Surviving the Week of Natural Disasters

Nature is throwing a party here in Virginia. We've had the dismal swamp fire going on. Then on Wednesday, Nature threw us for a loop by rattling the ground with an earthquake. And yesterday, we were in the midst of tornadoes and a hurricane! Luckily, things weren't really that bad. It's more unusual than anything else. We never lost power for more than a few seconds and we're very greatful.

Our backyard during the storm....Nothing much

to look at...just the pepper plants have seen

better days!

Well, I just wanted to put a little update here to say, we survived!! :) Ronnie will be going out today with some other members of our church to help where he can. Today looks like a beautiful day! Hopefully all the rain put out that fire! Happy Sunday!

A Wedding in Nebraska

Ronnie's youngest brother was married this weekend in Omaha, Nebraska at the Winter Quarters Temple. It was a really quick trip for us. We flew out Thursday to Kansas, Friday we drove 6 hours to Omaha, Saturday we went to the wedding and drove the 6 hours back to Kansas, Sunday we flew back home. Like I said quick trip.
