Holy Hannah, have we had some crazy storms here the past few days. We just can't seem to get a weather break for more than a day! The month of May has consisted of two straight weeks of rain (and subsequent flooding in a lot of the lower lying areas), followed by about 2 days of sunshine. Then more rain, and now a whole WEEK of storms!
Luckily none of these storms have spawned tornadoes in Columbus, but there have been tornadoes north of us, south of us, east of us, and west of us. Ridiculous! We are on pins and needles here, people!
Luckily, we are well prepared for a disaster. Well, compared to most people, probably. We have 72 hour kits, and a bunch of water all stored in our nice basement. Oh, how grateful I am to have a basement in a state that gets so many tornadoes! After we saw all the footage from the Alabama and Joplin tornadoes, I told Ben that as long as we still live in tornado alley, we WILL live in a place with a basement. That's the only way you could survive a really bad tornado!
OK, enough about tornadoes, already! In fun news, we are going down to North Carolina tomorrow to spend the weekend there! Ben's sister is leaving for her mission soon to go to THAILAND and she is going through the temple for the first time this weekend. So, we are going to go down for that! We are SO excited for her, she is going to be the BEST missionary! Also, because she is going to Thailand, that means all of the kids in the Carper family who went on missions got called to foreign missions! Ben and another brother of his both went to Brazil. Ben's oldest brother went to the Philippines, and his younger brother went to New Zealand-Mandarin Speaking! Between them all, they know a bunch of languages!
Also, one of my cousins just got called on a mission to South Dakota! And another one of my cousins is currently on a mission in Minnesota! And all these new missionaries are women! I'm so proud of my cousins/sister-in-law! Way to represent the ladies!
OK, that's it. I'll keep you all posted on the storms.
