Hurricane Info

So we were "in" our first hurricane! We didn't really think it would be too bad for us out here because we are quite a ways from New York City. We knew that the national guard and other people were waiting the storm out in Rochester so that they could go help when it was needed so we figured we were probably pretty safe. We only got the very edge of its path, which just included wind and rain and it was a lot colder than it has been here in a while. Never thought that we would have to worry about a hurricane being this far north but I guess you never know! :)

Nick and I went and walked along Lake Ontario last Thursday. I actually didn't think that you could walk along it, but there is actually a public beach and everything. We have some pretty cool pictures but they are on our phones since I forgot the camera. Once Nick gets home, I will have him show me how to take it off of our phones!

Well, I just thought I would give you an quick update!

Talk to you later,
Love,
Carmen

Sorry that it has been so long since I have updated!  We have been having a good summer!!  My parents got to come at the end of June...we got to see a lot of new stuff that even Nick and I hadn't seen before.  July 3 is their annual "Ring of Fire" around the lake. ( Every year they surround the lake with emergency flares.) Nick and I thought we better go check it out because seemed kind of weird but kind of interesting at the same time.  We were definitely glad we went!  The flares looked really cool along the lake but there were also TONS of fireworks!!  And tons of people, but Nick and I actually managed to find a good spot anyway.  We have had two community events recently.  One was a free music and ice cream night, there were quite a few people but most of them were from our church or Calvary so there weren't very many actually from Livonia.  The second one was an outdoor movie night and we watched "Tangled".  It was definitely a good turn out.  We had over 35 all together and only 10 of them were actually members of the church!  We are having another one next Friday so we'll see if that has the same kind of turn out! I have been searching for a teaching job...no luck so far but that's ok! :)  Just praying that God will send the right thing along! :)

I will try and post some pictures soon from some of the events!!

Love,
Carmen
