Oh Sandy!

Well I am back from a loooong hiatus of not blogging! The past 7 days have been crazy here in NJ. We had a "frankenstorm" blow through the Garden State and turn things upside down and inside out! We have been without electricity for 7 days. Thank God for our amazing family we have not had to suffer - We have been given a generator to use by Mikey's grandpa, meals and hot showers by my aunts and uncles. It could have been much much worse for us.

On October 29th 2012 Hurricane Sandy barreled in and devasted the tri state area. The hardest hit areas were Staten Island, NY Long Island and the beautiful Jersey Shore.

The Jersey Shore is much more than some stupid show about some douchey guidos. Its where we spend our summer vacation with our family. It is where familes live and business are run - and all that is devasted now.

Its sad that that stupid show is what people think of when they hear about the Jersey Shore - because its much more than that.

I have had sooo many memories - my most recent are the summers I spent there with my Grampy. He loved Long Beach Island so much. I am so blessed to have been able to spend those last years with him.

I pray for the people that had there homes destroyed and all those who have lost everything. Hopefully we can all band together to rebuild - and we can continue to make memories there.
