An update on Wilma

Well, as most of our friends and family know, we made it out of Naples safe and sound on Friday.

Tiffs family, Sandy and Tom were kind enough to open their home to us, and we couldn't be more greatful! It's so awesome when you have someone like that you can turn to and they are just so wonderful in helping you out. We can't thank them enough.

Wilma's now passed and left her destruction all across southern Florida. She hit about 22 miles south of where we live and really walloped us. I gave a call to our secretary on Monday to see if I could get a damage assessment. It took her til mid-afternoon to get near a tower that she could return my calls, and to hear the distress in her voice I knew it really punched Naples a good one. To hear the damage is one thing, we just have to wait a few days to see for ourselves. There is no power or water and with Alex and Brooke we just can't take the chance of going down there without those necessities.

I have to say it again though, we may have lost things like couchs, TV's, and the likes, but we as a family are together and the rest can be replaced. We move in to our new place on the 1st of November and it is fully furnished. Looks like the big guy was lookin out for us before Wilma even hit!! We'll keep our heads up and move foreward. Thats what we Spicers do!

I want to thank all of you for your love and support throughout this whole ordeal. And as has been mentioned several times to us, this looks to be a cycle of storms that will be working the Gulf for the next 20-25 years. Buckle up! We've now been initiated! True Floridians now!
