For the last 2 and a half days, Ashlee, Brian, the kids, Taylor, and I have been confined to the house, due to two straight days of torrential down-pours. I'm not talking wussy Arizona or California rains either, I am talking massive downpours lasting for 2 days straight with no breaks. At times we had no electricity (which means no TV and no internet), the streets were flooded with almost a foot of water ( leaving us to take turns to have someone go buy food) and we had no hot water leaving Ashlee and I refusing to take showers. Good times! I have to say that we did come out of the whole thing virtually unscathed (except for the fact that Abby and Pakers bedroom has mud running down the walls) and I am proud of us for "weathering" through. :)
My heart goes out to Ashlee and Brian who spent over 2 days vacation bunkered down with us. I am sure they will never want to visit again. I also feel for my husband who was so excited to go sport fishing with Brian, but whose trip was canceled due to the storm.
Ashlee and Brian, thank you for coming to visit us. We had a great time. Here is to POPS; chicken, rice and beans; smelling like mildew; bathing in the pool; and chocolinas. Have a safe trip back, and I am so sorry to say it is sunny today.
