Wild weekend

Things have been kind of crazy around ol’ Seattle the past few days. We had an unbelievable windstorm last Thursday night with gusts over 100 miles per hour. It knocked out power for pretty much the entire region, including our neighborhood. So by Friday morning the temperature in our house was about 45 degrees.

Adam’s sister Kendra was in town visiting, so the three of us all huddled up on the couch together to keep warm, the animals snuggled in around us. I didn’t go to work on Friday for a few reasons, but mainly because until the afternoon the roads weren’t safe to drive on – there was debris everywhere. Our little storage shed in the back yard was torn to bits – quite a few pieces are missing. I imagine they’re in Montana by now.

We stayed at a friend’s apartment on Friday night so we could at least have heat and warm showers. Saturday morning the power came back on for our neighborhood, so we were able to go back home. A lot of people are still without power right now though, and let me tell you, it is cold here. Not just Seattle cold, but that biting type of cold that you do not want to be in without heat.

Adam’s mom and sister are going home today. It was a short trip, but it was great having them. We spent almost the whole weekend shopping. It was fun, but I’m so over Christmas shopping now. I only have a few stocking stuffers left to get, and they might just come from my office supply closet.

Love you girls!
