Waiting for Irene.

These may just be the worst pictures ever taken.... 

Since I am leaving for vacation and my camera is packed I 

will not be able to retake them right now... 

(sorry... just pretend it is perfect lighting) 

I am on an embroidery kick... have gotten lots done. 

Trying to get some Christmas gifts accomplished ...

So this has been a week to remember...

On Tuesday we were in a earth quake...

{Yes, I live in the Garden State } 

We actually felt it... people were panicky... 

My husband was not....

Thank The Lord for giving me a calm husband.

anyway, now we are sitting around waiting for Irene to come. 

and it is supposed to hit us tomorrow sometime.  They keep changing their minds from a Cat 1 to a 

Tropical Storm. Whatever the case it is a LOT of rain that we have been 

getting in our already saturated ground. 

{I am most worried about some big ol' trees falling that we have }

Our car is packed and ready to go... we are supposed to leave bright and early 

Sunday morning for the Adirondack Mountains. 

Not sure at this point if we will end up toughing it out here?? 

{hope not}

This weather has been a bit crazy...

I am convinced that we are in the end times...

When I mentioned this at the dinner table the other night 

Sara, told me (Very Seriously) that she agreed. 

She informed me that she had been reading the book Revelation. 

She was?

okay. 

(she is 12) 

Well, at least she is reading her Bible.

Revelations was always pretty fascinating to me as well. 

I am praying that the storm looses strength as it makes it way towards NY and Long Island. 

and I am praying that we won't be in any more natural disasters for a while... 

One thing I have to tell you... 

We were eating Chic Fil A when the earth quake hit. 

I laughed afterwards and told my husband that I would have been happy

if God had decided it was my time while I was eating one of my favorite meals... lol
