I survived Hurriquake 2011

That's everyone's new saying around here. Last week was an eventful week, with an earthquake on Tuesday and hurricane Irene coming through this past weekend. The earthquake was a pretty good one! I was at work, and all of the kids were asleep. I was so confused bc it felt like a quake but there aren't quakes in VA??!? The people here were freaking out, and I can't blame them bc for many of them that was their first earthquake ever! However it was kind of funny to see/hear about them freaking out. Eric said one lady in his office screamed at the top of her lungs, and another guy went sprinting out. I watched on the news a bunch of people who evacuated their buildings...only to stand on the street in the middle of two high rises :-)

The hurricane was also rather hyped up. I was starting to get nervous bc of all the news coverage on how bad "mean Irene" was going to get. We had a lot of rain and some trees down, but it wasn't that bad. A lot of people lost power which sucks but luckily we only lost power for about 20 min in the middle of the night. Sunday we did have to do a Lot of cleanup around the house to get all the limbs and stuff cleared out. Overall it wasn't too bad.

For labor day weekend were off to WV to go camping, woohoo!
