Many have wondered how close the tornadoes were to us...

We have had several calls about how we fared with yesterday's tornadoes. We were not even aware of the fact that we were under a watch. We were so wrapped up in taking care of my DS and cleaning up all the dirty laundry from his virus that we did not even know it was going on until my sister called to ask how we were. She said that tornadoes had touched down near us. The city that was hit is right next to ours but the actual areas that were hit are about 15-20 mins. from our house. We did not even have strong winds in our area or severe rain. My BIL on the other hand and his future BIL have condos near some of the areas that were hardest hit. His future FIL and MIL have a brand new house (they have not even fully moved in yet) in another area that had damage. Fortunately it appears their homes were spared too but homes a not even 1/2 mile away were hit. Tornadoes are really crazy things. They can devastate an entire town but leave one house totally undamaged.

So far there seems to be no signs of the virus in the rest of our family and my son is totally back to his 2 year old self. My dh took my DD and niece and oldest nephew to a special service at church on Sunday evening with an evangelist group called "Team Impact". They are a group of former athletes and bodybuilders that perform acts of strength and use it to reach the unsaved with their testimonies and preaching a message of salvation. She was very "impacted" by the acts of force. She is now wanting to try to break blocks of wood and ice (where on earth would you buy a block of ice nowdays?) with her head. Lovely quality in a little lady....On the other hand, maybe that will keep the guys at bay.....
