurricane went up to a category 4 I knew that I wanted to get out, it has since gone back down to a hurricane 3. So I packed up all that I have and I left. Philip and Jeanine came with me, so that I am not all alone. Which is really nice! Other than the hurricane this week was a lot of fun. We didn’t have any volunteers so we just did a lot of small things. We also got the trusses up on the Smith’s house, well not all of them, and hopefully they stay up! So it was a restful week too. Oh and I also started running this week! Philip and Jeanine run so I decided that I would start running with them. They run for an hour, which I did on Tuesday but it was too much for me and so I biked the next day and ran only 30 minutes the day after that. This week there was also a group staying in the house. They are from Arizona and were really nice, always inviting me out with them and visiting with me. They left Friday, which is good because they got out way before the storm. This week I ask that everyone be in prayer for the Gulf Coast, the three year anniversary of Katrina was this past Thursday and Friday, and to relive it all so soon has got to be hard. But God is good and knows what he is doing!

In His Name

This is Leah, who is technically my boss, but is more of a friend

This is Leah's mom Annette, she is lots of fun!

So this is a great picture! Leah is at the top then Sam, Matt's employee is hanging, then Philip is in the green shirt and Matt, Leah's dad is the guy in the yellow hat.

Annette also trying to help, but just being crazy!
