We were at our church's annual block party last night, when the cloud of dust ran us over. I didn't even realize it was coming, until our preacher's wife came inside and asked if I had a camera in my purse. I said no, but I had my phone. Why? So, I stepped outside and saw what the first picture shows. I went back inside and then realized that Neil and Owen were outside still. So, I ran out there and took Owen so Neil could help the guys bring in the food. About a minute later it hit. I wish you could tell in the video how fast the storm was moving. It was very eerie! Everyone crowded inside and tethered ourselves down and listened to some great music, Best Friends from LCU, ate some great food, sausage wraps, and enjoyed some great company. I just LOVE our church family. I've never felt so at home in a place in my life! Unfortunately, in the middle of the party, Neil got a call saying the computers at the City of Lubbock went down and they couldn't get them back online. So, we headed home so Neil could head to Lubbock. He didn't make it back until 12:30. So, he just left for work this morning. It's always nice to eat breakfast with him!
Well, Emma's birthday went out with a bang. But she did have a great day! I think after her party she will feel like she had a birthday. She loved her new IPOD Touch. Thanks for the help grandparents! And Emma. Poor thing! We made her help pay for it! (: She and Lily played on it all day. And finally around 9:00 last night it needed charging so she reluctantly let me have it. Lol! Love those girls!
Anyway, I just wanted to show the dust bowl of 2011. (: Have a great, dustless day!
