Hurricane Irma made her way slowly through Florida over the last couple of days. For us here in Southeast Florida, her impact wasn't as scary as originally predicted. At the very last minute, she veered west and we were spared of most damages short of downed trees and light poles. When we still expected the storm to hit as a category 4 or 5, we packed up the kids, the pets and our valuables and headed to my parents house about ten minutes down the road.

Packing up your stuff is hard. Deciding what to take and what to leave is tricky when there's a good probability you'll return to ruins, or close enough to it to forever scar your children. I spent most of the days leading up to the storm packing up the kids rooms and worrying they would return home to floods and debris. Ethan decided all he needed was his teddy bear, a ball he won at Monster Golf and a box of graham sticks. For a child prone to anxiety and worry, I was surprisingly pleased with how carefree he remained through the entire ordeal, even going to sleep without mentioning the wind that was howling outside the window.

We came back home to no damage and we still had our power on. The west coast of Florida, the Keys and the Caribbean weren't so lucky. My heart breaks for all of those who have returned home to ruins, who have lost their loved ones or their belongings in this horrible storm. I've heard a lot of people complaining about no power or superficial water damage or even branches that have dinged up a car on the driveway, but we were spared. We are lucky. And over the next couple of days when everyone's yards have been raked and the uprooted trees have been removed, it's our job to help others who weren't as lucky in Irma's aftermath. Onward, South Florida.

  8. No one saw this coming. You could write the story for almost anyone Michael Kors Outlet Online in the Trump administration leaving, but not Hope Hicks. No one's been closer MK Outlet Store to this president. Saw 25 foot high lava about Coach Purses On Clearance 150 feet away. It was a few miles from our homes, but officials didn think we had time to make it. If it had crossed the road, we wouldn have been able to make it back, Bonjour said.

    JAKES: You know, Michel, that's just like husbands who have committed infidelity telling the wife to get over it. , so this is one of the areas where you don't get to be the teacher. I think the people who are experiencing discrimination should at least in this one area be able Coach Outlet Clearance Sale to say when they are discriminated Coach Outlet Online against.

    Nora shouted over her shoulder that there was Coach Outlet Clearance Sale Nike Air Force 1 Cheap Outlet $140 cash in the house and that Estefany needed to remind Alex to wash out his knee. He had skinned it a few days earlier in a bike accident, a small surface wound. "Make sure he washes it twice Michael Kors Bags Outlet a day," Nora called out, before the bus pulled away..
