Erin's Aunt

called to her home in West Palm Beach, which is about 30 miles north of us, and her husband said that we will probably get in Today yet, but then the airport will likely shut down shortly afterwards. It looks like the eye of the H. will hit West Palm Beach, with sustained wind at 90mph, and gusts up to 120 mph. In other words, there will be no electricity for them for awhile, and us only being 30 miles south might not get it so bad but still could lose electricity. So Rueben if I don't write for awhile it might not be just because I'm lazy. So please pray that we get home safely.

Anyway Erin will not have school on Monday and possibly tuesday (lucky).

Another thing I thought of that I should tell the four people who will read this. Rodell, my brother in law, from Des Moines, who is now in Iraq disabling road-side bombs and other deadly devices, will be home to Iowa by Christmas. It is a welcome sigh of relief for our family because his job there was so dangerous, and they were so busy that they barely had time to rest at all. The unit that is replacing them will get there on the 1st of Nov. and they will be in Kuwait by the end of Nov. to early Dec. Then they will spend a week or two there and then come home, debrief here in the states and then he will be free of the national guard forever!

Well thats all for now
