testing 1...2...3...

we finally have cable, internet and phone back! what, you may ask caused us to lose all of this???

HURRICANE IKE!

it roared thru here sunday night and i do mean ROARED! they had not warned us it would be this bad. 90,000 without power, 12 ft storm surge on lake ontario (did you know you could have a storm surge on a lake??) 50-60 mph gusts and lots of tree damage.

i am thankful i don't live in texas and my heart and prayers go to those who have it SO much worse than me!

anyways, we went about 9 hours without power and 30+ without phone, internet or cable. THANK GOD the internet is back! lol! i had no way of finding out what was going! it was driving me crazy! now that we had this little wind storm...i need to work on the emergency kit! i hope this isn't a preview of the winter to come!

anyways...guess what i did last night while i had no tv or internet??? edited more pics!

here's a few more random ones!

We still have people without power! Taylor's boyfriends family just got their's back today! My parents are still without! It does make you think about having a plan of some sort! Glad you are back to normal!

i'm amazed at your photography girl! Yes, Ike was a mean one...I didn't wish it on ANYONE, but am very grateful that we didn't catch the brunt of this one. Glad you're wired again!
