Ahhhhhhhh

After some rather hairy storms last night, the sun is out and life is a lot brighter. PUN intended. Last night, as the storms were brewing and back building over Gage county, my husband was driving right into/through it. I finally made myself shut off the tv at 12:30 (midnight) to go to bed. All I could hear was them saying it's building again and there's another semi on its side at "x" location. It was too much. Suffice it to say, he is alive and well.

Some friends in Kearney had some pretty bad damage to their house and other property. Still waiting for them to get power so they can email the scads of photos they took of the aftermath. Thankfully, they weren't physically hurt. The clean up will take a while. As long as they are alive, that is what really matters and I thank God for that.

I hope you all survived the storms without damage to your bodies, crops, homes, etc. Trees can be replaced. People can't.

I spent a teary morning, watching the news about Kearney and Aurora. I'm really glad your Jeremy made it home OK. Will ya tell him the Dostal's said happy b-day on Monday!?!?!?
(Must get back to work, I'll talk to you when we get back.)
BTW - to wash away any jealousy...my kids are both chirping in their beds upstairs, unable to fall asleep...we have to get them up at 3:30. Big fun. But totally worth a trip to the beach!

He isn't HOME yet. He made it to Wichita. He will be home tomorrow morning.... while you are sitting in the airport on a 4 hour layover. ;) Chirping from the bedrooms..... although irritating.... someday we will miss..... or so I am told!

P.S. I know some people that live in Niceville, FL, only a few miles North of Destin. Sounds like a nice place. I am sure you will have fun and be able to relax, from all I have been told!!!
