If you need to catch up with this story, go to Ike rolls in ~ my husband rolls out
Well, as most of you know I haven't seen much of my husband lately...he's working like 84 hours a week, no days off and spends another 10.5 in commute time. So, that leaves him 2.5 hours a day to eat dinner or breakfast, take a shower, wash his uniform and 8 hours of sleep. That's been his life for oh, maybe 2.57 weeks now! (not that I'm counting or anything!) So, let's just say there is little conversation (well, he's not home to have the conversation!)...I guess he got a break last night while working at the shelter. I logged on this morning and found this comment on the above post: (the first part is the mushy part, but I had to leave that in)
Wow, after reading the comments related to Hurricane Ike posted by my wife and then by all of her blogger friends, I had to reply. First and most importantly, to my absolutely amazing and loving wife. Thank you for being strong and tireless during this trying time for our family. You truly never cease to amaze me with your unending devotion and your spirit. I look forward to taking my "shelter" in your arms after a long night here in the Evacuee shelter.
To all of the bloggers,(not sure what to call ya'll), thanks for the words of appreciation. It really means alot to me to hear your words of encouragement. I can tell you that the dedicated men and women of the San Antonio Fire Department that I have the honor of serving with, do not consider ourselves heroes. It is the everyday Americans that volunteer their time and their own resources to help total strangers that are in need- those are the true heroes.

I can tell you that I briefly talked to him today and he was just flabbergasted at the comments that ALL OF YOU had made to him and the public servants like him....He couldn't believe it!
He was very touched...just so you know. This man needed a little "pick me up today"...thanks for helping me give it to him.
To keep you posted on that the last I heard they had about 1700 people or so still in the San Antonio shelter and were trying to see where they could put these people closer to their homes...no luck as of yet.

Awwwwwww...his comment really got to me. It reminded me of something my hubby would say. You are blessed...he is blessed. May God continue to bless you!
Sheila-Isn't it amazing the power of blogging. You have a great blog here, and it goes without mentioning an incredible husband doing his best in a horible situation.

SMS - Great blog lady! Maybe BS should get his own log in and join in on the fun, no? He's already made friends here....might as well jump in! KM
I don't care what your husband says! He is still a hero to me! So cool that he took the time to weigh in with us.
He is a hero! Most heros don't want to take credit for their wonderful actions and that is the sign of a true hero.
Elizabeth- wow, your up early? Yes, your right we are blessed...glad you have a good hubby too :)
Joe-Thanks for the support.
K- you know it's not Bri's style...
Cristal- I agree with you!
David-Your right about that...unsung hero's.
He's adorable, and so are you. May God bless you and your family. ;-)
Sheila,
On behalf of a grateful nation:
Thank you to your hubby and his service to our fellow citizens, it is people like him that make our nation great!

That is so special, glad the comments picked him up. Blogging is so amazing, getting to know people you'd never get acquainted with otherwise. AR is fantastic, a great way to spend some time. :)
C-I think he's adorable, also!
Jim-Gosh, thank you!
Ricki-Your right, guess I really didn't know the power of AR.
My wise old grandmother once said, "Behind every great man is a great woman." So the two of you probably belong to each other. Here's to many more years together.
Russel- You do have a WISE Granny....thanks for the comment!
Sheila, I think I like Russel's Granny too. :-)
