We are finally getting to the point we don't have a major freakout every time there's a thunderstorm warning. This hail was from a storm that passed through today. We're still having a little trouble with tornado warnings, but we're getting better. I think a lot about the fact that last year, during the tornado outbreak, we left town and returned to a lot of damage and destruction, but our house was ok. Had we stayed in town, we would have probably peed our pants but we would've survived. While I'm thankful we didn't have to see and hear that F4 tornado in person, I wonder if I robbed God of an opportunity to strengthen my faith by taking matters into my own hands.

Nothing Major Happened, But.......

Sometimes I wonder if this statement is true.... for instance, when I expect a presidential election to be less slanderous than it was four years ago, or when I expect someone's ex to not act silly, or when I get on facebook and expect people to not be seeking attention. It's all good though.

Dresser Makeover

My mom and dad repainted Lydia's brown dresser a bright pink color.

Sherwin Williams Feverish Pink - It's brighter than it appears in this picture. Flowers are from the Dollar Store with some scrap fabric filling the vase.

You're probably familiar with the Ryan Gosling Hey Girl meme that became so popular awhile back? I didn't know there was a Hunger Games version.

Warmth

It was finally warm enough to have coffee on the front porch this morning.

Within 5 minutes of my parents arriving from Illinois....

They were like little oompa-loompas, carrying furniture out and painting and fixing up Lydia's room.
