I found an even better storm pic of that insanity that went right over our house the other day.

I am so glad that nobody got hurt!

But it is a beautiful picture.

We didn’t have any big storms the day after, but it rained and rained and rained until almost lunch.

It was the kind of morning that makes you want to languish in bed until noon.

I love you.

We didn’t die, we didn’t even get hurt.

Ok, so no. Seriously.

There was a tornado near us yesterday.

Honestly, it was too close to our house for comfort.

I mean, I have lived in Lubbock off and on since I was 18 and I have never seen anything like that before.

We could see the rotation of the clouds over Wolfforth and the entire storm ended up right over our house.

Thankfully, the tornado did not ever touch down.

There was a minute or two there though that I wasn’t sure if everything was a non-issue or if we were going to have to run for the basement at Ms. Frida’s house.

I stood in the driveway watching until it began to hail.

When I finally came inside, you H and K, were in my closet watching Aladdin on my iPad and eating Pringles potato chips in the dark (we still had power).

T, you had been asleep for half an hour.

I love you.

H, we went to Gia’s birthday party this last Saturday.

She’s a friend in your class at school.

After basketball practice, I took you and Hannah – K even got to come along.

(Mom stayed home with T.)

Anyway, they had a pool party and cookout in their backyard to celebrate.

And I’m gonna be honest, I have never known anyone personally that owned a Lamborghini.

Of course, they had a big nice house (a lot of people do.)

But they had a a massive RV, two Hummers, a truck, and the Lambo.

Money is not everything. I know.

And it will not make you happy – but I’m honestly just stunned.

Owning two cars that are each worth more than most people’s houses is just not something you see everyday.

You girls just soaked up our first real swim of the summer.

I love you.
