rough weekend!

Ugh. We had a nasty (yet brief) storm come through Friday night and lost power around 9pm. Once the storm had passed, DH decided to take a walk around the yard (in total darkness) to see how many tree branches he would need to clean up. We *thought* there was a very large branch on the deck... but we quickly realized it was much more. An entire tree had snapped and landed on the deck! Of course, we're counting our blessings because if it had fallen another way it could have easily landed on the house -- right on our son's bedroom where he was fast asleep. Scary! So as much of a pain it will be to take care of the mess, it could be much worse.

The power didn't come back on 'til around 4:30pm or so on Saturday. What a long day without a/c! Everyone who knows me knows how much I HATE hot weather so this was misery -- temps in the 90s, which is ridiculously hot for this time of year. No fun.

We're so happy to have our power back. I've already scrapped a new page and plan to do a couple more today, time permitting. Our a/c is set at 66 right now so life is good! :)
