Hurricane Irene, Surfing, and Weddings

This weekend isn't turning out as I expected. Our Saturday wedding moved because of Hurricane Irene to yesterday, but the team pulled it off and the bride and her guests are safe and sound and on their way back home. Thank goodness! 

While most people are out scrambling to buy batteries, water, and bread, Grayson and I spent yesterday evening at the beach. Gray and his brother Baxter surfed while I took his picture. Brilliant, right?

I haven't technically been through a hurricane at the beach, and while the husband was born and bred here, I'm starting to freak out a little.  I've been doing a little retail therapy this morning to calm my nerves. Not for me, of course, for Tilley Gray!

I saw these on Etsy and knew she needed them as soon as she came out of the womb.

I'm off to Target to stock up on the essentials, whatever those might be, and then back home to bake and cook for the rest of the day to ensure that we are well fed through the weekend. I hope you all have a safe weekend!
