So we survived the massive storm last night. Funnel clouds, wall clouds and cloud rotations were popping up everywhere last night, and fortunately, we were not in the direct path of destruction. Though a decent chunk of our normally upright standing flowers are now laying at a 45 degree angle, we feel lucky. It was pretty eerie watching the spooky clouds coming together over our neighborhood and just off to the Northwest of us we could see everything rolling in and the sky turning pitch black. I'm pretty sure that it was the closest I've ever been to potentially having a tornado rip through my yard (so of course, we spent a good amount of time standing outside after the sirens had been sounding, talking to the neighbors instead of heading for cover ASAP). We had considered checking out the Ramsey County Fair last night after L got off of work, but instead we hunkered down in the basement with all of our animals (it was fairly comical to watch the two of us trying to round up Darla and Dwight, and then carrying all of the degu and bird cages down the stairs), watched Couples Retreat (which I would definitely recommend), and ate year-old wedding cake a night early. The cake was surprisingly good for having been in the freezer for a year- thanks Mom and Dad for wrapping it so well and storing it for us in the basement freezer!
Today we're off to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and will update later this week with what we did and should hopefully have lots of photos.
Thanks again to everyone who have been there for use through out our nearly 7.5 years together and witnessed us commit to each other for a lifetime, and then helped us celebrate afterward!
