a storm is brewing...

well, gustav did not hit houston and thus ike is trying to make up for it. it sounds like ike is heading straight for us, well a little bit south, but the storm will give us plenty of rain and wind! eveyone down here is going nuts trying to prepare- grocery stores and gas staions have lines as far as you can see and so my mom and i hit the mall, which was like a ghost town! we did wait in a line for awhile at the gas station to top off our tank on the way home and also rented a couple of movies from redbox in preparation of the satillite going out. i took some pictures while we were out running errands- the one is of no bread on the shelves at kroger and the other is of the crazy check out lines that went all the way through the isles to the back of the store at heb.

other than that, i am posting some long over-due pictures...nicholas and isabelle playing chase at my cousin casey's wedding, isabelle taking a bath in my bathtub, one from my bridal shower last week given by my mom's friend tammy, isabelle's cart she filled at the disney store, and nick and isabelle holding hands. isabelle was quite smitten with "neek-oh-lus" :)

my bridal shower was very nice- tammy did a lot of work including hand-sewing little dresses out of satin to put some treats in and give as favors. i got many very nice presents and the food was great...including some amazing little jalapeno and bacon stuffed croissant things.

yesterday i went to the arthur murray studio here in cypress to see where i will be working...i stayed for the group hustle lesson and the party where i danced with all sorts of weird men! it was fun to be dancing again and my feet are getting used to spinning in those heels again :)
