About an hour ago we got our electricity back, after 24 hours of not having it. Power loss, strong winds, a lots of rain was pretty much all the damage hurricane dean did...for us. Now it looks like Jamaica is going to get hit pretty hard.
We had been watching the news all week and started getting prepared long before any of the Puerto Ricans. In fact, they told us we didn't even need to worry about it. We thought it would be better to be prepared just in case..so we filled the closet with bottles of water, candles, and canned food.
Friday after school we noticed the winds were picking up and the rain was starting to come, but we were too busy celebrating Courtney's birthday to really care!! We had such a good turn out for this party. Probably around 30 of our co-workers came by. And of course..we had a fabulous time. We started around 3 o'clock and people left before midnight...we even forgot about eating dinner!!
Saturday morning we woke up to really strong winds and rain. All of us, including the dogs, decided to stay together over at the Marshes. It really didn't last that long..and afterwards we decided to drive around looking at the damage. We went to a few beaches and couldn't believe the size of the waves. Actually, we couldn't believe that there are people stupid enough to go surfing in those conditions...but they were several!!
We are just getting ready to head to our friend, Jeannette's birthday party up in the mountains. I will put the pics of our party up sometime this week. I need some of Kelly's pics because I did a horrible job of taking pictures.
Oh..I almost forgot about school!! Tomorrow begins our 3rd week already. This year is definetly different than last. We are both looking forward to very challenging, but rewarding years!!
Isn't this a smart man???
