Hurricane Ike

I know I got quite a few phone calls on Saturday asking about the Hurricane and Austin, well, we are fine. I believe the eye was still somewhat close to Austin (maybe 60 miles away), but luckily we were on the west side of the hurricane which is always the weakest, plus there was a pressure system (low or high, I dont remember) that was pushing it even more east. We were prepared for power outages and high wind, we had water, flashlights, candles, and pulled in both cars and the grill, but of course, we didnt get anything. No rain, 15 mph winds, yup, thats all :)

Because of Ike we actually have a cold front this week, it was 68 on my way to work today and the highs are supposed to be in the high 80s, so I am very excited about that. It is supposed to last all week, but Im not holding my breath, but will enjoy it as long as its around!!
