A Royal Wedding and a Funeral?!


I thought the Royal Wedding was truly beautiful! Kate's (Princess Catherine...and whatever else her formal title is!) dress was gorgeous! Very stunning! (I wasn't able to stay up and watch it live, but I watched it later the same day.) Although it was a very formal wedding, it didn't totally  feel stiff and starchy. I thought it was really sweet when she arrived at the front of the church and he told her that she looked beautiful.  Both bride and groom were radiating happiness. I hope they have a very long and happy marriage!

I'm still finding it a little hard to believe that Osama Bin Laden is actually dead. I'm sure someone has already taken his place...I just hope this doesn't mean an even bigger problem. Like someone else said "I hope the terrorists don't ramp up their attacks." I'm not usually a big worrier, but it makes me worry even more since my husband is getting deployed. I just have to keep reminding myself that God has it all under control!

Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend! I bet not many others could top this one! =)

Tornadoes....here?!

Someone on base took this video of the tornado that briefly touched down on base. (He uses some bad language so you can mute it if you'd like.) Even though sirens were going off, I wasn't freaked out because I didn't expect it to be all that serious. I'm from tornado alley after all! (Guess next time I hear sirens going off on base, I should be a  little more concerned!) Fortunately no one was hurt and the neighborhood I live in had no damage that I'm aware of! Thank God! My husband and I were at the church on base at the time so I didn't know what I'd find when I got home...I was hoping my dog was ok! Driving home, we saw a lot of tree damage and a few outdoor kids toys and a trashcan strewn around. The power was out for about 6 hrs. last night. They restored it pretty quickly considering all the branches that were down and probably resting on power lines. I'm glad it got restored when it did because it was getting pretty hot in our house...and it was decently warm outside too. I know I really have nothing to complain about considering the heavy losses down south. I feel so badly for them. My thoughts and prayers are with them! I'm from Kansas so I expect to see tornadoes there, but here and down south?!? I had no idea!



Here's a picture someone took not far from base. Looks pretty scary!
