Tornadoes

I just crawled out of my cellar, where I sat with my husband and the insurance broker who was at our house for the last 45 minutes because we were under a tornado warning! It ws so strange, because we have a weather siren in our town that goes off every night at 7:00p, but tonight it was going off at 9! And it went off for three whole minutes, which means a warning has been issued. And here we are looking online and on the television for infomation- and there was absolutely nothing posted!!! It took 3 more minutes after the siren went off for the television and internet to catch up. My friend from work called and asked if we were in our cellar, I said "Not yet" and she said, "get going- the tornado just touched down 8 miles away- and its heading our way!!!"
And last night we sat at Wal-Mart while it hailed so much and so hard that we couldn't talkto each other in the store. And got home just in time to get drenched when round two started. We have a huge tree branch in our driveway that the power company had to come take down off the power lines. (I took pictures- will post later)
Summer is officially here!!! :-)
And so, I just spent 45 minutes in my cellar, but that is okay. Better to be safe than sorry. And luckily the tornado did not get close, and so far have heard of no damage or anything. We thank GOD for His protection.
We had to smile as the broker from Denver left, he is still freaked out and in shock. I have the feeling he'll be talking about his "near death experience" for a while... :-)

Wedding Pics

Okay, so they're a liitle late... but better late than never! :-) I can't believe that we will be married two months tomorrow already!!! How time flies, and we are getting closer and closer to getting everything unpacked in our new house too! I am soooo thankful for that!

Blahhh...

Ever have on of those days where you just don't want to do anything?!?!? I am having one of those days! Major!!! And its especially tough because its a work day, so I HAVE to do something, and I just don't want to- I would like to go home and crawl into bed, and not leave it for the next day. I would love to catch up my reading and my to-do list (still working on thank you cards), and update my blog... and I just don't seem to ever have enough time to get things caught up... BLAHHHHH!!!

Ten years already???

This weekend is my 10-year high school reunion. I can't beleive ten years has gone by. Am I really that old??? I feel like it was just yesterday.
I am going to this reunion, this is probably the only one I'll go to. Its not like I've kept in touch with anyone since graduation. There were not a lot of people who were nice to me in high school. But I am going to show that people can change, and that physical appearance does NOT make the person. Because while most of them are going to show up heavier and balder and wearier looking than ten years ago, I am showing up looking better that ever!!! Far from perfect, but 160 lbs lighter than the last time any of them saw me. I bought a new dress and new shoes (my SIL Sally, would appreciate them- they have 3 inch heels!! :-) At times I feel bitter about my high school days and the way I was treated, and at times I look forward to seeing a very few of the people who are going to be there. I pray my attitude stays away from the bitter, and that maybe some of these people have grown up and maybe we can just have a good time. But to keep my hopes from getting too high, I keep telling my husband, "We're just going on a date, and some of the people I went to high school with are just going to happen to be there." And he's the one I'd rather be with anyway!!! :-)
