It has been a crazy week! First the most important part, Emily rolled over for the first time this week! Yay! Second most important part is Ryne and I have found a house and we are working towards buying it and starting the next chapter of our lives. More on that later.
While this week was very exciting for our little family it was even more exciting for our area. We had our first earthquake, or so I'm told. Most people probably are thinking "or so your told? wouldnt you know you had an earthquake?" I used to think that sure I would know what an earthquake felt like but alas we had a 5.9 earthquake and I didn't feel a damn thing. I thought my upstairs neighbor was losing her mind when she came knocking on my door asking me if I felt the apartment move. I was thoroughly confused when my mom called asking if we were all OK. I have to admit I'm a tad disappointed in the fact I didn't feel it.
Fast forward to the weekend and we got hit with your favorite hurricane and mine, Irene. I was never this scared of a storm before and I think a lot of it has to do with Emily. I filled bottles of water to make sure we could feed her and I filled our bath tub to be sure we could flush our toilet. I made sure we had candles and flashlights. Had it been just me and the hubby I probably wouldn't have done any of this. And as if the hurricane wasn't exciting enough we also got a few tornado warnings last night. Nothing is scarier than getting tornado warnings at night knowing that 1) you can't see it and that 2) you are on the second floor where the hell are you going to go?
I am happy to report that the LeCompte clan is still standing. We had a down tree in our complex and a lot of branches down. We lost electricity for a little bit but not for long. While the experience was very scary it was a little anticlimatic. I have to admit I as looking forward to seeing 100 mph winds just to say I had. That's not to say that I want a hurricane to come anytime soon but it would have been interesting.
Now that all is said and done the only thing I am worried about is that CBS airs Big Brother on schedule.
