Myrtle Beach Get Away

Josh went to the Wilds with the high school and Jacob and Jenna went to the teen retreat with the church so Jack and I got to finally get away for a couple of days.  We were unable to get away over the summer when the kids got away because Jack's boss was gone.  I didn't think we would pull this off because the dates got changed and then hurricane Matthew came around. Parts of I40 were close and I95 were closed too, but we did it.  It was amazing just to have conversations with him.  It was nice to sit on the beach, say nothing at all, but still be together.  It was so nice to have no disruptions, no schedules!!  I was so relaxed!!  I also got up to see 2 beautiful sunrises. 

Hurricane Matthew

Last weekend we were surprised by Hurricane Matthew.  It came to Florida as a category 4 I believe, and by the time it came to the Carolina's it was a 1, however, we weren't really supposed to get much from it.  We lost power about 2:30 on Saturday and it came back on around noon on Sunday.  We managed this time to save everything that was in our fridge and freezer, thank goodness.  We only lost a shutter and had a few small branches down. Our yard was flooded and the road down the corner was also completely flooded.. In fact we saw this car stuck on the bridge. Life is slowly getting back to normal and although JoCo did not have school again today (or the rest of the week) Southside decided to go back today and maintain some of our days.
