Busy Month

We have had a busy month and with Christmas around the corner, it is going to get busier.  Our youngest, Tyler was baptized on November 12th.  It was bittersweet.  He was so excited to get baptized and I was sad to see my last child get baptized, but I am so proud of him and the awesome example he is to me.  Then, last week, a windstorm hit our neighborhood, hard!  Most the homes were okay with minor damage, such as blown tramps, a few shingles, Christmas lights blown off, etc.  Then the rest of us got hit really hard.  We lost 2/3 of our roof, broke one window and cracked another, destroyed our basketball hoop, ruined most of our soffet/facia, bent our garage door, broke some house lights by garage, completely blew out our fence on one side, and then minor crap like tar splashed all over our house.  The wind blew non-stop for about 10 hours.  It was the scariest thing ever.  To look out the window and see big objects flying through the air, is indescribable.  At the end of the day, the house is a mess, but it's only material.  Going through this, makes you appreciate your family that much more.
