Last Week

Because I'm not going to write this in my journal because I'm lazy, I'll record it here.

Last week was a doozy!

Tuesday - Earthquake--epicenter about 20 miles from my parents in Virginia. We felt it up here in NJ.  Crazy!
Wednesday - explained "where babies come from" to Lucy.  She thought I was kidding. :)  So funny.
Thursday - worked at the new house for hours, pulled staples in the girls' new room for hours.  First I heard that Hurricane Irene was going to threaten our area.  Emergency Stake Welfare Meeting that night to discuss needs for member who would have to evacuate the coastal area.  Stressful!
Friday--Prep prep prep for the impending hurricane.  Stressful!
Saturday - more prep for the hurricane.  The rain started around 11am.  We were about as prepared as we could be.  Some holes in the preps but mostly it was pretty buttoned up.
Sunday - no church, hurricane moves up the coast and leaves us with a lot of wind but a beautiful sunny day.

No wonder I'm so tired.  Glad it's over.  Glad we all survived.  God is good.
