Well, my family came to Anderson yesterday after my son Devin's birthday party so that we could attend a memorial/Celebration of life for my cousin Dean who was killed by a car. We got into town Saturday night and ate at Ponderosa for dinner. Of course all of my kids love Ponderosa because they get to eat as much as they want. It was good and they all ate well.
Today I woke up to my boys arguing over cars. My dad was watching them and letting me sleep longer since I don't normally get to, but I still had to get up. My mom took the girl scout girls to a pretzel making thing this morning so Kenzi was gone. I got the boys to stop arguing and then started looking up stuff on the internet because I got a text message about storms. At 11am I told Jarred that I wouldn't be driving home today in this weather.
At 1:30 we headed to the Celebration of Life for Dean Carter, my cousin. It was a nice memorial and one that will help many with the closer they normal get once there is a death in the family. Deano will be missed tremendously, but will always be in our hearts. My little sister and I sang at the memorial and it turned out okay. I miss Dean like crazy and still can't believe that he is gone, but I know he is with God and he is able to see and watch over us now.
At around 2:50 or so I was informed by three different people that a tornado touched down in Lebanon and wondered if we were alright. I have been in Anderson so I was glad I wasn't around for that weather, but I was scared for Jarred who is home by his self and I know how he is. However, this time he did go to the bathroom like he is suppose to, but he was safe and sound. The storms have now passed, but we are still at my parents house.
In the morning I will be driving to work from Anderson with all of the kids. I hope that Jarred doesn't forget anything in the morning!
I hope that all of you are safe and sound enjoying your time together. Be safe!
