Texas Bound

Tonight, Chris left for Texas. He is going with Lifeline Ambulance Service out of Christiansburg, who is contracted through FEMA, to assist in disaster relief and transports predicted with Hurricane Ike. Right now it is unknown how long he will be there. It could be two weeks, it could be a month, it just depends on how hard the hurricane hits. The first crew from Lifeline has been in Florida for the past two weeks assisting with the last hurricane. Now, FEMA has redirected all emergency services to Texas. Chris' good friend is already down there. What most of you don't know is that the longest Chris has ever been away from us is two days. So, as you can imagine, this is going to kinda be a culture shock. The kids are handling it okay however Cameron knows more about where his dad is going and what he will be doing so he is a little more concerned than the girls are. Needless to say, he has been glued to the Weather Channel all evening. I am sure that will be a staple channel in our house until Chris returns.
So, when you say your prayers at night, say a little one for Chris and our family. I will keep you posted.......
