* We were pretty tired last Sunday after our crazy busy Saturday. It had stormed during the night (Saturday into Sunday) so we woke up to big messes of debris everywhere outside. No actual damage. Just messes to clean up. On our way home from church, we went through the car wash, which is always fun - and then we hit the couch to rest for the day. I did some scrapbooking and we went for a walk, but all in all, it was rest day!
* Monday was Memorial Day, and you already read the full story about that, but the quick recap is that Ryan worked, and when he got home, we went on a little ice cream/walk in the park date. We had our friend Amber join us for a cookout (well, cook-in, because of weather) and then we sat around like the marvelous hosts we are - watching tornado warnings on TV.
* Tuesday night, we had CRAZY storms. Our power went out for quite a while, a big old river showed up in our backyard, and roads all over Kokomo started flooding. It was nuts. I hate storms - and I was behind on things at home - so I stayed home to be terrified and productive, and Ryan went over to work at his dad's house. It appears he encountered a little bit of drywall dust...
* Wednesday night I got to try out the new Total Gym at the gym. (You know the Chuck Norris/Christy Brinkley informercial, right?) Turns out...I love it! I mean I can't move, but I love it! I made clean eating cheeseburger hot pockets that night - and they were SO good. I was impressed! And once all our chores were done, we just collapsed in bed and watched TV until we fell asleep.
* Thursday morning (along with all the other mornings this week) I was knee-deep in writing, and Braeya was knee deep in sleeping through it. We had more crazy skies that afternoon, though thankfully no storms hit us directly. And we went back to Ryan's dad's to do more work. Painting for me!! (And after that Total Gym workout, painting itself was a workout!)
* Friday night we delivered Mo to his new home. (We hadn't been able to take him because of all the rain. Our truck doesn't have a cover, so we had to wait for a dry day. FOUND ONE!!!!) We made a date night of it - had dinner, got some coffee, conversations in the car, and then on the way home, we stopped by my parents' to give dad a class on his new phone. I was impressed with how well he did!
* Ryan worked yesterday, and I worked out. (Almost the same thing, right?) When I got home from working out, I discovered that some of our rose bushes have beautiful blooms! YAY!!!! I love pretty flowers! We ended up heading back to Ryan's dad's to do some more work there. I painted and Ryan did sanding and mirror installation. And then we came home to watch DVR'd Dateline episodes. We're the coolest!

Busy week!! That ice cream looks ahmazing and got to love Ryan's drywall mask!
That rose is gorgeous. Some of my flowers have bloomed but most will this week (I think) and I'm so looking forward to it.
Monday night Memorial Day we had an F3 tornado tear through our town in Ohio. 40 homes destroyed. It has been a trying week. God is good and the community has banded together.
Tamar - It WAS ahmazing! I could go for more right now!
Maria - YAY for flowers!! We have one bush that has barely started growing, but the rest are thriving!
Becky - Oh goodness!! I did hear that some areas like Celina and Dayton got hit really hard. I am so sorry for all the destruction around you! I really don't like tornadoes AT ALL, so I am really, really sorry you were impacted! But I do love hearing that the community has banded from it. That is always a boost to see!
