Hurricane Sandy

On October 29th Hurricane Sandy was heading straight for NYC. Ivan and Everett were down at Steve's apartment and took a walk to the river. The wind was so crazy and the water was rising already. On October 30th NYC shut down the electricity below 42nd Street which affected us. We decided to wait it out a day or 2 to see if they would turn it back on. At first it was fun living in the dark but then without a shower and having to climb 7 flights while 10 months pregnant - it just didn't seem like a good idea to stay in our apartment. After calling around and not being able to leave NYC I finally found us a place to stay. My old Boss and friend Steven Cooper was away for the week and offered us his (Penthouse) apartment on Central Park. Well after being there for a few days we didn't want to leave. 4 Bedrooms and 2 floors with your own elevator access was very exciting to Everett (who are we kidding it was so cool for us too)! Everett got to drive the elevator a few times! We stayed for 4 nights and then the power was finally on! We were so grateful for the generosity of our friends Steve & Nancie.

Not such a bad view to wake up to!
