A plain old recap...because some things you just want to remember

Tuesday, we had an earthquake. During the harrowing, 10 second experience I was thinking, "That must be a huge truck passing by. Wait, that's an earthquake. Wait, Virginia doesn't have earthquakes."

Then it was over, and we moved on.

An hour later I got the text from my best friend from college- she was at the hospital, and about to give birth. Baby Sike!...or is it psyche...Either way, baby boy took his time and made his debut at about 10:30 the next morning. We all got to meet him a few hours later.

Austin Levi is awesome, and his mom's a rockstar.

Now, we have this big ol' lady named "Irene" coming to town. She sounds big and scary and I think she's out to do quite a bit of damage. Every time I see someone on TV saying that this storm's not going to be a big deal, blah, blah, blah, I can't help but think, "You're an idiot".

Of course, I could be the idiot. We'll know Monday, I guess.

Since my mom and I had already planned a trip to West Virginia this weekend, we packed our bags and hit the road last night. Now, here I sit, outside of a cute little coffee shop in Buckhannon. I've seen some sights today, sitting where I'm sitting. One was gross enough to make me leave earlier though, so here's hoping we don't have any repeats.

And of course, here's a pic of Austin. Yes, I know all babies look the same when they're hours old. 

All except this one, of course.
