Howdy!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to check in. Things have been busy and they don't seem to be calming down anytime soon.

Jenny and I have been enjoying a restful weekend, had a few nice dinners out and we're getting ready for a garage sale next weekend. It's the first weekend in a while we haven't had something planned.

So I started school a couple of weeks ago. I'm exited to finally get this damn degree finished. Just 18 more months to go? Keep my sanity in your prayers!

On the subject of prayer requests, please keep the prayers going this week for everyone involved with Hurricane Gutav. It's obviously going to affect a lot of people in the gulf coast still cleaning up from Katrina but it also affects us lucky few in the insurance industry. There will be many hours of overtime in the coming month or two and when combined with my classes I forsee some tired evenings and long weekends in my future.

Thankfully it seems like people got the message two years ago and are getting out of Louisiana. Hopefully we can do a better job of taking care of everyone this time.

Well, that's it for now. I'll check in when I can. Till next time.

Ike.
