Irene brings in some waves to ride!

Darren and I got up before first light. We wanted to get to the beach early so I could try to catch the sun coming up over the ocean and he could catch a few waves before everyone else came out to surf the hurricane produced sets of waves. Irene was not close enough to cause any major problems here in the Charleston area. I never did get a picture of him surfing because by the time the sun came up he was way down the beach.

 This is my favorite

Update on Irene

This morning it is slightly windy and we are under cloudy skies, the type of clouds you see in oregon all 

year long. Here is a satellite picture from the weather channel.

Will this be the one!

It's that time of year again! We are watching Hurricane Irene wondering where she will go in the next few days. We hope we are ready if she should track west rather then east like all the others did last year.

I will be going to TN if she continues to grow in strength and heads toward us. Darren and Ben are staying. I will keep in touch via cell and facebook if I do leave. Tomorrow morning will give us a better picture of what we are in for. We feel lucky that we have not had a Hurricane hit while we have been here.

Tue Morning Update

Looks like Irene is going to spare us of a direct hit. We will know more this evening as she moves closer to the Bahamas.www.weatherchannel.com

Thursday Update

August is flying by and so much has taken place this month already!

We enjoyed a visit from Aunt Sally and Uncle Larry. We took them to see some of the sights around the Low Country and of course feed them some home baked Pizza!

Then it was off to San Diego for a wedding!

Lauren & David were married in the beautiful San Diego Temple!

I did not bring a camera (I know huh that is so not like me) So all of these were taken by wonderful members of the extended family!

I am so very lucky to be married to my very best friend!

We enjoy being able to attend the Temple together and with our family!

We are so blessed to have two wonderful Boys and an amazing Daughter (in-law)!

We adore our first Grandson!

We look forward to many more happy years together!
