Well if you saw the news, then you have seen the devastation that took place here on Saturday afternoon. This is a first for our family and I think we are still in shock and processing that we lived through a tornado, we are a very THANKFUL family and community! This storm probably only lasted 10 minutes or so cruising through town, but left a lot of damage and took many lives in the process. Our city is still recovering and many efforts are being made to help all those in need, it is encouraging to see the church and community come together and show love. Here are some pictures from our backyard, these are nothing compared to things a couple streets over and further north, but thought you would like to see what happened on our block!

| Our house, we were going for the speckled look, if you look you can see a stick that was lodged in our siding, random. |
