Irma Gersh, a Herricern!

Let me start off by saying that if I ever get the news from a doctor that I only have a few days to live, fly me to a place that's waiting to see if they get hit by a hurricane.  Time passes so slowly in that situation,  that it will feel like I lived at least a month before I died.

It's all hurricane, all the time here.  There is no other news, no other concern, no other area of interest at all in the entire free world.  In fact, I have no idea what is happening outside of the cone of uncertainty. Zero. (Which isn't all that bad in a lot of ways when you think about it.)

I have a handful of disappointing photos to share with you that I feel, really capture how far I have fallen as a photographer and blogger.

First, it took me two days to finally find gas around here!  This was a welcome sight on Thursday afternoon.  Especially because the RaceTrac gas station was overflowing with cars and no one really seemed to know how to make lines efficiently based on what side of the pump they needed to be on. It was chaos.

Friday we had no school, so the time was spent prepping the yard by clearing it of debris and taking down the trampoline. And learning that the garbage was not coming at all this weekend.  Sigh.... 

(Insert picture of the kids looking sweaty and like they want to murder us)

We spent Saturday watching some international soccer...

Germany v Norway. I'm sure you can guess how that went.

Playing Candyland and gluing our eyeballs to the Internet...  

Isn't this just like any other day?

Seeing Big McKeel on the news because it's a special needs shelter... (The shelter my dad would have been in charge of had he and my mom not flown out to Utah on Thursday like evil geniuses)

Taking a walk and seeing the church windows all boarded up...

Seeing other assorted homes being boarded and prepped for the possible high winds...

Luke went on a drawing frenzy.  This time it was cars.  Here is his Ford GT...

More YouTube and brain melting...

The BYU v Utah game was on Saturday night.  Once ESPN College Game Day made their picks, I wasn't too excited about watching the game...

Since church was canceled today, we are all at home resting and watching church videos.  Without the time crunch for church, I had time make homemade creamed eggs and biscuits for breakfast- Luke's absolute favorite.

I've died and gone to hurricane heaven

Then we headed over to my parent's house to feed Miss Kitty and make sure she was ready for the storm.  She had charged her flashlight eyes, so she's ready to go.

The drive over and home was so weird.  It's like Christmas morning.  No one is on the road or even outside and when you do see someone you look very skeptical of them and why they are out (and they are doing the same to you).

Hello?  Hello??  There's nobody here!!!

So as of right now our radar looks like this:

Our weather isn't supposed to get hairy until about 10pm to 2am.  In the dead of night. My favorite!
