Still Evacuated!

We are not expected to get power back until at least next week sometime, Tuesday at the earlist...GRRRRR! This is frustrating, but I know that the electric company is doing the best they can during this time. I came back home yesterday after dropping my sister off in Huntsville. It added 2 hours to my trip, but it also gave me an excuse to leave. I dont know if anyone else feels this way, but when I am going to visit my family I am always so excited to see them...after about 2 1/2 days I am so ready to leave....then I end up crying when I leave. I know it sounds crazy, but thats me I guess. Anyway, my older sister gets on every last nerve that I have so I was really ready to leave. I came over to Scott and Ashley's (some friends of ours) and really lucked out, we only went without power for about 2 hours!!! So now here we are at Scott and Ashleys with power, which is really nice. When I first got here they were running on generator power, and had a window unit that they got from Ashley's parents.
Stores are starting to open up around here...there is still many places that are closed, but it is wonderful to see things being repaired so quickly.
Anyway, hopefully we will be getting home ASAP and starting back to our normal lives....I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends that were so gracious to us during this whole disaster!
Thank you Nikki, Travis, Mom (and family), Brittany and Carol for taking time and gas to come get JR, Scott and Ashley...you guys have been so great.
