Rain, rain, and more rain!

I am most definitely NOT complaining. We were in desperate need of some good rain. With the rain it has brought much cooler temperatures. Byron even said yesterday, I am liking August so far. Usually, August is one of the hottest months in Oklahoma. This past week its been around 90 and think our high for this Thurs. is 79. So that's great!

This past Thursday night we had a pretty intense storm. The wind blew like crazy. Thankfully, our electricity stayed with us. It went out a couple of times but would come right back on. The only bad thing is when it storms our dish satellite goes out. So its difficult for us to know how bad things are. Thankfully, my parents still have their trusty antenna. So mom always calls to let us know what the weather man is saying. We have bought a Noah (SP?) but it doesn't work in our house. We think since the house is metal it won't allow radio frequencies. Because of the nasty storm my clock and timer on my stove no longer works! I discovered that when I made the kids cinnamon rolls on Friday morning and burned them! I had reset the stove clock and the microwave clock earlier that morning. Once I discovered I had burned the rolls I clicked the timer off. The clock on the stove was 15 mins. behind the microwave time. Everything else on the stove still works which is great and really that is all that matters!

Its rained most of the night. The radar shows that we could be getting a little storm here in bit. We are very thankful for the rain, but we hope this whole week isn't like this. We have way too many things that need to be done before we come to Washington. It will be one busy week preparing for our visit! We are stressed, but so excited! We know once we are there we will be able to relax and just enjoy being with our family and friends. Can't wait to see you all! Have a great day!
