The Breckenridges

Hello, everyone! Sorry it has been a while since I have posted. Life lately has been pretty crazy. Hurricane Ike swept through and in a matter of hours wrecked havoc on most of Texas. Our little house was in the middle of it all. I worked hard at the hospital through the storm, then we evacuated to Gatesville because we had no water or electricity. It was way too hot for Bella to stay at the lake house. I had to return to work today for the computer documentation training that we missed b/c of Ike. On Sunday, I have to work my first 12-hour shift as a nurse (in training, of course.) A bit apprehensive about it but I think that it will all work out. Just got word that the electricity is back on at my house, but with the shortage of gas in the area and my family far away, I am staying with a friend from work. We came out to her mom's house for tonight. The live on the other side of Lake Livingston in Coldsprings. It is beautiful here, with a nice breeze. The best part is that they have hummingbird feeders up all around the porch and lots of those little birds buzzing about. The hummingbirds definitely brightened my spirit and, as always, reassure me of the beautiful things in life I am so grateful for. Yes, hummers are still my most favorite things in the world. That's all for now. Until next time...
