the searbys

Last night as we drove home I saw the ever-dreaded flashing lights in my rear view mirror. I had no idea what I could have possibly done to deserve getting pulled over. Yet, I was told I was speeding (it was an area I wasn't sure of, honestly.) But, instead of ticketing me for that the officer gave me a ticket for having a "tag light" out. Do you know what a "tag light" is? I didn't. Then I remembered, liscense plates down here are called "tags." Sure enough, it was out but he could have given me a warning at least. Nope, $77.50. I was not happy but Jen thought it was funny for some reason and was laughing so that made it light-hearted. Well, I guess I couldn't live in Florida forever without some kind of law-breaking!

We actually "prepared" for the hurricane last night. It's not likely we'll get much more than rain and a bit of wind but if the storm turns north enough, we could get drilled and lose power. We've also opened up our home to people from New Missions Systems in Fort Myers where the hurricane is expected to make significant impact. So we'll let you all know how that turns out.

We've got a busy weekend ahead so keep us in your prayers. We always love hearing from you all so drop us an e-mail, call, or post a comment!

You should tell those crazy ppl that you got a cool scooter. You don't need to check out their minibike.

We are thinking of you both and miss you! I tried to teach Lilly to chatter and she can't seem to get it down. Jack will have to teach her.

We hope you guys are safe this weekend. We will check in with you soon!
