A couple weeks ago we experienced 5.9 east coast earthquake. At first, I thought it was a large airplane flying overhead (we are in a flight path to the airport), but then realized it was a quake when I saw everything shaking in our house. It was a little freaky since it kept getting stronger and I didn't know how much stronger it would get. Luckily, no damage and I've only felt one aftershock since.
The next week we braced ourselves for hurricane Irene. She hit the east coast bad, but luckily, we only got mild wind and rain. The funny part was that a huge tree took out the power line a few doors down and left us without power for 40 hours. Oh wait, that wasn't the funny part...the funny part was the tree fell BEFORE the hurricane came through! So...what to do with all the food that we would lose? Have a neighborhood bbq! Luckily, Clay and I transported our food to a friend's house and most of it was saved. What we had left we grilled along with our neighbor's food. Below are pictures of our fun. The first 2 were just cute so I decided to put them in here :)
I just have to say we have the BEST neighbors in the world! Thank you God for having us wait in a hotel for 2 months just to be blessed with these neighbors!
