Surived the storm, little delayed on posting.

I had high hopes to write a post last weekend about our trip to Madison, Wisconsin to see two friends of mine (from my study abroad program in Ecuador) get married. Well, there was a little hurricane that came through, and the time I had allotted for blogging was spent filling buckets with water to flush our toilets if we needed to for days, scrambling to get all of the laundry done, moving everything from my storage unit living room since we've gotten some water in there in the past, making sure that anything left in the basement would be okay if we got a lot of water, etc. 

And then since I didn't sleep Saturday night, I spent most of Sunday in bed trying to sleep. We didn't lose power at all, so I spent the night pumping out the basement every hour or so, and then checking on the places water has previously gotten in, and then whenever the motion light went on in the driveway as a result of tree branches swaying and setting it off, I was checking on my NEW CAR. You can hopefully understand the panic that was going on in my head, after a tree fell and totaled my car, and we had a flooded basement as a result of a plumbing leak, all completely un-storm-related in the past month and a half. Ironic? yes. PANIC?! no question about it.

You get the point.

So, needless to say, I did not get to fixing up my photos yet, nor have I gotten around to writing about any of it. I'm volunteering for Andy again this Saturday, so perhaps some other day on the long weekend I'll get around to it!

I hope you and all of your stuff survived the storm. We were very lucky. We only lost cable/internet/phone for a few hours on Sunday afternoon. I'm thanking my lucky stars, because I don't think I could have handled any additional catastrophes this summer (especially not if something happened to my new car).
