The first week back is always a hurricane!

It was so good to some home for a few weeks before school. Its always good to see family and good friends. Coming back to Columbus is always an adjustment, but this time to mix things up we had to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Ike! That particular Hurricane must have had something against the Mackay family because he hit Huston where my brother and Dad live (they are all okay!) and then headed north to Ohio! Yeah, I never knew hurricanes came to Ohio, but apparently they do. It was technically a level one hurricane and did quite a bit of damage. My power was only out for about 36 hours, but some unfortunate folk went the whole week without it. Crazy! In addition to that mayhem, I have been busy getting prepared for my first semester as a college teacher. Now that is scary! :) Wish me luck!
