So last night we had THE most EPIC thunderstorm I've ever experienced out here thus far.
It shook the entire house with each crack of thunder. The lightning lit up the whole backyard. Illuminating the rainfall as it poured hard, and thick onto the grass.
I jumped when I heard the first set start. I giggled and looked at my husband and mother-in-law. They both just glanced at each other and Caleb replied: "That's what I've missed about the south. It only get's better as we go deeper into summer."
Man I freakin love it!!!
However there are a few cons about having a storm like that over us. We have to unplug the internet or else it'll fry our modem. That and Arresa and I have to scramble and pull out all the candles so that in case the electricity goes out (which it has before with a smaller storm) we can see at night. We also prepare blankets and clean up the house and always have dinner made and ready to eat so in case again, if we lose power, we won't have to worry about warming up our food.
I've been a little paranoid ever since Arresa told me that if it looks yellow outside, that means there is a tornado warning most likely to happen and that we need to find shelter. That and I have to keep a close eye on the Peachtree weather system so that we can see if there is anything else coming our way.
Luckily, the pine trees that they used to have on there property are long gone due to other storms that had struck them or fallen. Pine trees are the worst kind of tree to have because even with the bigger ones with the roots deep in the ground, they are the ones that always fall and cause damage. Our neighbors behind us and across the street have some that are pretty big. Hopefully they won't fall on us because I like the house I live in!
Only other news I have is that I found a super good deal on a treadmill. I was at a yard sale were my mother in law was buying me a dinette. The seller was trying to get rid of everything out on the lawn and I got it for....wait for it..... 25 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes it still works and believe me, I'm excited to use it once I have the room for it haha. It just needs some oil to help the squeaky wheels and then I'll be all set!
