Updates...and the wettest day so far.

Sorry I have not blogged in a few days. My main concern has been trying to get a ticket to fly out to California to be with my mom and siblings during this really hard time. I still can't believe it is all real. It just doesn't seem fair. I know I know life is not fair but still. My mom is really having a hard time with the whole thing. Who can blame her. She has been with Pat for 21 years and all of the sudden with no warning bam he's gone. My sisters and brothers are taking it a lot better than I did but they are young and I have no doubt will bounce back from this leaving us all in amazement. Anyway I think I finally got a ticket. Ryan said she would know by tonight so hopefully I will be flying out on Monday to be with my family. Which is great because Pat's funeral is on Thursday and I really don't want to miss it. I really need to be there for my mom while all of this is going on. I got the chance to talk to my sisters today and see how they are doing. I am really surprised at how well Cheyenne is taking it all considering that fact that she is the one who found Pat in the first place. She is only 11 years old and she sounded like she was a grown-up talking to me on the phone today. It sucks that she had to experience this at such a young age. I know heavenly father has a plan for us all but for her to have to see that at her age was just tragic. I love my family despite all the crazy things we have gone through in our lives and along our journeys so far. I know that in the end all of this will make since to us but right now it is all just a big mess. I have faith that he will sort it all out when we are done with our journeys here on this crazy earth. With that note.....

It has been the wettest day in my life. I think it rained like five feet of rain today. I don't know the exact amount but I do know that it was enough to make my driveway into a river and the Cumberland river overflow enough to flood Hwy 24 and shut it down. People are saying that they have never seen anything like this before. At least not here anyway. I can't say I have either. The only thing I could think of while watching the news today was that a lot of town are starting to look like New Orleans did after Hurricane Katrina hit and the Levey's broke. How crazy is all this weather. First we have the Coldest winter I think I have ever had and now the Wettest Spring in years whats next the Hottest Summer. I really hope not. All this bad weather changes have to be a sign of something. What that is I'm not really sure but it can't be good. Dale was able to make it to work but I am really doubting he will be coming home in the morning. I am almost positive that a lot of people had to call into work due to the 24 being closed. Anyway it is suppose to rain like this again tomorrow. I really think we might float away if it does...Ha ha ha.

Anyway I am off to go to sleep....Blog at you tomorrow.
