I'm alive and in one piece!

♪LA LA LA LA LA LA LA ... WHOO WHOO WHOO♪

Yes I know, I'm a dork. But oh well... I'm alive and well. So I have big ugly black circles under my eyes... Not very attractive... but i dont care, my family and I are safe. The storm was nuts! We heard the wind. My other cousin had a crisis with his bf so I had to go pick him up last minute. So there were 14 ppl in my house. Yepp. Crazy, but we managed to get along, and live like the brady bunch. It was all great. We watched movies told scary stories, talked, laughed, played outside, and then the storm hit, we were all in one room together, not getting on each other's nerves, just watching out. My shift was the hardest. I was suppose to be up from dusk till dawn. My dad and I were were to be the "responsible... decision making" ones. I didnt mind. Got me to stay up long enough to wait up for my honey. I slept for a total of about 6 hrs in the past 4 days. I do need my rest. But after the 3rd day I was use to it. So I dont mind. today was clean up day. Once that was done, we bar-b-qed outside. Really cool. We played baseball with the neighbors. We were the only ones that stayed from out street. My next door neighbors, the guys who live in back of them, and us. We all got along and kept a close watch for each other. IT was all good. Though I'm tired, and my belly aches and my head hurts a little, and my muscles feel like jello... I'm very grateful for what I have.

I looked in my room... what do i have that I cherish. That I do not want ruined. The first thing I put away was the picture of my parents wedding. Then the photo albums and my pictures that I do have up. And then... that was it. I went over to make sure the kidos were okay. I kept my cool. There came a time last night when I worried so much that I felt ill. But I held it in to keep from worrying the others. It was nice. I learned I have a high tolerance for pain *my many bruises and scrapes*, I have lots of patience * I stayed up for days!*, and that I do care alot about many ppl. Once I knew my family was okay... I realized that I had a big concern for my honey. And somehow we must be attatched at the hip or something, b/c each time I would start to take a moment.. sigh a little, and look at my phone to wonder if I should call... He would call first. So that helped sooth my worries. He is however working 12 hrs shift still. all weekend long. Poor baby has been working for almost a week straight.
So overall, it was good. The icky feeling that I felt in my stomach went away. The wind that blew the trees away.. that was scary. The wind made a very horrible sound. I felt like I was living a horror movie. The rain ran horizontal, the dogs, and cats... howled and cried. EEk! But We were okay.

Thanks guys for your prayers... someone up there heard you.♥
