So, apparently ANOTHER hurricane is headed our way. Ok, the other one was a tropical storm, but the only difference is how strong the wind is, they are all bad storms. We were very thankful and quite surprised that Fay never hit us. That's right, I can see the mid bay bridge from my house and the storm never hit us. It went completely around us. If you watched the weather it looked like it was right on top of us, slamming us, but it never touched us. I think we got maybe an inch of rain the entire 4 days. It was crazy!

Unfortunately that means this one is probably going to slap us up side the head! (Don't you just love crazy sayings?) I was very smart and loaded the kids up to head to the base grocery store and get ready for my in-laws coming to visit this weekend and rushed through the crowded aisles trying to hurry before either child lost it. I get home, and bring the first bag of groceries in when the phone rings and it's Brandon telling me that we may have to evacuate b/c of the storm. You can imagine how thrilled my car loaded down with groceries was to hear that!

Then my dear friend Kara called to ask me if she would be stupid to go grocery store since we may have to evacuate and I told her not any dumber than I just was! I tell her I don't understand why we have to leave. Our house has obviously lasted through numerous hurricanes and survived. After all, it is made of concrete and steel and was built 40+ years ago. She reminds me that the bay is practically in my backyard and so I agree with her. But I just bought groceries!!!!

Oh, and did I tell you that my surprise was that I completely redid our bedroom for Brandon? I kept the furniture, but got new bedding, curtains/rods, paint, lamps, pillows, plants, everything and now a storm is threatening to possibly ruin it all! I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! As far as I am concerned, Mr. Gustav, you can just turn your pretty little self around and go back to where you came from. I may not have the hormones of a pregnant woman anymore, but I just fixed up my house for the first time in 5 years and you are not about to tear it down! So there. I guess I'll just see you guys up on Alabama this weekend for shelter.
