We are still alive!

This last Tuesday night our neighbor came by to tell us our car looked nice (we just got it fixed from the $7,000 hail damage that it acquired the same night Alabama got it with tornados).  Right after he walked away we noticed clouds come rushing in and this huge wind gust.  Next thing we knew the trees in front of us were horizontal!  Literally!  We hurried inside and sat in our lovely hallway with no power and not knowing anything!  About 30 minutes later our neighbor came back by and we decided to play cards in the dark!  It was pretty fun!  Lucky 3 hrs later our power came back on, but when it did there was a loud bang.  We didn't know what it was.  We later found out that the bang was a transformer that blew up! The other half of our apartment complex didn't have power for two days!  We were so lucky!

Thursday night Jacob and I watched the NBA draft.  I went to high school with Jimmy Butler who played for Marquette in college!  I've been watching almost ALL of his games and a huge fan!  I was hoping he would be drafted in the 2nd round.  To my surprise he got drafted in the first round!!!!!  I'm so excited for him!  He went to the Chicago Bulls!  I can't believe I'm saying this, but I guess I'm a Bulls fan now!  hahaha!

Well we went to bed happy Thursday night!  :)  Then next thing I know Jacob's phone was going off.  I thought it was his alarm clock and didn't really move.  Then next thing I know he is talking to my dad!  It was 1:15 am!  My dad was calling us to let us know that we were under a Torando Warning and that we needed to go to our bathroom!  I was really tired and in complete shock!  We turned on the news (while in the bathroom) on my labtop.  They specifically said our area was under attack and that there was a possible torando!  I was tired, emotional and thinking I was going to die!  I started crying.  My sweet husband decided we needed to pray.  He is so amazing!  I don't remember what he said, but I instantly stopped crying and felt better!  At around 3:30am I was able to go to sleep!  Two torandos did it our area, but lucky no one was hurt.  Just lots of trees down.  And a lot more people out of power!  Thankfully we didn't lose power this time!

So the summary of this story is that we have survived 3 times (including the night of Alabama when we were under Torando Warnings for 8 hrs)!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm so ready to move away!  But I guess there is natural disasters every where you go!  We are so happy to be alive and hope that everyone is safe whereever y'all are!
