Haha yeah I did survive the hurricane! Heck, our apartment didn't even lose power! How anti-climatic is that? We were preparing for something epic, but nothing really happened in our neck of the woods. Our area didn't really do much to prepare for the hurricane, except for buying water and other nonperishable goods in case loss of power. I guess you can count that as a serious blessing, but it still would have been sick to be able to claim you went through a harsh storm like a hurricane. All I can say is that I am glad I got out of Vermont! While we were doing our laundry this morning, I saw that Vermont was experiencing some serious flooding. And I know for a fact that the area I was in must have gotten it bad! We had a pretty intense storm while I was there and it caused serious damage from falling tress (there are A LOT of trees in Vermont). So it definitely was a bust where we were. Some areas lost power due to a tree falling down on power lines, but that is the extent of the damage.
The baptism on Friday went really well! It was very well attended and it went extremely smooth. Everything went to plan and fell right into place. The only hiccup was one of the speakers showed up seconds before he was supposed to talk. But he was forgiven when he explained during his talk that his best friend just died in the hospital and that he has been with him for the past few days before he passed away. It was a touching talk and really brought a special spirit to the meeting. Melissa was extremely happy to get baptized. It was an experience that she won't be forgetting anytime soon! After the baptism, we went over to her place to get our BBQ on! We had burgers, dogs, and pasta salads. For dessert, which I had multiple servings of :), we had a chocolate cool whip spread between graham crackers! Holy cow, it was amazing. What they did was take cool whip and add lots of chocolate into it. Once completed, they took a tin tray and placed graham crackers on their sides and used the cool whip as mortar to keep the grahams together. I don't know how long they sat in the fridge, but by the time we ate them the graham crackers were as soft as the cool whip, which made it amazing to eat! Probably one of my new favorite desserts to eat! It was sooo good.
