Privileged Duckies
So my sister sent me a link to a webpage the other day of a picture. I had no clue as to what it was, but then the page opened. Lo and behold! There were some really cute rubber ducks on a wedding cake! It was so surprising and so fun that I was just laughing when I saw it. They were so perfect looking on the cake!

Of Storms and Showers
Hi All,
Hehe, yeah so I better blog otherwise I might hear some noise soon.
I had a very interesting Wednesday and Thursday this past week. There were storms galour. On Wednesday it wasn't too bad but it was loud (with the added effect of some hail during the night). Then, on Thursday night, major storms were a-rollin' in. Many counties were under tornado watches and severe thunderstorm warnings set up by the Weather Service. I didn't think too much of it then, although I knew it was coming our way in Carrollton. So I went to bed. All of a sudden, at 3:30 am, I woke up to the terrifying and almost creepy sound of the tornado siren. It's always reminded me of the air raid sirens from the World Wars. I quickly got up and went to see where everyone was. They were all up and about by the bathroom right by my bedroom. The tv was on and we were keeping an eye on the weather. Then the power went out, and we rushed to get some candles lit. It was out for a good 15 or 20 minutes actually. Thankfully Patrick has some radios/walkie-talkies that are always connected to the weather sation. After a while the lights came back on and we turned the tv back on to see what was going on. Most of the worst was over finally and I watched the weather till about 4:30 and then went back to bed. The next day, apperantly the Storm Chasers finally concluded there had actually been several minor tornados in the Carrollton area. That's a first in my 9 years of being in Texas. I praise the Lord that we are all safe and alive. And that we still have places to live.
We had a nice weekend! It's been cool lately. Saturday Christy and Teressa had a babyshower! It was sooo cute! The decorations were very well done and the cakes were oustanding. Christy got lots of cute things for Annie. She's going to have a wonderful room! Teressa also got lots of very cute things for Eva too. =D It was just so fun... we all had a great time.
(Whew! I hope you made it all of the way through the post! it was long!)
