Quick update

We didn't end up going to Ashlee's ballgame last night b/c it rained all day and we had the dogs with us and didn't want them getting muddy then getting back into the car for the ride to IL. So we left right at 5:00 when he picked me up from work. On the way there we kept hearing about tornado warnings, but we didn't see any rain. There were a few dark clouds, but overall a nice ride. I saw 2 deer just outside of covington, so a little nature, too. Oh, speaking of nature... Did I say we didn't see rain? Well, that is true until we got w/in 30 minutes of his parents house? Have you ever seen a shelf cloud? Well, boy did we! It was huge. The weather was very calm and in the sky we saw what looked exactly like a shelf. We we just waiting for a funnel cloud to come down out of it. We even saw a car that had pulled over along an overpass and was taping the shelf cloud apparently waiting to see a funnel come down out of it. We never did see a funnel cloud, but it seems like it was getting larger, so I called Donna. Just in the 2 minutes I talked to her she said the radar didn't show anything but rain where we were. Eric sped up and then the rain hit! Boy did it ever! I got off the phone and we just kept looking around just sure we'd see a twister. Again, we didn't see it, but we had to drive slower and with our hazards on so people could see us (a downfall of having a silver car). Anyway, we finaly made it and thought that was the end of our excitement.

We decided to sleep downstairs in the basement w/ the dogs especially w/ it storming. BAD IDEA! Little did we know that Dave would be up until around midnight watching TV, which seemed to be really loud to us downstairs, then everytime someone got up to use the bathroom, we would hear the dogs run around (thinking they were going out), then either water running or the toilet flushing, let alone them walking around. His mom has to be up early for work. How early you ask? She gets up at 3:30 AM, YES AM! So, we basically didn't sleep until she left around 5:30. Oh, she also decided to take the dogs for a walk at 4:00 am. Goodness! We slept til about 8:30 am. Needless to say we are sleeping upstairs tonight.

After getting up we went to the outlet mall and then on to the regular mall. Of course, I had to buy some stuff from VS and Eric ended up buying a whole new outfit for the wedding. All except for shoes. We are going to dinner this evening with his parents and then we are going to the movies to see Vin Diesel, oh I mean, Chronicles of Riddick. Tomorrow is the wedding, of course, and we won't be home until late, so I'll finish up a weekend update Sunday or Monday morning.
