Surviving Irene

Aaaannnnd looks like we're back!  Unfortunately my apartment is still without power (one of only three houses on our block without power...*sigh*), but we never lost water, which is something to be thankful for.  And of course, we're okay.  My parents are okay; no trees fell on their house, and all we suffered are a few downed branches and some loose shingles.  But we're okay, and that's what matters.  So regardless of David's moaning (all of his interests are electronic-based), we are fine, and hopefully the power will be back on soon.

So how did I spend Hurricane Irene?  Saturday was my cousin Melinda's wedding (finally; they've been engaged for over two years now!), and although it was nail-biting (the weather was kind of rough that morning), they still had a beautiful wedding!


Melinda's father, my godfather, John, died in 2007 of a heart attack, so she was escorted down the aisle by her two gorgeous daughters, Lauryn and Shealin. 

 
These two were made for each other.  I was so happy for them.


The much-talked of zombie wedding cake!  The cake topper is a groom running away from a zombie bride.


Me and my handsome husband :)  I got my hair cut just the day before and I love it.  It's so short and spunky.


My new favorite picture of the two of us.

Saturday night was more or less the same ol', same ol'.  We didn't lose power until early on Sunday morning, so we both took advantage of the hurricane (and lack of internet) and slept in.  I got a lot of reading done (reviews to come), and David...was really bored.

We ended up going to my parents' house for dinner (since they had a grill and we could get a hot meal).  And my father's birthday was on Saturday, so we celebrated it on Sunday instead.  When Dave and I got home, we were still without power...and still are this morning.  Boo.  Hopefully the food in our fridge won't spoil before the electric company gets the power running again!

How did all of you do?  Everyone alive out there?
