Same old

Howdy.

Everything is going pretty well. We have both been sick but are getting better. No news on the job front yet. We are waiting for 220 people to resign before march. Otherwise they will start laying off. We are looking at Dallas and Austin, but they are laying off people everywhere plus we are not the only ones wanting to move there. We now also started looking in and around Houston which is much more feasible. There are some lovely areas to live in and we would still be close to Galveston.
The cats are doing so much better. Yesterday they slept together (well sophia hanging off of katje butt) for 3 hours on the couch. Then they were licking eachother. Later on they were fighting again though. We're still not comfortable leaving them alone.
Not many plans for the coming month. This Sunday is Superbowl Sunday, which to us means same old sunday. In March we have a wedding of Jennifer and Jacob in Austin. Thomas went to High School with Jen. So thats exciting, a weekend in Austin. But thats ways away. For Valentines we are going for dinner in Houston.

Back soon!!!

XOXO

“I’m scared to death,” she said.

Of the 7,000 Galveston County families who qualify for the Disaster Housing Assistance Program, only 1,800 or 26 percent, have found places to live, Krishnarao said.
