Update August 30

by Tammy on September 1, 2005

Well I know its been awhile since my last post but as you all know..life gets in the way of other things sometimes. Dan has been busy with school and I’ve been working hard on the radio show as well trying to generate multiple streams of income (working from home)

The girls are doing well also. Kiersten started school 2 weeks ago and Becca starts school on Tuesday. This is her first year of preschool so she is very excited about it. I am too but also a little sad… my baby is going off to school. :) LOL

Ya know sometimes life is going so well and then BOOM tragedy strikes. Yes I’m referring to the tragedy of Katrina. As many of you know I grew up in the surburbs of New Orleans and spent many years going to school, working, etc in the city of New Orleans. Now, my hometown is under water. Luckily my family were smart and fortunate enough to evacaute from the area. They are currently near Shreveport, LA and will be making their way to our home in North Texas next week.

We don’t have confirmed information about my dad’s house, his rental property or my grandmother’s home. My grandmother lived in a low-lying area of New Orleans, so we are pretty sure that the house is filled with water.It’s a shame really..my grandmother lived there for over 40 years there with my grandfather and Dad. I have many happy childhood memories of Sunday dinners there with my family. It’s really sad to think about what I remember will never will be again.

I feel for all the victims of Hurricane Katrina… New Orleans, Mississippi, Alabama. So many people are suffering…wondering where they will go and what will they do. Many more people across the United States and beyond are wondering about loved ones..where they are and are they safe?

For more readers.. I only ask 2 things of you. Please pray for all those affected by Katrina, they will need it more than you may realize. Secondly I ask is that if you can donate anything please do so. You can donate money, time, blood, clothing, water, medical supplies. They need everything and anything in that region.

Missing my home tremendously tonight..yet thankful my family is ok!
Tammy
