North Carolina Vacay part dos

North Carolina Vacay part uno

Schools in... ew.

So i know a couple of you asked when school would finally be starting for me. It was canceled the first day because of hurricane Irene. We ended up going in the next day the 30th. It was a little confusing, but i'm officially a senior. I feel so old. I don't have any pics for you this week, I ended up getting a new laptop and have been way to busy to upload old pics or take new ones, i'm sorry bloggy buddies :0 Hopefully posting some this week :)

Closed before we even started

We were recently hit with hurricane Irene. It didn't seem that bad to me, we lost power for 2 hours early on but other than that no real damage around our house. Heard there were huge trees downed farther up the road. The first day of school was supposed to be tomorrow... that got changed :O Did the hurricane do any damage to you?

It's shaking in Maryland

I'm sure most of you heard about or maybe even felt the east coast earthquake yesterday (8/23/11). We definitely felt it here. At first we thought it was really strong wind. Then we looked out the window and it was calm as could be. Then it happened again about 20 to 30 seconds after the first shaking. I coulda sworn the house was about to collapse. After running to the basement, then realizing what it really was, we ran outside still not totally sure what was going on. Our neighbors were all outside, so we figured out it was definitely an earthquake. After waiting around outside for a while, we went back inside and checked for damage. None with us, but I know some neighbors had a lot of damage. While checking the water heater in the basement, my mom found a snake! Eeek! I HATE snakes! Had the neighbor remove it for us. Did any of you feel the earth quake? What were your experiences?

Summer Vacation (:

We haven't been much of anywhere this summer because of our big Florida vacation in May. School starts back up on the 29th (ick) so we're taking a bit of vacation now before that happens. We left Sunday morning for church and continued from there to my grandpas in VA beach. Then Tuesday morning we left VA for North Carolina. Made some stops along the coast and spent the night in Cape Hatteras. Now we're with family near Wilmington until tomorrow when we go back to VA for a couple days. Here are some pictures from the drive down here I'll have more for you later.
