Hurricane Days

Hurricane Days are the Southern version of Snow Days

When I was younger, they were the best things ever! 

We got off of school,

We hung out with our friends,

We had Hurricane Parties,

and Mrs. B always made homemade funnel cake!

While I was in college I never really worried about hurricanes. None came close to my middle of the state location. 

Now I'm back in South Florida, right in time for hurricane season.
Although a lot of preparations were made for Isaac,  he really didn't do much here.
However, Kyle and I were given a chance to just spend some time together along with the perfect excuse to be lazy.

On Saturday night we went out to dinner and saw The Amazing Spider Man! It was really nice to go on a date night because we haven't had the chance since we moved.
On Sunday, we braved the strong winds and rainy weather to go to church. However, when we got there no cars were in the parking lot. It had gotten canceled and we didn't know it! Whoops!
We did go out later to lunch with the family.

I've been working on watching all the episodes of Once Upon a Time and took the opportunity to finish season 1! I can't wait for the next season to start!

I then started Grimm! Such a different twist on the fairy tale concept, but I love it!

It stormed all Sunday and Monday!
I couldn't help but laugh Monday morning when I looked out my window. One of the trees in the back had fallen down from the wind. The lawn guy was fighting against the wind trying to pull it back into position. He finally got it only for it to fall down later that day again!

 

Kyle didn't have to go into work Monday and I ended up soaked when the rain suddenly started again while I was bringing in groceries!
I decided the world was telling me it was a pj day, so we laid around doing nothing the rest of the day!

I honestly can't remember tropical storms hitting us as badly as they have this year. Summers in Florida almost always mean daily rainfall, but with these tropical storms it seems like a constant deluge has come our way. Since this is our last week of work we have holed up in the house, leaving only when necessary. Ice cream counts as necessary correct? 

 Sadly, not even staying inside can keep us out of the rain. Hello, water damage. So thankful that we're renting and don't have to deal with this on our own. Of course, I'm not too thrilled that the apartment complex didn't get their roof fixed before the rain when they knew that it needed to be fixed....

At least the rain has given us a chance to do some stuff around the house. 

I packed up some more boxes for moving. Sadly, I still have more books to pack!

I finished up crafts for a bachelorette party.

We spent lots of time cuddling on the couch reading. And of course, watching t.v.

I think I will forever miss the days when this time of year meant hurricane parties and Mrs. Behr's homemade funnel cake. Hurricane parties were the best!

It literally rained for 24 hours here....

Rainy Days

Tropical Storm Beryl + Summer in Gainesville = Lots of rain! 

So Kyle and I have been as lazy as possible.
We snuggled.
Tried out HuluPlus, 
While still keeping Netflix.
Went to McDonald's for ice cream in a mini flood. 
Watched lots of TV
And movies.
Laid on the couch under lots of blankets.
Played video games
And read books.
Cleared out the pantry.
Went to work.
Wore my cute rain boots.
