Mark is on his way North as I type. In all his preparations to get the house and church ready, he forgot to fill the van up so he's hoping to encounter a station quickly. I've seen on the news that wait times are 2-3 hours for gas and they're only allowing you to get 10 gallons at a time. Hopefully once he gets North enough he'll be able to fill up. Living down in the land of refineries you quickly get a sense of how important those facilities and jobs are, not just to our community but to the entire United States. The refineries less than 30 minutes from us process several million gallons of crude oil daily.
I'm very thankful that he's on his way. It's been very stressful dealing with the kids and two evacuations in less than three weeks and now just knowing that you can't go back to your house. It's hard. We're hopeful that we'll know more as the days progress and that we can all be back in Beaumont soon, slipping back into our routines. The boys were just starting baseball season and Ella was looking forward to starting gymnastics.

hope Mark made it safely- if we had known he needed gas, there is a bit in our garage left over from topping off our tanks! i miss my neighbor! i don't know what to tell you about enrolling in school- might be a good idea, even if it's just a few weeks. keeps them busy! at least you are safe, and so are the kids. i'm thankful at this moment that we do have family far away! i usually am complaining about them being so far away, but it's nice to be "home"- we're going to start school up again tomorrow and go looking for a new car here in TN if insurance will let us. enjoy the hurrication.
