After it was all said and done, we made it through Hurricane Irma just fine. We lost a small section of our fence, but our power never went out, and our preparations paid off. We've been having friends come over to use our showers, laundry, and to charge electronics.
And I do want to thank everyone for their concern, especially their thoughts and prayers. My family and I heard from a lot of people who wanted to make sure we were okay, and we felt truly blessed to have so many friends who checked in on us. Thank you all!
