Happy Birthday Wesley!




Just a quick post to say Happy 12th Birthday to my little cousin Wesley. I was wanting to say it's been such a awesome blessing getting to know him since they moved here and just "5 houses down" as somebody puts it! :-) I must say we have had lots of fun times with Wesley so far and I love seeing him grow up.


He is a wonderful young man. Looking forward to many more great times. Love You Wesley!

Tornado?







After deciding not to goto Gym on Monday morning I hear a strong storm outside while laying in bed. A few minutes after the storm I get a phone call from my cousin Tamara which just lives "5 houses down" as she says. She tells me they had firetrucks in front of there house and something was going on.





I then come to find out the house right next to them had very bad damage to it. The garage was basically gone and the roof of the house was mainly gone! To me it looked like a tornado had reach down and picked out their house for some reason. It was a unbelievable sight I had not seen since the tornado of 1986. The good thing is that are neighbors were unharmed thank God!






As for Tamara's house it had some damage also. Two of her ridge vents were ripped off. After getting one down the street. Sam, Wes and myself nailed them back in place and also a few shingles so the rain would not come in. On down our street things were crazy. Power, telephone and cable lines were down. As for some trees broke and uprooted. In all everyone was safe and as for the clean up it was good exercise for all.
