Hurricane Ivan

As I write this, Alabama and other regions in the South are gearing up to prepare for Hurricane Ivan, due to impact our area sometime Thursday evening. We feel pretty well set up where we are and can only wait out until the hurricane hits and hope that the damage to our area is not too severe. It is probably best if you try to avoid contacting us over the next few days just to ensure the telephone lines etc are free. We will contact our parents in their respective locations in the event of an urgent situation. I (Fiona) have never experienced a hurricane before but we are taking all the steps necessary to sit this one out and the best thing is that I have Zev home for the next few days! Yay. Take care y'all!
