With Hurricane Matthew approaching us on Thursday afternoon and a mandatory curfew set until Saturday at 7 am, we planned to spend the 3-day weekend at home and just pray we didn't get hit too hard from the storm.
The anticipation of a Category 4 hurricane heading towards us was quite scary so we stocked up on supplies last week and prepared for the worst. I can't speak for other parts of the country but we got very lucky with no major damage to our house and didn't lose electricity either. The curfew was lifted sooner than expected on Friday afternoon so we headed out for some dinner at Outback.
Most of Saturday was spent cleaning and doing errands before taking Lola out to enjoy the beautiful weather at a lakeside restaurant and market.

So awesome that you guys didn't get hit hard. Lola is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you came out unscathed! Looks like you still had a beautiful weekend wit sweet lola! Can't wait to see the recipe for that lasagna!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that y'all didn't get hit too hard by the hurricane and that it didn't loop back around and hit y'all again! Luckily, Houston hasn't been hit by a hurricane while we've lived here (it did while I was in college, but I missed out on it), so I can't even imagine what it's like with everybody trying to get supplies and everything. The weather for the rest of the weekend looked beautiful, and I'm glad that you got to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that y'all are safe & were able to get out & enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo, so glad you guys were okay in the storm! I'm sure it's so nerve-racking waiting to see what's going to happen though. Canvas looks like such a cool place-- love that you can take lola with you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you guys are ok and there was little damage. I was thinking of you guys for sure!! I've been through a hurricane (when I lived in PR) and that was not fun at all. Pretty scary.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great rest of your week Emily!
