"Dorthy The Tornadoes Hit Near Darlin' Country"

I would like to start this post off by saying that all the families affected by the storms that hit yesterday are in my thoughts and prayers. The storms hit hard yesterday killing over 200 people and leaving so many without homes. They say it was more tornadoes hit the south yesterday than ever.
Being that we living in the mobile home, I was watching the weather like a crazy woman. I let the hubby go to sleep as soon as he got done with dinner because I feared it would be a long night. I layed Skylee down at her normal bed time. I kept at eye on the weather, even when it ment I had to miss my Netflix and watch American Idol ( I hate that show ). Around 9:30pm we were packed and heading out the door to stay the night at my parents house.
There we watched the weather up until around 11pm, praying for all the people and sending out texts to check on everyone.
Now I was never a co-sleeper so me and the little one had a hard night. The hubs slept on the couch after being kicked a billion times by Skylee, leaving the queen size air mattress to us. She rolled around and wanted to play. I would close my eyes and pretend to be a sleep and she would poke at me. It did get sweet when she started getting the "sleeping" me kisses. It was more kisses than she has ever given me willingly.
The thunder started to boom through the house and we could hear the rain pouring. Skylee would jump on top of me every time a crack of thunder came through. But thankfully by the grace of God it passed soon and everything was okay. I finally got Skylee to sleep around 3am and then got the hubs up at 5:30am for work. Then I was up again at 8am with Skylee wanting to play.
I thank God for watching over us and our home. And I pray for those who are dealing with all aftermath today.
On a lighter note, I would like to share how crazy my husband is. He said he something happens to our house and we have to start over, he's going to at least start over with his TV.

This is where we get when storms come through, if we stay at the house at all.

Yes the hubs put the TV in the fort. As you see it's still safe today. Thank you Storm Fort.

And I would like to throw out a quick pray for the people of Japan. They are going through a really hard time and have lost many. I pray that they lose no more and that we can help them all we can so that they can rebuild and move on from this horrible time. I also pray that people back here and get in contact with their family back in Japan. God bless them.

God Really Does Answer Prayers

As I have posted about before, We were having car troubles. We had to out our car into the shop 2 different time in one week. With that, we maxed out our cards and had to borrow money from from the in-laws.
I was so worried about having the money to pay bills and pay everyone back. Then God answered my prayers and we got Scotty's w-2s. So even though we didn't have the money right then, at least it was coming.
We have been scrapping by this pass week and having trouble just paying for gas to get to work. I kept telling Scotty that it would be okay. And God answered my prayers again. Last night I went to check the mail and there set a check. Scotty gets checks from his school of the extra money that is left over once ht e army pays for his course. So like I was saying, there set a check for $250. More than enough to help us until the next pay day.
I have been just over joyed about this. It just shows all you need to do is keep faith. God will always come through when you leave your worries in his hands.
