Stormy Friday

So today there is no progress report because I did nothing. I am not sure if I am getting sick or what, but I listened to my body and just relaxed most of the day. Needless to say I think I am going to e-mail the school about adding a week or 2 into my break. I think I could use it to say the very least.

Danny got out of school early today. They let out at 1:00 but I ended up checking him out about 12:30, things just seemed to be getting too bad too close and way too fast. It was also their picture day and he looked so handsome this morning. We had a nice day at home seriously doing nothing.

Before we went to get him though a stray storm came up and it hailed....hard. John Michael was amazed so pictured had to take place. He kept saying he did not know it would Snow in the Spring. I assured him it was not snowing and when it was over and covered our back deck we let him pick up a piece and see for himself that it was truly ice. He thought it was pretty neat and could not wait to tell Danny.

My brother in law is visiting his amazing woman in Tuscaloosa and so Brandon was keeping up with them. He said that there was damage a quarter mile from them on either side but other than no power they were okay.

Listening to the news and weather I know that there was at least 1 death in the state and several injuries, and know that my prayers are with all of these people. Also with those who had damage of any kind. I hope that everyone stays with the local news as they are still on and covering these storms.

I am off to bed. Before I go I will be praying for all of my family and friends. Also, I am praying for anyone affected by this storm including the dedicated meteorologists who have been on air all day. While I am sure people missed a show or whatever know that the thousands saved by these men and women are more important than any show ever could be. Stay safe and thank you for all that you do.

Lighting and Lightening

So it is becoming the norm around Birmingham, Monday means storms. From the looks of everything all is well outside, with the exception of Danny's basketball goal. The backboard broke in the wind. He is not going to be happy when he sees it. I am hoping that we can find another backboard for a reasonable price or that Brandon can get creative and fix it up. So definitely do not need any more financial issues.

Thank you all who prayed for my mom. Her tests came back and everything looks good for now. The doctor is going to check hr every 6 months. Our prayers were definitely answered, thank you all again.

So Brandon got me 2 light kits for my birthday, and I finally got them out of the box. Well, he helped. I am so excited and cannot wait to use them. They have the soft box or the umbrella options. I am so excited. Growing this business has truly been a blessing and with new equipment it means more growth potential.

I also got a corner curio cabinet. I have needed one for a while. I collect wine glasses and it is time to get them out and put them where they can be seen and maybe even used. Now I have somewhere for them. YAY! I will be working on getting them out of boxes this week. Brandon had a blast putting it together. Puzzle piece furniture as he referred to it, but he did a great job and I really like it more than I thought would.

I have put another class behind me. YAY! I have 7 days off as my next class does not start until next Tuesday, but that just means I have 7 days to get a lot done. I know that I can do it, it just means focus and energy. If anyone wants to donate to my home organization fund let me know. I am ready to know where it all is and get rid of it. When I see my BFF Amy I am sending her home with some serious baking items! They need to be used and she is amazing so I know that they will feel more welcomed there with her!

Well, I am off to bed. Before I go to sleep I will say a special prayer for all of my family and friends. I hope that everyone made it through the storms with no damage. Weather always has and probably always will amaze me. I know what it can do especially with winds like we had tonight.
