Actual Date: Wednesday, September 8, 2010
Ok so it's been awhile again. We've been busy with company and the holidays. But you don't hear me complaining. I wish we had a room on the house for every family member to move into! It's always so sad when they have to leave. It takes a few days for us to readjust to it being just the 5 of us again. But it's sure nice having family around while it lasts.
I am going to try my darnest to get caught up. I got really behind here and it's driving me crazy. So in the spirit of a new year, I am going to fast forward through some of the days so I can get caught up quicker. Plus, I think I might have gotten behind on taking pictures somewhere because I wasn't staying on top of it! So if I skip a day or two here or there, you know why.
Any who, getting back to this day... For two days it had been raining harder than I had ever experienced in my whole life. In fact, by the time I got all the kids unbuckled and ran inside to sign Brooke in at school this morning we all looked like we had stood in the shower fully clothed.
I thought that was bad but what is worse is driving over a dinky little bridge to take Parker to Physical Therapy, only to drive back to that same little bridge an hour and fifteen minutes later and find this...

This was around the corner from the bridge. That's how far the water reached. You can't even see where the bridge should be from this point. It was pretty crazy. I had never seen anything like that.


Apparently that little creek runs along that road too. I never knew it until that point. You can't really see it on a normal day when your driving. But you could REALLY see it today.


But we made it over the bridge here too. And just in time too I think because I saw police out inspecting it when we were going back across.
This whole storm gave me a whole new respect for Mother Nature. It's amazing what she can do in just two days.
