A Hail of a Storm

Wow! Tonight we had a big storm. I do know that the storm on our side of town was not near as severe as other parts of town who got golf ball to baseball size hail. We went to eat with the praise teams and band one last time tonight at Cousin's BBQ. Once we got there around 6:30, it started getting dark and windy. We ate a pretty quick dinner and had a little time to visit but once we saw that things were deteriorating we decided to cut things a little short and head home. Once we got home, it was really dark and the wind was blowing - the girls were getting a little scared (Morgan was with us) and we could hear the sirens from downtown. So, they made a little nest in the bathroom closet with blankets and pillows, got flashlights and were ready to go in the closet at a moment's notice. Then the hail began. We only had pea sized hail but we had a lot of it and it looked like snow had gathered around our curbs when it was over. The storm was really loud so the girls just got in the closet with books and flashlights and stayed there until it was over. Spring weather in Texas! I do have pics but they are not downloaded from my camera to my computer yet. So I will share later.

On another note, this week we have had a great time just visiting with different people during out last week at Wedgwood. Tuesday night we had dinner at Pappasitos with the creativity team. Of course, we stayed too long in the restaurant and laughed alot. We had a good time. Wednesday night's rehearsal was a good one, it was good to be with our choir family one last time and tonight out with the praise teams. We have enjoyed sharing these years with you. We love you all and will miss you. Sunday is our last day at Wedgwood and while we are excited about the journey God has us on, it will be bittersweet. We will miss Wedgwood and will always have such fond memories of you - what a great season of ministry for our family. Can't wait to worship with you on Sunday!

Amy - I know this is a very emotional week for you! I will be praying hard for your family! I'm so glad you guys have been so blessed at Wedgewood! We're very excited to continue the blessing here!

Don't forget, the "terrific trio" needs to do lunch at some point before you forget us all. =) I'm not looking forward to this sunday. It's going to be emotional for all.

Glad you survived the storm. It was a bit scary.

It's not going to be the same without the three of you. I'm trying to be positive, but it's not that easy at this point. I do not look forward to Sunday at all. And, I'm sure going to miss having Kelsie (and her pipes) in the 4th-6th grade choir.
