Tough break

So as most of you know we have been having some pretty nasty weather here in Oklahoma. Praise God that we did not ever lose power through all of this. Let's go ahead and say a prayer for the hundred's of thousands that are still without power and let's pray for the workers who are doing their best to get everybody warm again!

The trees are such a problem right now, they have split like crazy all over Oklahoma and have downed power lines and closed streets. I wanted to show you the progressive loss of our poor side tree. Bless it's bark. When we moved in our neighbors said that this tree was sick last year and the old owners did a lot to try and save it. I hope the tree makes it through this winter.

On a side note, the boys returned to school today. They were glad to get back! Their school district was the only one in central Oklahoma to have class today. I have to admit, I am very thankful because 4 days of house arrest was enough for all of us!

Thanks to everyone for sending such sweet notes about Michael's promotion! We are still on cloud nine! :)
