Chaos and destruction..in more ways than one!

Hey everyone!!!!!!

I have missed you guys soooo much, I went through withdrawls without my computer i tell ya!  I know how it is needing a break from it every now & then but you always know it's there if you wanna hop on it....unlike the last 2 weeks for me.

My house was utter chaos, crap everywhere....we had to box things up as if we were moving in order to get it all outta the way so the carpet could be installed....we had no where to sit, as the old couches were gone...by the end of the week, a week ago....we had no where to lay as the beds were taken down...we left our mattress in the living room propped up against the wall... and at night we would lay it out on the floor to sleep.  My poor little chihuahua didn't know what in the hell was going on...haha  He is soooo spoiled though, he wouldn't lay on the floor, it was too hard for him, i laid a pillow on the floor and he would lay on it, that was before we had our mattress in the living room...I thought u spoiled rotten baby....and we are to blame =)

The carpet is in the house now, and OMG what a huge difference it made in the look of the house...and even the smell...it smells so fresh and new!  I am so proud of it...and so excited to have our new couches and end tables...I have alot of pics to share...but it might be awhile, I promise to post them on here when i can though...... here is the deal.... We gave my old computer desk to my mom...we have been looking for a new one....haven't quite found the "one" yet....this is the first day my computer has been hooked up since the 6th. My computer is set up for the moment on 2 tv trays...haha!   Just making due for the meantime, cause we are in the process of finding wallpaper for the computer room....as well.... I really don't want to put a desk up until the wallpaper is done, cause it would be just another thing to move and be in the way....but my camera dock is still boxed up until we get a desk set up....so when all that is said and done i will share pics with you all....and I am so excited about showing you the changes!

Reminder to self: If we ever move and buy another house in the future, which i doubt we will but IF we do....if it needs carpet install it "before" you move in!!!!!  So there is no furniture in the house... =)

We had the scare of our lives thursday night, we had 37 tornado warnings tristate wide.... 6 of those being for the town in which i live....a tornado tore through town within 2 miles of my house....leaving behind tons of destruction, the National weather association believed there to be an estimated 2 million dollars worth of damage...and that looks to be rising higher and higher.... they declared a state of emergency... I wish i had pics to share... thank goodness we only had big limbs down out of our trees nothing major.... at one point i had the door open looking to see what it was doing outside....and the wind got up to about 120mph....it looked like the trees in our front yard were fixing to lay over....i heard a roaring sound....it sounded like a train....i was hollaring and crying....Jeff told me it was just the train by our house, today he told me otherwise, he said he heard it too, and it was the tornado....he told me it was the train by our house so i wouldn't freak out anymore than i already was.... I have always been terrified of storms. We are so blessed to have had no damage between both of our families....but most of all our lives were spared!  The road that you enter my neighborhood on, had power poles catch on fire...at a bakery in town a delivery truck flipped over, roofs off of homes, a steeple fell into a church....etc.... Here is a link to tell a little about it.... WEHT - NEWS 25 and another....WEHT - NEWS 25 and another....WEHT - NEWS 25  and a Video I hope those links showed all the articles i wanted to share.... it was one of the scariest things I have ever been through..... the tornado took the path from downtown....by my house....by my MIL's and by my mom and stepdads homes..... and we were all blessed!!!!   My thoughts and prayers go out to all the familes affected by the tornado....

I will try to catch up with all of you this week, i came online to 588 emails....shewww!

Have a good one, I am so glad to be back!
