CONTAMINATED!!!

Thanks thunderstorms, tornado's and now floods. So far we had managed to steer clear of the damage. However today I turned on our sink to do some dishes and this is what I got. GROSS! So bottled water it is. Thanks goodness for 72 hour kits. We have about 12 gallons of water on hand. Hopefully that will be enough to wait for the water to get fixed. Although with two more days of rain and rain right now things are not looking hopeful. Our town might be completely underwater before to long if the gates and sand bags don't hold. This flood is breaking all of the previous records from the terrible floods of 1993. Oh I hope things get better soon. This is just yucky!

Good job being prepared! That is pretty much one of the grossest things I've ever seen!

We had that problem too. I understand it was actually the main breaking downtown and causing a flushing of the system (like when the routinely flush the mains). Supposedly that's just the rust coming through and then the water is fine. We're drinking the bottled stuff just to be safe.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
