More wet weather on the way...

We are under yet another flood watch starting tonight through Friday. Ugh. We will leave this time and head into town so Russell can still get to work. If he has school. And the boys can get to school. If they have school. Which we won't know until we see/know how bad the rivers rise. In case all you readers are wondering where I disappeared too...I may not have internet access.

Have your neighbors been getting flood damage to their homes? I'm so sorry you have to leave your house. I hope you have friends to stay with.

We don't have any flood damage. It's just that the only road in/out goes under 3-4 feet of swift water. You can't drive a car or mini-van through that. Even if we could get out there are two ways into town. Both of which also go under water and are impassable. Aren't we so lucky? :) On the bright side - we are required to have flood insurance so if something happens we are covered.

So... if no one has school you get to sit in a hotel?

We most likely will leave tonight and stay with a family in our ward. They live on the north end of town. Russell would be able to get to work. If it floods super bad and no one gets to school then we would have to stay with them until the water went down enough to drive home in. We won't be staying in a hotel/motel.

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
