Hey to the folks

Sorry it's been a while peeps, life has been utterly hectic. Although I love it, I realize that some things in my life take a back burner, such as my blog :)

Let's start at last weekend: Virginia. Had a great time surprising Star for her 30th birthday (which was in April, but whatever!). Betty picked me up at the airport and we went to Star's house and she was kind of like "Wait? What? Why are you here? What's going on?" It was too funny! The rest of the weekend was about Star, Betty, and hanging out with each other, it was great. Betty is about to give birth any day now, but boy is she a trooper!

This weekend was Brooke and Hairy's wedding (and no he doesn't spell it like that, I do). It was a beautiful wedding, and I'm so glad they asked me to be a part of it! I got to see tons of people I haven't seen in ages, which was great. But, this turned out to be the longest weekend ever!

Flash forward to Saturday morning: woke up w/ no water thanks to a leak in the basement, so I went to Mikey and Per's hotel room to shower. We all met for breakfast at 10:30 (Mikey, Per, Tianna, Aaron, Kathie, and myself), and then after that off to Pewaukee for Jeffrey's soccer tournament. During the tournament Brian phoned me to ask if I could drive him to the airport for his grandma's funeral. Being that so many people have driven me to and from the airport, I had to pay it forward. After more soccer, I leave to go get Brian, and after I pick him up we hear a tornado siren, although it looks perfectly fine. We keep going, and eventually even hear another siren. I drop him off, and it starts a torrential downpour. I get phone calls, etc telling me to get somewhere safe so I go to Brooke and Hairy's as they have a basement. I wait out the storm with them, and head home to check on the kittens, etc. As I couldn't sleep at my house b/c who knew when the water would get turned back on, I head over to Kathie's to eventually go to Madison to hang out w/ Nicki. I take the exit to go to Kathie's and try turning down SS and it's blocked off b/c it's flooding! And, I'm not driving my car I'm driving my friend A's little Kia Rio! I barely get it out of there and phone over to Kathie's to make sure everyone is all right. Well, they aren't, the house is flooding. I take a different exit and am able to make it there just in time to bail water for about two hours!

After the rain stopped and we had things under control we were walking around. Everything was flooded. Part of the road busted out because of all the pressure, that's how bad it was! That night we order pizza and pass out pretty early. JUST TO DO IT AGAIN THIS MORNING!!!!!!!! This rain is out of control!

But, I'm home now and the kittens are safe, so don't worry about them.

On a sad note, today is the two year anniversary of my mom passing. The day was pretty hectic so I haven't had time to be sad, but sometimes I want to be sad so I don't know how I feel about that. But, this is a shout out to my mom, Jules, the greatest mom ever. I hope she knows how much she's loved and missed by everyone, especially me.

I hope this was a good update for everyone! Loves!
