Hurricane Ike


Look at the size of this storm! It engulfs the Gulf! It's radius is estimated at 115 miles; a VERY large storm. Ike is predicted to make landfall around Houston, TX on Saturday morning. Although we are not in the direct path this time, we will be on the east side of the storm. This means we will have LOTS of wind and water, so technically, Ike could have more of an impact on our area that Gustav did. Evacuation of the lower parishes (counties) started today, and school for Lafayette Parishes have been canceled for Friday, September 12th.

Again, we are staying, but this time, Trevor is with us! He flew in from Brazil this morning. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

Wow, we'll definitely keep you in our prayers! Darren always talks about how he wants to live in the deep south, but I kind of have issues with the whole idea of hurricane season. Let us know how everything turns out for you guys!

The Great Annual Birthday Gift Hunt

Please allow me to introduce you to a (first generation) Wright birthday tradition.  Would you like a little history? When you have only one child, there's a tendency to spoil them, even by accident. I noticed this the first few Christmases after Aisling was born. While looking at our Christmas tree, I couldn't help but notice the "bare" space beneath it--the beautiful tree skirt was almost in full view except for a few brightly wrapped presents. Comparing this view to what we imagine a Christmas tree scene should look like (i.e. LOTS of presents and almost NO view of the tree skirt because of the overflowing amount of gifts-Have you watched any Christmas movies at all?) made me want to run to my nearest shopping center and buy things like a crazy woman on a shopping spree.  Luckily, my good sense and logic won out, and I started looking for other more reasonable and viable alternatives.  Does my child really need to have 20,001 gifts under the tree just so ...

25 Things

Okay...so I've been tagged several times on Facebook and I've been absent from the blogging world for almost a month. I'm really sorry. I'll play now, but I can't guarantee next week or even tomorrow. 1. When I'm feeling down, I hide-out in my home. No blogging, no talking to friends, very few calls to family, little to no socialization (only the most necessary interaction happens. i.e. church callings and/or when a very close friend realizes that I'm on a downward spiral and decides I need to get out of the house at all costs.) 2. While barricaded in my home, I tend to either read a lot of fiction (remember, I'm trying to "get away" from the real world) and/or start-continue-finish medium to big project(s) in an effort to boost my spirits. 3. For the last two to three weeks, I have taken apart the master bathroom, and now I'm attempting to put it back together. What does that entail? Removing the toilet, taking apart all of the cabinet d...
