camp out nightmare!

we recently purchased a travel trailer from some friends of ours who are moving. evan has been wanting to have a little campout with sulli since we got it and last night was the night. my parents and sister are in town visiting and so all the beds were full, so ev decided that he and sulli would try it out. little did he know that last night, a storm from H-E-double hockey sticks (haven't heard that in a while have ya?) would sweep through the valley. it took me forever to fall asleep last night but the last time i looked at the clock was about 11:30. then at 1:30 my eyes popped wide open as i heard a very loud crash and thought the roof of our house was going to be ripped off. i raced downstairs to see what was going on outside and our bbq which was under the protection of our covered patio had been blown off the patio out into the yard. and toys and tarps were flapping in the wind ready to take flight. i ran around like mad scooping things up and bringing them inside. benny woke up from all the loudness of the hail hitting the windows. so i had to tend to a crying, scared little boy.

and all i could think of was "i hope that the trailer doesn't blow over!" i was expecting ev and sulli to come running in any moment...but they never did. i have never prayed the same thing over and over again for so long. i must have prayed "please keep evan and sulli safe" over 1,000 times last night. the wind would die down...and i would drift off...and then it would come back! ahhhh. horrible night. we are all zombies this morning. i had to get up early and sing at church and was planning on planting my garden today. don't think that it will be happening any more. darn weather!

anyways, hope you all had a better night than we did. just glad that we are all in one piece this morning...haggard but ok.
