Excitement, perhaps a little too much!

First of all, I need to mention that Andy and I found a house a few days after the last post. It has everything that was on our original "want" list and is perfect for us. Our projected closing date is September 4th. Here's hoping that nothing goes askew.

Now, onto the real reason I'm writing a post. Andy and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary yesterday, and it was by far the most exciting anniversary we've ever had! We made plans to go on a St. Croix riverboat cruise. It was a wonderful time, but the trip there was quite the adventure! We saw our first tornado and major flooding on 35! Talk about scary! There were no indications of a tornado. No pea green color, no loud freight train, no funnel, and no sirens. However, there were flying trees/shrubs and a head or foot board from a bed flying around in a circle and complete downpours. There is nothing like being stuck in traffic and watching a tornado, not knowing what is going on or having a safe place to go. Apparently, this was a surprise tornado for all of the meteorologists, as they thought it was just a rainstorm w/ the potential of being a nice thunderstorm. They were wrong, VERY wrong. However, it made for a memorable and exciting day. Although, I don't need that kind of excitement EVER again.
