Weekending
10/10/2016
Happy Monday friends! Thanks for understanding my absence on Friday. We actually lost internet and cell data through Saturday so from around 2 am Friday through Saturday afternoon my cell phone was nothing more than something I could make calls and text with and my computer... well it was pretty much useless. This weekend was an interesting one to say the least. I originally had a ton of plans scheduled but they all got canceled due to Hurricane Matthew but I can't complain. We were projected to get hit way worse than we did so I am definitely thankful there. Linking up with B for my weekend recap.
Friday our office was closed due to Hurricane Matthew so I was at home all day riding out the storm. Other than some pretty strong winds, we really lucked out this time. The fence that goes around my neighborhood was completely destroyed on one side and like I said, we have no internet or cellular data but we only lost power off and on so it wasn't too bad. We ventured out when the mandatory curfew was lifted to try to find a place to eat but everyone else had the same idea so we ended up at Wendy's. Nothing like a gourmet meal, right?
Saturday was absolutely gorgeous out. I enjoyed my morning tea outside on the back porch before heading to yoga for a bit of relaxing after a stressful few days. Then I was determined to get out of the house so Kerri, the boys and I headed out for drinks and football.
Sunday was for errands and of course more football! I did some diy projects at home, some turned out great and some not so much... and the weather was gorgeous!
Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

So thankful the hurricane ended up being more gentle on Florida than predicted! Glad you're safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were safe through the hurricane! My cousins in Jupiter just had some outside damage, but they were okay too. I totally need a coffee today that is that big!! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSuch a relief that you guys were spared with minimal damage to the area - I can definitely relate to how curfews and being cooped up inside can make anyone go a little stir crazy. Wendy's may not be gourmet, but I'm sure those fries tasted pretty good LOL! Hope you have a great start to the week! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteWhew! I'm glad you have good news! I can't believe how many bloggers were in the Matthew-headed area. The Hurricane Mimosas cracked me up! Glad y'all were able to get out of the house for some football watching and fun! NEW POST: DIY Pumpkin Spice Highlighter

Isn't it incredible how the weather on Thursday went from "hurricane coming your way" to absolutely gorgeous on Saturday and Sunday! I'm so thankful we got spared and the curfew was lifted so we could get out of the house cause I know I started feeling stir crazy.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your UCF sign is so adorable! You're way more crafty than I am! I'm so glad that y'all made it through the storm ok and with minimal storm damage and power outages. And that's great that it happened at the beginning of the weekend so that you could still enjoy time out with Kerri and the boys on Saturday!
ReplyDeleteThankful that the hurricane wasn't too damaging! Looks like you made the most out of it!
