Tsunami fake out

What a day! Woke up shortly after 4 to news that a Tsunami was headed to paradise. I glued myself to the news all day until 2pm when they finally called the all clear. No Tsunami for Hawaii, a lot of excitement and no action (Not the good kind of excitement). We played it cool for the first few hours then realized we could be in for it and ventured out. Cars lined the streets in front of gas stations and grocery store parking lots were packed. One thing is for sure, Hawaii's economy had a great day! We didn't go too overboard thank goodness! Bought 4 bags of ice, which are currently melting on our porch while Ruby tries to devour every last cube (the girl loves her some ice!), propane, water of course and sunchips (duh). We are on the top floor of a house so we figured we would be okay, good thing becuase I havent the first clue as to what I need to take with me if we do ever get evacuated.
I need to gather up a kit in case this happens again, but we always say we are going to do that and then never do (you know its true!).
Skyped with my family ALL day while watching the news. It was an interesting day!! Just watching and waiting...
When I woke up this morning after hearing the news it was all I could think about that I had NO clue how my day was going to end. All the prayers and well wishes worked! The tsunami stayed away and basically was a gorgeous day out, just too bad we didn't get to enjoy the amazing weather!
Now just resuming life and getting ready for our first visitors a week from today! I am so happy there still a beach and a beautiful place for my family to come to! I hope this week flys by - I just cannot wait until Saturday night.
Off to have some dinner with the neighbors.
Thanks everyone for all the prayers!
