THE EAGLES!!

I almost forgot! We went to the Eagles concert this weekend, but I forgot my camera to take a picture. They didn't allow camera's inside anyway. THEY ARE AWESOME. They still sound exactly like they did thirty years ago. It was fun watching sixty year olds rock out.

Yikes! Ike!

Vernon got a call from his opposite on Sunday to let him know that one of his platforms was gone, stilts and all. Now, this wasn't just a little toadstool it was one of the largest platforms in the gulf. The helipad alone sits 100 ft off the water. The last wave recorded before it's little box recorder went out was 40 ft. Can you imagine such a huge wave right in the middle of the ocean? Thank goodness they evacuate!! So, they want Vernon to make a list of everything he had on the platform so he can be reimbursed. A laptop, an Playstation(Blu-Ray of course), our retirement savings, and a priceless family heirloom. J/K Luckily, he only had some flight uniforms which are easily replaceable. The hurricane pushed some beautfiul weather up our way. Now, it just needs to share it with the poor people down south, so they can get back to their homes those who are luck enough to have one left. Our prayer go out to those who have lost so much, I can't imagine having to start all over again.

My Labor Day Suprise!!

So I was feeling pretty blue this weekend because Vernon had already been gone for two weeks, and I still had another week to go until he came home. Then to boot, after he had evacuated everyone for the hurricane the company stuck him in a hotel in New Iberia that was part of the mandatory evacuation zone. So, I was getting ready for a holiday filled with homework, and worrying about my husband. Well, Vernon calls me Sunday night to tell me that someone from the ward was dropping some information off for him and to answer the door. (I normally don't answer my door when Vernon is gone) So, about ten minutes later there is a knock on my door and guess who it was? MY HUBBY!!! I can usually tell when he has got something up his sleeve, but I was so suprised, and estatic. Just ask Vernon, I jumped up and down for about a half an hour. Needless to say we had a great Labor Day, and I didn't get any homework done.
