Well, first of all, I write this from the desktop when I had really hoped to write from the laptop just so I could post pictures of the FLOOD that is going on here with the missouri river.
It is so wild. Chris and I went to see this morning and we saw 2 refrigerators floating in it as well as enormous trees. I have picts, but the laptop is being stubborn.
So......
I will start from where I left off. Sunday the 29th we met mom and dad in Atchison. We hung out at the train park and ate at Pizza hut. it was nice to see them. We don't get to visit with them often so it was nice to know they still exist. :-)
Monday I spent all day grocery shopping, Tuesday I subbed for Hannah's school in the postition I will have next year. Wednesday I ended up helping the PTA president for next year in the office with a major OOPS and then watched Abram. Thursday we had a couple over for dinner to make new friends. It was really awesome! They are so much fun and Chris and I are really looking forward to growing a relationship with them. Thursday was also Chris MTP test. He said it was a lot easier than he thought, so he either aced it or bombed it. He will know sometime this week or next what his scores are and what that means. Will keep you posted.
Friday I walked with Margaret and did some cleaning. Saturday was the Apple Blossom parade and we went with Brett and Abram. It was a blast!!! That afternoon was Nathan's t-ball practice and we found out that actually it is coach-pitch. He is so excited. He is playing for the Athletics. Sunday we spent the day avoiding the rain. It poured and thundered. Ended up that we got almost 10 inches just yesterday. It had been raining here for about 2 weeks, off and on, so it is a no wonder the rivers are high. The ground is just saturated with water and then we just keep getting rain.
Everyone here is saying that the rivers might crest at where they were in the flood of 1993. Everyone is holding their breath because it all hinges on how much rain and water comes from the tributaries in Iowa and Nebraska and the Dakotas. It is due to get here tomorrow night/ Wednesday. The sirens will sound at 29 feet for the town of Elwood to evacuate and the river sits right now at almost 25 feet.
I will see if Chris can help me to get the pictures posted of the level of water and the floating refrigerators.
Till then, this week is busy. Tomorrow and Thursday I am subbing again for Wyatt Park. They are trying to slowly adjust me to my room for the fall. Friday we go to Lincoln for My little pony live for Hannah's birthday.
So, till next time, All our love!
