It has been awhile!

It has been a while since I last posted on the blog so, I thought I would do a quick update. Blake and I both survived Ike in our own ways. :) We had over 400 guests from the gulf coast in the City of Arlington for over a week. Luckily, we were able to get them all back to their home towns. Blake's ship weathered the storm from the south, they then went back up onto location and experienced some of the backside of the storm. What an experience for that land man. :) My mom and I had a cruise planned that we were afraid would end up cancelled due to the storm, however we were able to cruise out of the Houston port and had a great time on our trip. I was able to catch up on alot of sleep I had lost over the past month. We had two great ports of call and did some shopping in Cozumel and enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Progresso Yucatan. Anyhow, I have spent the last week trying to catch up at work. Blake is back out on the rig now and hopefully this will be a much calmer hitch for him.
