What a weekend!

This has been one crazy weekend! It all started on Friday afternoon. On my way home from work I noticed in my rear view mirror that a black wall of clouds was headed toward Memphis. I also heard some tornado warnings on the radio for counties in Arkansas. I called James and told him to try and leave work so he could get home before the storm could get to our house. I hate storms and didn't want to be home with Case by myself. So, when Case and I got home we were standing on the front porch watching for him and in about a span of 10 seconds or less, the wind picked up so fast and so strong that we barely had time to get inside and get the glass door shut before limbs just started falling from the sky like rain and I screamed! It was amazing how hard the wind blew, but it didn't last very long. The worst part was over in about three minutes. Yes, James was in his car during all of this and I was more worried about him than anything. Anyway, we were without power all night and didn't sleep much, so we headed to Dyersburg on Saturday morning to see James' grandparents and to enjoy some air conditioning and TV! Sorry the pics are blurry. I don't know what happened...

Case with Pa Neal

Yes, we pulled a "Britney Spears" but please don't turn us into CPS. When we got back to Memphis on Saturday evening, Poplar was shut down close to our house due to a snapped power pole, so we had to take a detour and traffic was backed up so bad that we just got Case out of his seat and he helped James drive.

When we pulled into our driveway we saw our porch lights on and started screaming in delight!
