Long time no blog!!

ok it has been a few months and a lot has happened. first i had a birthday! i turned 24 in august. it was a good birthday. mom and dad sent up a birthday in a box and it was lots of fun! we had drinks with umbrellas in them and chinese paper lanterns hanging around the deck and pink swirly flowers that glittered in the moonlight! thanks mom and dad for sending me a birthday party. kyle's mom came down and celebrated with us as well. it was really a double birthday party because kyle's birthday is a week after mine and he left for a 5 week training course the next day.
i spent the next five weeks working and sleeping. i walked the dogs a few times in there too :) right before kyle got back though we had the hurricane hit here. at least that's what every one is calling it. it was really a hurricane with no water. it didn't rain, but we had strong enough winds that the entire area was out of power. some people it was only for a few days for others it was almost two weeks. i was out of power for about 4 days. which is just enough time for everything to melt and start to get warm. luckily i had an empty freezer that was powered to move some food too. kyle and i are still cleaning up the damage though. we had some branches break off of our trees in the back yard and some siding came loose. the gutters flew off the house and down the road a bit. i got them back though. anyway, now kyle is home.
we just got back from a wedding over in the eastern side of ohio. it was at this little vineyard. it was really a lot of fun. and i got to see kyle in a tux and cowboy boots! well anyway, for those who don't know, mom and dad created a bignall family blog for us to keep in touch as a family. i think it's great. i put up a blog there about this great book i've been reading. i'm going to paste it on here as well for those who don't want to go there. well that's it for now.
