Current mood: chipper
Current music:Our creek(s!) running ;)

O.o Could we get our house converted into an Ark? o.O
Okay, NOW there is a river in our backyard (when I say backyard, you must understand that we have a 5 acre back yard!). It's totally flowing. Elijah was just out there floating down the creek (the *new* creek) in our backyard! We are all *so* amazed! If I had a digital camera I would take pics for you all, but I don't. :) I wish you could see it though!!! What makes this all the more interesting is that this new creek is about 30 feet from our house, and the real creek (which looks like white water rapids right now!!!) is nearly 50 feet from our house. Scary!!!!! We are rather nervous, as you can imagine, since we’re hoping it won’t flood our house (it’s suppose to rain through the night) :/ But I must admit, we’re all pretty excited too! :) I guess Hannah told you all that we went out to play in it earlier (when it wasn’t quite so high) which was sooo fun! But freeeezing! :D

Oh, wait! I just looked and we now have 2 new creeks in our backyard!!!! The first new one has totally merged with our normal one, making our normal creek, like, 50 feet wide!!!!! And this is about 20 feet from our house!!!!!!! Whaaa!!!!! :)))))))))))))

And the rain keeps coming and coming...

Sarah, Ben and I went shopping and when we first left we crossed the bridge on Mullen - coming back, the bridge was flooded so we couldn't cross! I haven't seen it this bad in many years...its not *quite* as bad as the flood we had back in 95 or so, but its getting there!

But of course I saw you guys! And right when you slowed down at the end of our driveway, I freaked out and ran outside and waved! The whole house was in an uproar! :D We thought you guys were driving around to see how high the water had come, so we all ran to the car (figuring that you'd turn around after the bridge) and drove up there, but you were gone! :( But we decided to drive around and see how things looked, and we went up your road, too! We did see that bridge flooded over (ours was also flooded over a few hours ago). And we met some of your neighbors, and girl and boy, whom we thought were Sarah and Joel at first. The girls name was Saran. I think they're the ones who you said were Catholic, or Mormen? With all the children? They live in the house that looks like a little women house. :) And then of course we drove by your home, not intending to come in, but hoping to give you all a wave, and Joel and Sam were near the horse fence, looking at the water, I guess, and we honked and waved, and yelled, but they didn't see us. ;| Anyways! :) I'm *hoping* we'll still see you tommorrow as planned!!!!!! :D
Love!!

cool/weird/scary at the same time. :-) I absolutely love rain, but if it threatens your house it turns scary. :-)

But it's fun, for a while anyways. Floating down the river sounds fun. :-)

Sounds like you are getting a real deluge. Hope it doesn't get into your house. During the yrs. I've been in FL, we've had a couple of really bad rains that flood the roads out. Very poor drainage here.
5 acre backyard! If I go 20 feet in my backyard I run into the neighbor's fence. Someday I want a big backyard.

Oh yes, 5 acre backyards are lovely, especially ours! :) Someday I hope you get one. :)
So when it's flooded, has it gotten in your house? When this flood was coming, Daddy said how people in Florida would think this was no big deal, and I thought of asking you about that. :) I have good news though! But I won't tell you here, I'm going to do another post. :)
