So this week was pretty stressful for the fact that it was hard talking to my parents. I worry about them, it’s my nature. Even though Ichiro and Ryan set up the generator on Monday and I knew they had heat, I still worried. Before the storm I knew I talked to mom often. Sometimes it’s a couple times a day, but you never really realized how much you talk until you can’t talk anymore. No phone, no cell, no iChat, no email, it was just weird! haha I was so happy when they finally got power back!
So Dad’s birthday is next week and we’ve had plans to all go out to dinner in CT to celebrate. When my parents lost power it was up in the air if we would still go out or postpone it to a later date. Well since everyone that was attending got their power back and the restaurant had their power back we decided to still have the party.
Today after Noby’s school we jumped right in the car and headed down to CT. Ichiro has been in NY for a few days working in his dad’s office so we didn’t have to wait for him. The plan is, if he finishes everything in time he will meet us up in CT.
Our drive to CT was pretty uneventful expect for the fact that I was in AWWW about how many trees were down. I couldn’t believe it! Trees looks like they just snapped like toothpicks. The entire ride home I kept saying I wish I had my camera out. When I pulled into my parents I was shocked! Trees down, sticks everywhere and even the chicken coop had collapsed under the snow!
