Tropical Storm Ida

Apparently somebody forgot to tell Mother Nature that hurricane season is over. Here we are in November, and a tropical storm is rolling on shore as I type! It has just started to drizzle here and the wind is pretty gusty at times. Poor Rambo looked as if he was going to just take flight earlier in the backyard! This is Madison's first storm. Nothing major or exciting, but it is still her first. It is also our first storm in the new house. It's a good thing it's just a tropical storm! We don't have boards cut to cover our windows yet or anything! The hubs is working out in Destin today (as per usual) and when I spoke to him a few minutes ago, he said the surf is starting to pick up out there. After living here my whole life and staying through some of the storms that I have (Opal, Ivan, etc..) this is nothing to me. Just some rain and wind. It's actually very relaxing to just hunker down on the couch with my daughter, some books, movies, cuddly pets, pillows and a comfy blanket. Can't wait for the hubby to make it home and join us in our small, family, living room based "Ida" party! Here's to our very first storm, in our very first house and Madison's first storm ever!
