Hurricane and family

Here we are in November...and the clocks were turned back today.  October was nothing less than busy once the last two weeks hit.  I ran my first 5k in Hoboken and Hurricane Sandy hit the Jersey Coast.  The devastation is sad to see across Jersey and NYC.  My family and I were without power from Tuesday night to yesterday afternoon.  Luckily for us the tree that fell in our front yard missed the house and pulled the wires and the conduit off the house and a power company from Ohio came to the rescue :)  There are still a lot of people without power and I am so blessed to be able to invite them over to warm up or take a hot shower if they need.  Some schools are still without power and will still not have school tomorrow.  The kicker...we have a Nor'easter headed our way this Wednesday.  We just finished cleaning up the yard today...who knows what this one will bring...here are some pictures from the last few weeks :)

Hurricane Sandy's mess

"My tree...look what you've done to my tree"

Warming up in the car and traveling between houses with the puppy :)

The half of the tree that fell in the back...just dented the pool, no major damage

I finished my first 5k in under 40 minutes :)
