my hurricane party got out of control

I'm praying for Helen and Nicole and Kimma, and about half my extended family, today. :( I'm especially worried about my grandma. She's having strange health problems lately and seems confused, and a Category 4/near 5 hurricane is the last thing she needs right now.

I've only been in one hurricane- Hurricane Floyd in 1987- and I think it was a tropical storm by the time it hit. I do remember that the schools closed early, and I got to leave and go to Wendy's with my grandma while my dad boarded up the house. That night I heard a lot of wind through the window shutters, but when I woke up in the morning, the storm was already gone. Wimpy hurricane. There was another time when a strong one came close to Miami, but turned back out to sea at the last minute. I want to say it was Diane, but I don't think that's right.

We picked up Evan's new Cabriolet last night. It is awesome. It's in great shape, has power windows and locks, and did I mention it's a convertible? :D I LOVE it. We drove around with the top down, and came to the stunning realization that he now has a nicer car than I do (even though his is a '95!). I'm so excited I get to ride around in it this weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, I get off work at noon tomorrow! To make the most of my last afternoon off till the wedding (gulp), I have a 12:30 wedding consultation at Libby's Flowers. Hopefully they will be reasonable and I won't have to search all over town. In further good news, the tux situation is getting under control, and I have almost all the addresses I need for the invitations. It's exciting that there are only 86 days left, but this week (for planning and other reasons) I've been more stressed than happy. My Bible time is still in Isaiah, and I've claimed a new verse that is helping me: So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. I wasn't feeling very God-centered for a while, but recent worries are turning me back to Him. I guess that's why they happen.
